Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 494

Jay's attractive features darkened further.

"People, I want these flowers thrown out." Jay's tone was sinister.

Suddenly hearing Jay's voice, Rose shot up in shock.

A few handsome-looking men in black suits and sunglasses flooded the room and quickly cleared away the roses fluidly, leaving nothing behind.

Rooted in place, tears threatened to fall from Rose's eyes from how wronged she felt.

Jay stared at her, fuming. "Don't you know some patients could be allergic to flowers?"

Rose opened her mouth but remained silent.

Why was he picking on her? He was well aware her grandfather was not allergic.

"Yes, Sir. I understand. It won't happen again," Rose said, whimpering.

Seeing as he had once again brought her to tears, Jay felt the flames of frustration lick in his chest.

"Who sent them?" he asked coldly.

"A friend," Rose replied.

"Boyfriend?"

Rose neither nodded nor shook her head.

Despite being a girl, Josie went through the trouble of cross-dressing to play the role of her escort.

Not to mention, this was hardly the time to reveal Josie's identity.

Jay took her silence as a yes.

Infuriated yet without an outlet for anger, he turned to ask the bodyguard beside him, "I need a smoke."

In response, the bodyguard courteously handed him a cigar and lit it with a lighter.

Jay took a long drag before exhaling a round puff of smoke.

Rose stared dazedly at the man before her. 'Didn't he say he's quit smoking?'

What a liar.

"Smoking is prohibited in hospital rooms, Mr. President." Rose reached out to point at the 'no smoking' sign on the door.

As such, Jay exited the room. He reeked of tobacco when he returned after God knew how many cigars later.

Due to her sensitive respiratory tract, Rose could not help the coughs that bubbled up.

Jay took a step backward, giving her more room to breathe.

She stared dejectedly at him. "I get that you might be unhappy, Mr. President, but that's not a valid reason to act out on the innocent." Hearing her, his expression froze. 'Innocent? Her?'

She might as well be the button that controlled his emotions. Whether he was happy or not depended on her.

'How could she call herself innocent?'

"All patients are allowed to receive flowers and gifts, so why can't mine?" Rose tried to reason with him.

He replied, "Do other hospital rooms have just as many flowers as well?"

Rose pouted. "The hospital has no rules against how many flowers patients are allowed to receive."

He said, "You're still going to be unreasonable?"

She felt resigned. "You're the one who's being unreasonable."

Then, she began to drone on with a hurtful expression, "That's 999 roses. I've never received so many before my entire life! I can't believe you'd just throw them out. You didn't even ask my opinion on the matter." 1

"Your opinion?"

Rose lifted her head excitedly. "If you won't allow that many flowers in the hospital room, I can bring them back to my dorm. Seeing them every day would lift my spirits."

Jay's expression darkened to impossible depths.

He had finally understood the saying, 'Women were high maintenance'.

That was the only explanation as to why ignorant women were so easily attracted by flowery words and the like.

"Very well. I'll pay you back.' Jay decided it was time he opened her mind with a wake-up call.

When Rose returned to the dorm that day, she found that her apartment had turned into a sea of blooming flowers.

There were all sorts of roses in all sorts of colors, shapes, and sizes-Clustered and bundled together. It left Rose shocked for quite a while!
