Staring at the young man before her, she could easily remember why she felt he looked so familiar. He reminded her very much of a man she knew all her life before her mother died.
Remembering it was rude to stare, she dropped her gaze from his head but stole occasional glances at him. He had black eyes and black hair with a professional style that made him look both stylish and smart. His thin lips, slim high bridge nose and tall height were what she felt looked the same to the person.
Anna tapped Rose laps under the table and gave her a questioning look but Rose shook her head slightly and kept eating. There was something she also felt in the presence of this teacher but she could not pin point what it was. His voice was gentle and mumusical.
With every word he said, she felt chill run down her spine and back to her chest. Her chest felt stuffy and her heart began beating fast. She noticed Rose staring at him the way she did and she knew there had to be something wrong.
.
The man noticed the exchange between the two girls and a slight smirk lifted a corner of his lips and a sharp mischievous glint flashed in his eyes before he dropped his gaze down to the plate of desert before him.
That did not escape Rose's glance and she could not but shiver slightly from the thoughts she imagined that could have made him smirk in such manner but none of her imaginations made no sense. There was no way their teacher liked Anna right?
She glanced at Anna shortly and noticed something but she shook it off. The man looked . . .
It was her duty as an elder sister to protect her sister from every hungry wolf. She did not hide to stare. This time she met his gaze and kept staring without breaking eye contact until her mother cleared her throat.
She glanced at Valerie who was hinting that she should drop her gaze. Rose smiled slightly exuding as much elegance and moved her gaze to the dessert in her dessert spoon but returned her gaze to the young man when the dessert was less than half centimeter close her lips.
He was still staring her and she kept her eyes locked on his black eyes as she ate her dessert. Valerie could not hold back a sigh as she watched her elder daughter glare at a teacher from her school. She wasa mother that believed that children should be well behaved and get do well academically.
She doesn't support unruly behaviors especially being disrespectful to a teacher being a teacher her self. She met Anna's gaze and moved it to Rose who always seemed to be the calmest who was now boring holes into her teacher with her eyes. When Anna followed her gaze, she moved her gaze from them.
Anna immediately tapped her sister under the table. She frowned when Rose met her gaze. She leaned close to Rose, "let us talk after dinner," she whispered to her sister hoping her very obedient sister stops glaring at a teacher from their school.
"Thank you for saving my daughter's life," Valerie said after dinner. She had thought it over and over again but she could not come up with the right gift to give the man who saved her daughter's life. Anna could have died but his little effort sced her daughter's life. If he had not done what he did, she would have lost yet another child.
"You are welcome. I only did it out if instincts," he answered his head bowed humbly.
Valerie smiled and nodded.
"I heard you are a doctor in mathematics," Justin said standing beside his wife with his hands wrapping around her back
"Yes, I only became a doctor few months ago," the young man answered with a shy smile.
As Rose watched from the side, she could not help but feel the man's humility did not fit his appearance. He was definitely a genius but he was not as poor or as naïve as he tried to appear as with that humility he wore.
As she watched him, she concluded it was only because he was a doctor at his young age. She felt he deserved that pride any way. Perhaps since her parents were of higher status than him, he tried to be as humble as he could be.
"I hope you become a permanent teacher. Men of great potential like you should be accepted immediately. Our kids need more geniuses to help them," Justin said as he watched the man closely. The more he looked, the more he felt this young man looked familiar.
"Some of the teachers are professors and their experiences are priceless. The teachers are really trying hard. I can assure you that your kids will be taught well. I graduated from the school and they helped me. They will definitely make your daughters the best they can be," the man said still maintaining that humble façade.
"Yes, I know that. Rose was taught well and she made my wife and I am proud of her," Justin immediately boasted about his eldest daughter.
"I heard she broke a record. I also saw her on the internet and I think she is better than anyone else," the teacher agreed immediately as his gaze moved to Rose. Rose was a very interesting girl and she was also a genius. She was definitely going to survive and make a name for herself in the fashion world.
He moved his gaze Anna shortly before returning it to the couple before him. The girl, Rose looked so much like the late Queen and her countenance was fit to be a royal perhaps even the princess.
His eyes shone with excitement, he was actually loving the way things were turning out to be. He had to find a way to get really close to their family and find out all he can. He knew the kids mother was the late Queen's cousin.
The Queen and their mother looked do a like that people called them twin. Could it also be that Rose was Valerie's daughter? His eyes immediately lost the excitement it once had. He thought it was going to be fun but there was no fun in digging out the dirty secret of someone's family.
A little closer to the family and he will be able to confirm if Rose was Valerie's daughter or the princess. If she was the princess, he mentally rubbed his hands together in excitement.
"Why do I feel this man is weird?"Anna asked stealing glances at the man.
"I think so too." Rose nodded thoughtfully. Should she tell her sister what she thinks?
"You were also behaving weird during dinner, what's wrong with you?"
"I just think he looks familiar."
"Same here, I think I know him very well."
"He looks at you in a weird way too."
"You also looked at him in a weird way too."
"He took your first kiss," Rose whispered teasingly.
Anna dropped her head in embarrassment before beating Rose's hand playfully. "He saved my life," she argued. She raised her head slightly and stared at the young man who was good looking. He had black eyes like her and she could not help but smile at that but his voice . . .
"I have to call Wayne and Debby to come over for lunch tomorrow. I also want to go through my assignment with Wayne," Anna excused herself and walked out.
"What about Jace?" Rose asked remembering that funny guy had been missing for almost a three weeks.
"I don't know. I think it's some family issue. He sent a text on the night he left. He said he had something to take care of," Anna replied with a sadden expression. She pouted her lips slightly with her brow furrowed. Did she miss him?
She shuddered at that thought. There is no way she miss him right?
"How about we check on him with Debby and Wayne tomorrow? Perhaps we will get to hear it from him directly," Rose suggested to take the frown off her sister's face.
Anna's eyes brightened and she smiled. "Great idea! No . . . I mean good idea," she agreed without a second thought.
"I have an interview after lunch time tomorrow for a youth fashion magazine," Rose reminded her sister.
"Yeah that's right but I told you the magazine is not popular enough," Anna disagreed.
"I'm not asking for your permission. I only want to tell you we have to go to see Jace before lunch time so tell Wayne and Debby," Rose answered.
"Cruel," Anna commented with a slightly pout. She shook her head slightly and wore a teasing smile. "You want to check on Jace so you could see his brother, right? We can go before breakfast if you are so much in a hurry. Hmph."
Rose face turned a light shade of pink. She opened her mouth to talk but she closed it at the end of the day as she glared at her sister.
