Black Rose: Revenge Of The Callous Heiress

Rose made her way to the black gate and pressed the button on the voice intercom that was placed outside the gate for visitors.

"Young Miss, how may we help you?" A voice belonging to a security officer asked Rose through the intercom. They had been watching her every move ever since she stepped out of the taxi and made her way to the black gate through the CCTV camera that was outside. "Hello, I'm here to see the Gray family." Rose announced through the intercom. It was obvious that the security guard didn't remember her since she hadn't come in a car owned by the Gray household. Besides, it's been years since she moved to study overseas as well. 'I guess I will just let this one slide.'

"Do you have an appointment?" The security guard asked again.

"No I don't." Rose replied curtly.

"That......" The security guard was about to say something when Rose interrupted him.

"You can go ahead and inform them of my presence here, I'm sure they would know me instantly." She suggested it before the security guard could tell her what he was about to say.

"Uhm......"

Rose frowned when she heard the hesitation in the security guard voice. Is that hard to ask from his superior?

"I don't think that is a very difficult task to do as a security guard, is it?" She asked, the frown on her deepened as she raised her head up and glared at the CCTV camera.

"I understand. How may I address you?" The security guard asked. For some reason he felt a chill run down his spine when he saw her glare. Despite the fact that he would twice Rose's age, the little girl's glare was able to make him gulp "Tell them that Roseline is outside here." Rose curtly replied.

"Okay, hold on for a short while." The voice said.

After a few minutes of waiting, the mansion gate automatically opened, giving access to Rose to enter the mansion.

"Miss, I've confirmed from the head maid and you have been granted access inside. Please make your inside now." Rose heard the security guard voice speaking through the intercom.

"Thank you." Rose gave the camera a small smile before walking into the gate, leaving the guard stunned when he saw her smile for a few moments.

A moment ago she was glaring at him like she could reap him apart through the camera, but now, she just smiled at him like she never had that expression on her face.

Rose made her way into the mansion compound. As expected, it looked the same just as she remembered in her previous life except for some few changes which could probably be done by her stepmother.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

By the time Rose strolled her way to the main building, she raised her brow when she saw the lines of maids waiting by the entrance.

"Welcome back, Young Miss Roseline." They all greeted her with a bow.

'This is unexpected.' Rose thought to herself.

"Young Miss Roseline, welcome back. I apologize that you had to wait earlier outside the gate. We had no idea you would be arriving today, if not I would have prepared a car to come and pick you from the airport." A middle aged woman in her late forties, stepped forward. She was wearing the head maid attire and she bowed politely at Rose.

Earlier when the security guard came to inform her about Rose's presence. She was shocked by the news because she never expected that the first young Miss would arrive all of a sudden without announcement. She sent the security guard back to allow the person who is claiming to be the first young Miss in while she quickly gathered a few maids and workers to pay their respect to Rose.

"It's okay, since I didn't tell anyone that I would be arriving, it is natural that the security guard acted that way." Rose waved her hand casually and replied. "Besides, it's been a long time since I've seen your face again, aunty Paige." She added as she bent her body down a bit to look at Paige, who is none other than the head maid.

Paige has been working in the mansion ever since her mother married her father. Even after her mother died and her father brought home her stepmother and two kids he had out of wedlock, Paige still chose to continue working in the mansion because she was very close to Rose's mother and didn't want to leave her former madam child in the hands of the new madam.

Although Paige always looked cold and serious, Rose knew deep down that the woman cared about her because she was the only person that wasn't fake to her with her love.

"I can say the same for you as well, Young Miss. And you look older and different from the last time I saw you." Paige raised her head and looked at Rose who raised the corner of her lips at her. Although her Young Miss looked the same as she remembered, she felt like Rose was different again at the same time.

"You don't look like you've aged yourself, aunty." Rose teased.

"Don't flatter me, young Miss. I've grown more wrinkles on my face already." Paige retorted back, she turned to look at one of the maids and gestured to her to collect the backpack from Rose.

"I think you're still beautiful. Anyways, is my room prepared? I need to rest after that long trip." Rose asked.

"Your room is always cleaned ever since you left the country. Please, come with me, I will lead you to your room personally." Paige replied as she gestured to Rose inside the building.

Rose nodded her head and handed her backpack over to the maid before walking inside.

"Why did you suddenly return back before the due time without informing the master, young Miss? I heard you took a taxi over here? It's very dangerous to take public transportation like that. We wouldn't know if something had happened to you. Even if you wanted to come back earlier than planned you should inform us." Paige nagged as she led Rose to her room. Despite the fact that she was happy to see Rose, she still nagged her for not contacting the mansion to send a driver to fetch her from the airport.
