Houston suddenly sent her a text with two movie tickets attached. They were for the same film Rose and Jackson were currently watching.
Rose, are you free tonight? Come watch a movie with me
Rose quickly sent Houston a screenshot of the movie screen.
Houston’s expression darkened immediately as he saw the screenshot. “Rose, who are you with?”
Rose couldn’t see Houston’s dark expression through the phone screen.
“Jackson,” she confessed, not great at lying..
Houston’s anger flared. This was one of the rare romantic love movies being released, marketed as a gift to all the true lovers and couples in the world.
And here Rose was, watching it with Jackson, How could he not be angry?
“How is he with you?
Rose replied honestly, “Well, he still has feelings for me, and my dad, eager to marry me off, bought us the tickets to give us some private time.”
Houston’s jealousy soared.
Rose then sent him a soft and sweet text: “Houston, I’m feeling uncomfortable. Can you come get me?“
When Houston saw Rose’s message, all of his bad mood disappeared in an instant.
He couldn’t help but smile faintly, then called out to his assistant, “Daniel!”
Daniel hurried into the room. “Mr. Clarke, what can I do for you?”
“There’s a new employer at Clarke Group named Jackson. Gall him and tell him to come to the office immediately.
Daniel was puzzled. “But Mr. Clarke, the company’s recent workload islight. No one needs to stay late this week.”
Houston, still holding the movie tickets, responded nonchalantly, “You handle it.”
Daniel, who knew Houston well, realized this was just Houston’s way of causing trouble for Jackson. He felt sorry for the guy. who hadn’t even settled in at the company yet and was already in Houston’s crosshairs. His time at the company was about to get difficult.
“Understood, Daniel replied, leaving to carry out the task.
At the cinema, Jackson’s phone rang while he was absorbed in the movie. Rose reminded him. “Mr. Jackson, your phone”
He glanced at the screen, and his face grew serious. “Sorry, Rose, I have to take this important call”
“Okay,” she replied
Jackson stepped out of the theater but didn’t return. Instead, he sent Rose a text
“Huse, the company called me back for an urgent matter. I’m sorry, I have to leave now. I’ll make it up to you next time.”
Rose sighed with relief, feeling the tension leave her
However, not long after, a tall figure sat beside her. A cup of pure green tea was handed to her, and she was startled.
When she saw who it was, she gasped. Houston!”

Houston took out a bag of premium snacks, handling her chocolate and pastries. Rose eagerly indulged, savoring the treats.
After feeding her, Houston began questioning her. “Do you understand the meaning of this movie?
Rose shook her head and gave a simple response. “It’s a love movie. I don’t usually watch films like this Each love is different, and I just don’t connect with the main character, She sacrifices everything–her career, dignity, and even self–love–just to love the male lead. Doesn’t she worry he’ll betray her?” She said the last part quietly, with some frustration.
Houston suddenly took her hand, speaking in a low voice. “Rose, every love story is unique. But everyone should admire the couple in this movie. They never experienced betrayal. Instead, they lifted each other up during their lowest points, stayed supportive in their everyday lives, and achieved the humble goal of growing old together”
Rose fell into silence.
Indeed, while this love isn’t loud or dramatic, it is deep and lasting, hand in hand through the years–an example of pure love in a world full of distractions.
Thanks to Houston’s words, Rose began to appreciate the film more. By the time it ended, she was in tears as she left the
“Houston, that was so moving.”
Houston looked at her gently and said, “Rose, we can have that kind of love too.
Rose remained silent.
As the movie ended, Houston and Rose left the cinema together. But as Houston was about to part ways, Rose suddenly grabbed his hand, playfully holding onto it.
Houston Houston froze, surprised by her gesture. Rose then casually added, “My dad made an extravagant lunch,“ Houston’s expression quickly darkened. Wasn’t that for Jackson But Rose added, “It’s for my dad to host his future son–in–law.”
A sudden realization hit Houston, and almost immediately, he tightened his grip on Rose’s hand and walked towards The Bloomingdale Residence
Rose watched him, unsure if he had caught the hint.
Only when they reached the building and she stepped into the elevator did Rose smile.
So, he had understood hier after all.
However, Rose soon became worried again. “Houston, my dad already has an impression of Jackson. If he treats you rudely, don’t take it personally
Houston smiled softly Got it
When Rose brought Houston into the house, Sam was completely stunned to see him.
Rose, where’s Jackson
Rose casually replied. “Hr got called into the office for an urgent task.”
Sam glanced at the lavish spread on the table, his disappointment only lasting for a moment. Then, he placed a hand on Houston’s shoulder, leading him into the house.
Houston, come on in. I owe you a huge thank you. If it weren’t for you getting Dr. Jason for Linda, her recovery wouldn’t have been so quick You’ve really helped the Marshall family!
“Mr. Sam, it was nothing. No need for thanks”
Rose was in disbelief watching Sam and Houston get along so well
Not long ago, they were in conflict–what had shifted Something gets off
