Chapter 44: A Deal with Rosiana Family (1/2)
Rex was stunned, he's from the military so this kind of thing still makes him nervous, and for the record, Rex never has a girlfriend his whole life.
His heart is thumping for unknown reasons, ”Why so sudden? Do I look like I want to go out?”, Rex said.
Rosie looks at Rex up and down, a pair of slippers, a black t-shirt, and shorts. Rex's appearance is too casual for dinner with her parents.
Rosie thought for a bit before she said, ”It's in a mall, so we can buy clothes first”, she then drags Rex outside.
Just as they got outside of University, ”Wait, do you even have permission to go out?”, Rex asks after remembering that students need the classroom lecturer's permission to go out of the university.
Rosie becomes annoyed by Rex asking too many questions, ”Just shut up and follow me”
Hearing this, Rex sigh and decided to let Rosie drag him.
They both get in Rex's car and get out of the university,
The security which is an Awakened ask for their permission before the security let them out,
It is already afternoon when they got out of the university, the sun is golden while the sky is deep orange in color.
Rex felt he can finally breathe again after getting out of the university, in the university is too tense for Rex the vibe in it is not comfortable for Rex.
Compared to the outside where there are many normal wholesome people, Rex preferred outside than the university.
Rex drives the car slowly, he didn't even turn on the air conditioner and open the windows to breathe the fresh air.
Rosie on the side was speechless, ”Why do you look like someone that just got out of prison?”
The veins on Rex's forehead bulge feeling annoyed, ”Can you let me be? I just got out of the military if you somehow forget”, Rex said annoyedly.
Rosie chuckles and keeps teasing Rex, the drive is full of Rex's curses and Rosie's laughter.
They arrive at the mall where they first met, Rosie and Rex look at each other feeling nostalgic as they walk past the entrance.
The entrance is where Rex transform for the first time,
While they are walking, Rex remembered that Lucas Platchi is dead, ”Wait, if Lucas Platchi is dead, doesn't that mean you're free?”, Rex asks.
”Are you dumb? Of course, my parents have multiple candidates”, she replied irritatedly.
Rex scratches his head feeling dumb, 'What am I thinking, just look at her. With that kind of beauty, there will be no shortage of men lining up for her'
Rosie looks at the time and nodded her head, they still got time to buy Rex clothes.
They both arrive at a suit store, it is called Bugo Hoss,
The saleswoman approaches them with all smiles, ”Welcome dear customer, what can I help you with?”
”I want to find a suit for my boyfriend here, can you recommend some?”, Rosie said, she called Rex her boyfriend casually as if they're really are one.
Rex stunned on the side, Rosie notice Rex stunned expression and whisper, ”Stop doing that, if you're not casual about us we will be in trouble when we meet my parents”
Rex nodded his head and follow the saleswoman,
The saleswoman brought him to the measuring room, she then measures Rex's figure and said, ”As a boyfriend, you must look good especially when you have that kind of beauty outside”
Rex can only smile wryly while hearing the saleswoman nag,
The saleswoman takes the measuring tape and measures Rex's shoulder, ”You're frame is big, I recommend you black or maroon slim-fit modern style suit and a matching pant. It'll be perfect for the both of you”, she claps her hand and said with stars on her eyes.
She then goes outside to bring the suit,
'Why does she look so excited? Is this marketing strategy?', Rex thought before he chooses the option brought by the saleswoman.
Rex tries on the maroon suit, he also asks for shoes, he can't wear a suit while wearing slippers.
Rosie is sitting on the sofa waiting for Rex when suddenly the measuring room opened,
Rex got out of the room wearing the black suit, his muscular frame fits perfectly on the suit highlighting his masculine aura more than ever.
Rosie's mouth went wide for a second before she reverts back to being unperturbed, 'Does he always look this good? Suit really does bring the man out of any guys', she thought.
Something inside Rosie's heart moved as she looks at Rex,
”So? What do you think?”, Rex asks when he gets no words from Rosie.
Rosie shakes her head and replied, ”That'll do, you look decent. Let's go”, she said trying to hide her flustered face.
Rex nodded his head and paid for the suit, his wallet is bleeding after paying for the suit.
After getting Rex's clothes, he looks fresher than before.
If before his looks emits a bad-boy aura, now he brings a gentleman aura that attracts women.
While walking to the restaurant, many girls can't help but look in Rex's direction, some even went to Rex and asks his phone number directly before got cursed by Rosie.
The girls give Rosie a disgusted look and whisper to themselves, Rosie swears that she hears the word 'whore' in their conversation.
Rosie wanted to confront them but stopped by Rex, ”Don't, you will ruin your appearance if you make a fuss”, Rex said trying to persuade Rosie to stop.
Rosie got annoyed by the girls that ask for Rex's phone number, she's fuming with anger but decided to ignore them, ”They dare to ask for your phone number in front of me?! Did they thought I am just going to stand here like a display?!”, she said angrily.
Rex grabs Rosie's waist, he knows this is the only way Rosie will shut up.
Feeling her waist got grabbed by Rex, Rosie really did shut up with a blushed face.
Not long, they both arrive at the restaurant where Rosie's parents are already waiting.
They both fixed their clothes before entering,
The restaurant looks like a high-end restaurant based on the people who dine in here, it is a steak-oriented restaurant covered in a red carpet, the place is golden with pillars on the sides.
