Chapter 1048 - Spa Treament (1/2)

Rose looked at Rune for a good one minute, trying to understand what he was trying to say. Why was he so certain that time would not be an issue? Did he know how long would it take for one person to get over a heartbreak?

Rose wished she had the man's confidence. However, she didn't want to keep him on a string, just like what Pierre said about a relationship earlier.

That's why she preferred to be honest. If Rune had made his intentions clear.. then so should she.

”Thank you for your kind words,” she whispered. ”I hope it won't take too long though.”

She touched his cheek and then tilted her face and kiss Rune on the lips.

The man was in a daze because of the unexpected kiss. Before he could get a hold of himself and returned the kiss, Rose had let go of her lips and walked away.

”See you later,” she said, waving her right hand, without looking back.

Rune could only stand rooted in his spot, watching the girl leaving until she was out of sight. After Rose was gone from his vision, the man touched his lips. He could still feel her sweet lips there.

And her scent around him.

Dammit. He should have been able to control his feelings and return that sweet kiss.

It was too late now.

Rune could only scold himself and finally decided to go to his room and calm himself down.

As planned, JM came down from her room at 11 am to meet Rose and her mother who was getting ready to be pampered by the spa team.

When they arrived, the staff was pleasantly surprised to know they would treat not only the crown prince's sister but also the most famous supermodel in the world today, JM.

The session started with some photo sessions and the excited therapists all ask JM for an autograph. For people who work in the beauty and wellness industry like them, meeting someone like JM was the highlight of their careers.

Actually, meeting Rose was amazing too, but they had met her several times already since her mother often booked the spa sessions from their company in the past. So, seeing Rose again was not as exciting as the first time.

However, it's different with JM. She didn't live in Bacilia and there was no way to tell if she would ever visit again. So, the chance to meet her this time felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the incidental fans' meet-and-greet ended, finally, Rose, Duchess Fournier, and JM could enjoy the wonderful spa session that lasted for almost four hours. They got a massage, scrub, flower bath, and several other treatments.
