At nine o'clock, she heard a soft knock on the door of her room before the door was pushed open slowly.Â
A figure walked in and closed the door quietly behind.
She turned off the lights of her room to reduce suspicion since she should be asleep and prevent shadows frown getting casted on the windows.
She saw the black figure take slow steps towards her while staring towards her. "Welcome," she said when he joined her at the table.
"Thank you, your highness," he replied as he sat down at the table.
Smile found herself smiling but frowned when she met his gaze. The room might be dark but it was bright enough thanks to the very bright moon outside for her to see certain things.
"How have you been?" he asked worriedly as stretched his hand towards her face and touched her cheeks in a gentle brush.
"Fine," she replied. She held back from pulling away when she felt the coldness of his hand.
"I am happy to know that. I thought you were coming to Star city for us?" he said as he retracted his hand and folded it on the table.
"That is impossible. I have eyes watching me closely and besides, I am still young and we have a lot of time to spend together," she replied seriously having an idea of what he was talking about.
"I did not tell you I want kids now, I should have the right to seek my wife's company, right? And there is definitely no way a man can wait for too long," he said sadly.
She found his sad tone funny, was he trying to seduce her by acting sad over this?Â
She smiled slightly. She knew it was best to change topic at this point. "Why are your hands cold?"
She had no idea why she blurted that out instead of talking about something serious especially the reason she invited him over to discuss.
"I have been sick for a while now that's why my hands are cold and the cold breeze outside added to it all," he replied her sincerely.
"Oh sorry for inviting you here this late," she apologized thinking he was lying to complain.
"No, it's okay, at least we could have a serious discussion. From now, I might be too busy to come over so we will talk online.
"Could you bring your laptop over?" he sounded serious making her think he was really unhappy about her invitation.
"Yes," she said with a frown as she slowly got up. She returned with her laptop later and placed it on the table in front of him.
"I am going to ensure that your laptop can't get hacked. I will create a firewall. Take this." He gave her a small jewelry box from the pocket of the jacket he wore.Â
"What is this?" she was forced to ask when she opened it and found nothing inside.
"It will protect this room from getting wiretapped. If anyone tries to, I will get a signal and find the person. You must be careful," he replied her.
She was amazed by how a small thing like this could have such important use. She wondered why she has never thought of it before.
He pulled another two other items from his pocket and gave them to her.
She took them to discover one of them was a fountain pen and the other was a small lipstick.
"You can easily carry these two around. The lipstick does the same job of the box while the pen does the same job but it has other functions."
She found herself curious of the other functions as she stared at the shape tip of the expensive looking pen.
"It has two layers. The first is the pen and the second later could be used as a knife and it can release electricity. It is weapon," Liam informed her.
He took the pen from her and uncapped it again to reveal a different pen tip. With a button pressed, she saw it create blue lights sparking.
"It is very dangerous, you have to be careful with it. Talk to your assistant about getting a self defense teacher and I will send someone here to teach you."
"Ok. I think I need it," she agreed immediately. If she knew how to fight well, she would have fought off that psycho lady.
"Now, what was I invited here for?" Liam asked when she had sat down with comfortably on the seat she stood up from opposite him.
"Oh . . . I wanted you to tell me what you found. I want to know what progress you have made. I also have a task for you," Rose replied watching him open her laptop and began typing fast on it.
He did not ask for the password as he had already began working on the laptop and she did not bother telling him.
"All the money and businesses I got for you, what do you want to use them for?"
"I want to open a fashion designing school. I want to bring less privilege kids from all over the world to learn and know about fashion in Star city.
"I will not want people to know I am behind it as it will only cause people to get suspicious in regards to the source of capital."
"Why do you want to do such thing?" Liam knew Rose was kindhearted but he could not help but feel there was another reason behind it.
"I am only doing a good deed, can't I? I want to help someone. I also want to create a hide out for myself.
"We will meet there when we want to and I will work there as a teacher to help kids you love fashion but are not able to do it because of the lack of funds.
"Whoever is recognized as the director should not have a direct connection with me."
"Ok . . .I will find a fashion designer with the right background and use my company's name to fund it."
"Ok, that is perfect. I also wanted to start a brand of my own with my friend and cousin. I will tell Carl to visit you with everything needed.
"He will be the brain behind it while I will work with him as a fashion designer. It should be a false secret.
"I will try to hide it but not too much so people will find out eventually in the manner I want them to."
"I will meet with Carl next week Tuesday. Why do you want to work with him?"
"He is one of the few people I know. He might be young and a little ruthless at times but I am fine with that.
"If he works together with Eric as a co-owner, you can say he got the fund from you since his mother saved your life.
"That might not be true but just for the sake of the public ears."
"I understand."Â
"I also want to know everything about the Royal University. I asked my assistant to find out but she could not give me what I wanted.
"I want a full detail. I want to know who and what organization holds the most power in the university. I also want to know who the Chancellor answers to."
"After the fire, the seat of power in the university changed. You could take over that seat of power, you are the most powerful student in the school now. Should I help you?"
"No, I will take care of it myself," she refused to accept his help. If she could not persuade a group of youngsters then that shows how helpless she is.
"Ok, they are hostile except they dislike you. I will send information about all of them over to you tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, thanks."
"I found the truth behind a few things. The child you told me about, the gold and the footage of your mum that led to the bomb."
"Really? Could you tell me how the child knew?"Â
"That child travelled through time to save your mother's life so it will be hard to find the child now but if you still insist, I could let him meet you."
"That was funny. You are joking, right?"Â
"No, I am not. You asked me to find the child and I did. I will find him and plan a meeting if you are still interested."
"Who told you that when you haven't seen him?"Â
"I have seen him. I will plan a meeting if you are interested although it will a little difficult."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am very serious."
"What if I know what will happen tomorrow, will you believe me when I say it and tell you it is because I am a time Traveller?"
"Yes. There will be a very heavy rain fall tomorrow. It will be best for you to be indoors two hours after dinner."
"Oh . . . Come on, it won't rain . . . No, it can't rain."
"It will and no weather forecast will be aware of it. I will come over after your dinner tomorrow."
Rose did not believe what he said at all.. She was also not expecting rain to fall tomorrow but she knew he will most likely visit her.Â
