As we stepped out of the office Edward asked me, "Why you hate Italian food?"

"What? No, I don't hate Italian food. Who said that?"

"Okay. Let's walk."

Leaving me surprised, he starts walking. It takes me few moments to find my mind and I run to catch up with him.

" Hey, why you said that?"

"Said what?"

"That I hate Italian food." I rolled my eyes

"Because there is a nice place around and they serve Italian food." There is a crooked smile on his face.

I smiled back as we walked through the busy 1st avenue. There is a mom walking in front of us carrying her baby girl. The kid is staring at us for last few minutes. I start making faces to her and she smile. Watching us, Edward also starts making faces. At one point, Edward winked at her and in return surprising both of us, she gave a flying kiss. I burst into laugh. When I looked back, I found Edward staring at me like ghost and his eyes are searching for something in my face.

"What?"

"Nothing." He grabbed my hand and crossed the road. We entered Terrazzo Carmine. A waitress greets us and led to a table. She gives us two menu and left. I sat in silence for few minutes then take a menu and start going through it. Edward has become silent again. He is scrolling down his phone. The waitress came back to take the order.

" Sir, are you ready to order?"

"Yes"

What? I though myself. He hasn't even touched the menu and he is ready to order. Suddenly I felt that he is staring at me. I looked up. He arched his eyebrows.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you ready to order?"

"Um..." I swallowed and placed few strands of hair behind my ear.

"Do you want me to order for you?"

"Yes please." I replied immediately

He smirked. I felt color creeping on my Face.

"One Rigatoni Bolognese, one Suprema Di Pollo Alla Griglia and one Bistecca al pepe.""

"Okay. Any drinks?"

"Two cold water please."

"Sure. Any dessert?"

"Do you have chocolate cake?" I asked the waitress.

"No ma'am, sorry."

"Oh. Its okay."

"We have other dessert you can try."

"Um.. no. Thank you."

"Sir, Anything else?"

"No. thank you."

As the waitress left, I found Edward again staring at me as if searching something.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." But kept staring with frown. I moved uncomfortably. He looked away. I sighed and looked around to see there interior. It's simple but classy. I looked through the glass window. There are colorful flowers in front of the restaurant, I smiled watching the flowers. I love flowers. I looked back at Edward, who is still stuck in his phone. My mind drifts away. I always wanted to go on date with Edward and today finally I am here with him, though he doesn't know my true identity, also it's not a date. I sighed heavily.

West

Something is wrong. Definitely wrong. I always got a feeling that I know her. I have seen her before. Most of all, She has lots of similarities with Rose. On the same time, she is so different from her. Today at the road when she laughed I went dumfound. The exact same way and some Rose used to laugh. How two person sound same while laughing. Again, she asked for chocolate cake! Chocolate cake was Rose's favorite. She always used order chocolate cake whenever went outside. Damn it! What am I thinking? May be Stella also like chocolate cake. There are many people like chocolate cake. Wait Stella? Rose's first name was Stella too!! I looked at Stella. She is sitting in front of me staring out, watching the flowers. But she is not Rose. Rose has the most beautiful eyes in the world. Those blue eyes, I will never forget. I looked at the picture of Rose in my phone. Is it a coincident that there are so many similarities? I need to know more about her. The waitress is placing our food in front of us. As we start eating, I tried to talk with her.

"So, Miss Green. Which college you went?"

"I went to University of Washington."

"Hmm... What's your major Miss green?"

"English literature and please call me Stella."

"Ah.. Stella. What's your full name?" I know she doesn't like it when I call her Miss Green. I was waiting for this reaction.

"Stella Green."

"Just Stella Green? No middle name?" It strikes somewhere. She has stopped eating and staring at me. But gather herself.

"Yes, just Stella Green. No middle name."

"Are you sure?"

"Y-yes. Of course." She answered shakily. Why is she so nervous?"

"Well do you have any siblings?"

"No. Eat your food it will taste bad when cold."

"Oh. Yeah."

"By the way, which university you went?"

"I graduated from Yale University five years ago."

"Wow. Then joined your dad's company?"

"Not really. After graduation I came to Seattle and opened a brunch of my dad's company. I am the owner of Seattle brunch and I work independently. I don't like working under anyone's command."

"That's great. Why you chose Seattle?"

"Because I am looking for someone."

"What? Whom?"

I looked at her, she drinking water, "A very dear one of mine. Her name is Rose. I know she is....."

I couldn't finish my sentence as Stella has choked and started coughing. I quickly went beside her and rub her back gently.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." She said in a croaked voice.

"Are you sure? What happened?"

"Nothing. I am fine. Let's go, we are being late."

"Yeah. Let's go."

After paying the bill we left the place and now walking back to office. Stella is walking like someone is chasing her. Why is she behaving like this? Is it because I mentioned about Rose? Does she know her? I need to find out.

As soon we reached office Stella hurried back to her room. I went straight to Olivia's Desk,

"Olivia, I want Stella's CV. Bring it to my desk immediately."

After a few moments Olivia hand me Stella's CV and I have gone through it. There is no clue. According to her CV, her parents are dead, her schooling is in Seattle. But Rose's parents are alive and she went to the same school of mine. I can feel there is a riddle but I can't solve it.
