My name is Francheska Rose Diaz. I am a 23 years old girl who was born at Los Angeles, California. I grew up in a rich family that's why I'm already living in a huge and luxurious penthouse, my parents worked at Paris as business partners who owns a 5-star hotel. I only see my parents every 25th of December, Christmas day.

My parents left me with a male butler when I was 3 years old. As far as I remembered they left on the day of my birthday and it was very sad to see them go. Everytime my birthday comes, I always wait by the window for my parents to arrive, but they actually don't. Until I got used to it.

So, after having a chit-chat about that letter and the rose, we continued watching the movie, but I can’t help to restrain myself looking at the rose.

"Still wondering? Heiley ask while being focus in watching the movie

I sighed, sit up straight, and grab the rose on the table.

"Whoever gave this rose to me, I really want to know” I stood up and started to become antsy and started to wobble around

"Chill out gurl, there's nothing to be so impatient about. You know what? Let’s just check the CCTV footage to see who gave it" She suggested after thinking for the greatest idea

"You're right! Let's go and ask to the customer service. "I exclaimed and hurriedly grab my robe from my room

I saw Henderson (My butler 20 years ago) wearing an apron and just got out from the laundry room, carrying a laundry basket and a hanger. I just pass through her then suddenly he calls my name

"Rose" He called with a very deep voice

"Yes Hendy? "I responded and stopped running. I glanced at him and I bet he called me because he noticed me running

"What's the rush about? And could you please help me hang the laundry? " he ordered

"Sorry Hendy but I really need to go, just dry them using the dryer okay? " as I leave and went to the elevator with Heiley.

*silence*

"Weird.” Henderson wondered

From the 5th floor down to Lower Ground we go. After the silence in the elevator we walk towards the customer service and ask

"Good morning Ms. Diaz, how may I help you? "The women in the customer service ask

"Good morning, uhm... We are wondering if we could check the CCTV footage 20 minutes ago" I said

"Well... Is there any reason? " She ask politely with a sweet smile on her face

"We just receive a present and wondered who gave it, my mother haven't told me that she would leave a present" I explained

"And it’s not even her birthday" Heiley inserted and I elbowed her for being too stupid

"Okay, I'll give you this two VIP ACCESS to let you in the security lounge and please don't touch anything and observe silence. Thank you" as she hands off the VIP ACCESS I.D

We wore the I.D and head directly to the security lounge. My hands were trembling and cold as snow, I don't even know why but maybe it’s because I'm too curious to know the guy who gave this rose to me or maybe there is something with this guy/girl that wanted something from me like my exes. We knocked three times and went inside the lounge.

"Good morning Sir" we greeted as soon as we get inside

"How may I help you?" The security guard ask

"We are wondering if we could check the CCTV footage 20 min ago" I responded

"Is there any reason?" He asks
