Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 182 - The Dress Shop

"I want a grand entry into the palace. I know my mother does not have a good reputation among her people but I want to be welcomed into the palace with the whole world being aware of it," Rose told Liam seriously.

"I will make that happen. Get ready to meet your father for a dinner next tomorrow," he informed  her.

Her lower jaw dropped at that information. She did not expect him to be able to set that up or she would have asked him to earlier. She would have asked him to set up a meeting with her father but he was faster than her.

"I will make sure to tell him about the grand entry tomorrow morning," he informed her.

"Thanks," she said and began cutting her steak.

"Eat well," he told her with a small smile when she began chewing on the mouth full of steak obviously enjoying it in a way that pleased him..

"We should get married soon enough before my movements gets too monitored to keep our relationship a secret or we won't be able to go on with it," she told him calmly but it was not hard to see the raging storm under that calm façade.

Liam smiled softly as he looked into her hazel eyes. Why did it sound like she was in a hurry to get married to him? Or perhaps she was angry that she wanted their relationship kept secret.

Rose avoided his gaze and took a sip from her glass of non-alcoholic red wine. She did not know what he was thinking by smiling at her in that manner but she knows that she felt embarrassed under that gaze.

"You too, eat well," she said when she could not stand his gaze any longer.

Rose spent most of her morning shopping for a gown that will look very expensive enough to intimidate her father if possible. Most of the clothes Liam bought for her in that house were based on her past style and way of dressing with a lot of calmness to it but that was not the way things was now.

She was not calm and gentle any longer she needed her cloth to make a statement and since she could not make one in such a short period, she went to one of her ex-adopted mother's stores to pick one of the dresses she designed.

"What are you looking for miss?" one of the staff in a black suit walked to her with an obligatory smile.

Rose did not bother to smile back. "I need one of your most expensive dresses," Rose simply replied pulling out the black unlimited card Liam gave her when she left his mansion in his sport car.

She did not want them to think she could not afford the dress since she was only wearing a simple black pair of jeans trousers and a cream wool sweater. She was saving them the trouble of being scared that she was only going to waste their time.

Being aware of the power of the black card Rose held, the staff's smile broadened in a manner that was clearly trying hard to please Rose in every way.

"Come with me," the staff said in a singsong voice.

She led Rose to the next floor and opened a door that led to a whole different section of the shop where the very expensive clothes were kept for VIP customers.

"This world is really a small place," Rose heard a very familiar voice say from behind her and she heard foot steps come closer to her.

"You must be here to buy some clothes,"  Rose stated the obvious. This must be so since Rose was no longer available to make her clothes.

"But I am very surprised to see you here especially with the drama you pulled before leaving," Anna said with an obvious hint of sarcasm and scoffed.

"I can't remember pulling any drama. I am here because I trust my hand work more than any other," Rose replied easily and walked to a black backless sleeveless dress and touched the silk fabric.

"I want to buy it so keep your hands off it," Anna said antagonistically. She folded her hands on her chest when she got close the dress.

Rose glanced at Anna with a bored expression. She really did not expect such old school childish bickering from her very matured and modern sister. She moved away from that dress to another dark purple dress with stones on it in a beautiful pattern.

"I want that too," Anna shouted pointing at the dress. She was made to get angrier by Rose's nonchalant attitude towards her.

Rose glanced back at Anna but she did not say a word as she walked out of the room. The staff was stunned and could not say anything since she knew the identity of the antagonist who was being served by the manager herself.

"Hmmph," Anna said angrily and stumped her feet on the floor. She knew what she did to Rose by not believing her was wrong but she was still not sure that Rose was actually saying the truth. However, Rose left her in the cruellest manner.

She had already virtualized all the fun she will have with Rose in the Royal University but it all got ruined. She ran after Rose and met her about to leave the shop.

"Rose," she called out to her despite how hard she tried not to.

"…" Rose turned and faced her sister with a blank expression.

"I got into the Royal University," she told her feeling awkward when she felt so many gazes on her. "We will meet in the Royal University."

She wanted to sound challenging but at the end of the day, she sounded like she couldn't wait to meet her sister in the Royal University and have fun with her. When she realized what just happened, she frowned with her fist clinched and walked back towards the steps to go back upstairs.

Rose found that very cute as she smiled before walking out of the shop. The reason she did not bother taking things seriously was because she was supposed to be angry with her ex-family and that Anna was unhappy that she left without a word to her.

She was no longer a member of that family and she did not want to be bothered by them. Anna should be apologizing to her not trying to offend her but she found herself unable to get offended by what just happened because she could not simply bring herself to hate Anna at least not now.
