Genius Child For a Cold-hearted CEO
Chapter 16

...The Cunning...

Man cannot avoid the scenario outlined by God. However, humans either evade or flee. Still, it must pass through the written destiny. Rosalind was really surprised. Everything he planned was messed up. The one he wants to get rid of. He returned to her and took her son with him. Making Rosalind tremble withstanding the turmoil of frustration that so peaked. A flash of the past is clearly reflected in Rosalind's eyes. Rosalind was 20 years old. Put together a plan for Irene that she really doesn't like.

Flashbacks

Irene finished working from the gas station. He checked the circular watch on his wrist. Time has shown at eight o'clock. He had to hurry to the address Liam gave him. He had finished changing his clothes and rinsing his face to make it feel fresh. Since the dismissal from the previous Cafe. Irene hasn't found a new job. He went around looking, but found no work. Finding a job is hard. If you only rely on high school.

Not long after, Irene walked towards the bus stop while carrying Liam's sweater bag. He waited for the bus to arrive and looked at the bag he was carrying.

That guy named Liam, is he very rich? Until you can brag to close a cafe? His fate is very good. He was born rich and had everything. To make my poor self even more stricken by accidents. I hate rich people like him. Irene said annoyed. He can only speak in his heart.

Irene was waiting for the bus. Suddenly a luxury car was parked right in front of him. Irene wondered who was driving the luxury car. Not long after, a young woman got out of the luxury car. Yes ... He is Rosalind Brigita. Still with a glamorous appearance with his arrogant face he looked at Irene.

Irene really did not believe it. Of thousands of people in this world. Why he had to meet Rosalind. Irene was about to walk away. When he found out Rosalind was in front of him. But hurriedly, Rosalind called out to Irene.

“Rene, what every time I meet. You always ignore me?”

Although Irene was really lazy to meet Rosalind. But he tries to stay good.

“If you put me in, you will also do the same. Let's not have to say hello to each other anymore. After all, you got everything you wanted. So, don't bother me anymore.” Irene replied in a lazy tone.

“Hey, am I that bad? Even if we're not friends. At least we've been to one school. We need to speak carefully.” Rosalind looked different.

Irene slightly scrunched her forehead. Looking at Rosalind's attitude and tone sounded different.

“What's wrong with you?” Ask Irene.

“What's wrong with me? There's nothing. I just want to, we're talking good. Aren't you tired of this bad relationship?” Ask Rosalind back.

Irene was increasingly clueless with Rosalind's sudden attitude that seemed different.

“Don't look at me like such a freak. Come on, I'll take you wherever you go.” Rosalind said with a friendly smile.

Then took Irene's hand and took her into the car. Irene refused. But Rosalind kept getting him into the car. Irene could not say anything. Just be surprised by Rosalind's different attitude of 180 degrees. Not long after, Rosalind's car broke through the night streets of the Capital City. While in the car. Rosalind seemed to be friendly and kind to Irene.

“Rene, you look tired. Drink first, you can take the drink.” Show Rosalind.

Irene saw a bottle of mineral water placed next to Rosalind's seat. To be honest, Irene was indeed feeling very thirsty. But he still hesitated to take it. Irene felt that Rosalind this time was completely different.

“Actually what are you thinking? Why did your attitude suddenly change for me? Don't you really dislike me?” Irene asked in astonishment.

“I told you. I'm tired, our relationship is bad like this. So why don't we fix it. You must be tired too, right?” Ask Rosalind back.

Irene still did not really believe Rosalind's suddenly changed attitude.

“Don't look at me like that Rene. Doesn't every human being have a chance to change.” Rosalind.

“Now, this is so sudden and feels weird to me.”

“Do not bother. I don't want to trouble you. Just drop me in front there.” Irene.

“Rene, I don't feel bothered. Don't act like this. Refuse to give a chance to people who want to improve themselves.” Rosalind said sadly. Then he stopped the car.

Irene who saw Rosalind showed sadness. So it feels bad. Although Rosalind's attitude suddenly changed, making Irene still filled with astonishment. He also could not bear to be cold to Rosalind.

“Alright, I don't believe it completely. But I will take the drinking water you offer. So you feel like I'm not giving you a chance.” Irene said sincerely. Then take the mineral water.

Rosalind still looks sad. But he smiled at Irene's words.

“Thanks Rene. I'm glad to hear that. Drink first, before you continue the journey.” Rosalind said displaying a warm and friendly smile.

Irene also smiled back. Then gulp down the drink offered by Rosalind without paying any suspicion to the brown-haired girl. Rosalind smiled looking at Irene who drank the drink. But without Irene noticing, a sneaky smile expanded from the corner of Rosalind's lips.

Irene who was thirsty spent the drink. I want to thank Rosalind.

“Alright, I will continue my journey now.” Irene said with a warm smile.

Rosalind nodded her head. When Irene was about to open the door. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head. His head was beating hard. It was as if everything around him was going around in circles.

Faintly, Irene saw Rosalind smiling while looking at Irene. Irene tried to open her eyes but it was all in vain. Until a few seconds later. Irene was unconscious. Seeing the unconscious Rosalind. Rosalind called someone immediately. Across the phone, the heavy voice of a man was heard.

“I'll be waiting for you.” Rosalind.

Why wait for me? Ask the guy across the phone.

“Of course, to prove the rumors about you are not true. Don't you want to prove that you're not that guy?” Rosalind tried to provoke the man across the phone.

I don't give a shit. The man across the phone was so cold.

“I'm sure you'll come. I will keep waiting for you. Although I have to wait until tomorrow.” Reply Rosalind.

Whatever. The man replied short. Then turn off the phone.

Rosalind looks upset. The man just turned off his phone and acted cold. However, Rosalind was confident the man would come. Rosalind knew that cold-hearted man would not stand it. If his image becomes bad in front of the public.

“I'm sure you'll come.” Rosalind said with a sly smile. Then looked towards the unconscious Irene.

Somewhere else.

In an office building. A narrow-eyed man, the owner of the hair standing like a thorn wearing a formal suit. Look out the glass window. In front of the night view with the background of multi-storey buildings spread widely. Flickering lights illuminate every skyscraper. The young man simply remained silent and looked straight at her with a sharp gaze. Not far from where he stood. A laptop lit up, on his screen displayed a screenshot of a group chat containing rumors of him liking the same sex. The rumor spread, because the young man was always cold towards women.

End Flashback

Rosalind stared vexedly at the photo of Long An attached to the document she had just read.

“This child... this child. That is impossible...” Rosalind was full of annoyance at herself.
