Burning Passion - Chapter 344
CHAPTER 344: CONFRONTATION WITH ROSIE
* * *
At the University, Nina’s class just finished for the day. She immediately went to the café to meet Harry. Arriving at the place, she saw him seated near the window on the second floor.
The guy didn’t notice her as Harry was busy writing on his notes; even his surroundings were noisy, and the boys fooling around. Harry seems engrossed in what he is writing.
Nina remained standing outside the café, looking up, staring at Harry. It was Ash who noticed her, and the guy waved, gesturing to come up. Nina nodded as she resumed walking. But before she could step inside the café, Rosie blocked her way. As usual, her friends are tailing her.
Nina pursed her lips. Rosie is Steven’s ex-girlfriend. They say Rosie is chasing Steven to get back together, but Steven only ignores the girl and dumping her over again.
So then, Rosie always gives Nina a disdainful stare every time they cross paths.
She could see how her eyes were full of hate toward her. But she doesn’t care about Rosie. Nina would be happier if Rosie and Steven would get back together. But Steven has no interest in the woman anymore. And her disgust for Steven has even worsened and seeing Rosie also irritates her.
And today, there’s something new in the way Rosie looks at her. It was something that Nina was sure of that it was bad news.
“What do you want?” Nina asked Rosie with a lazy tone. She felt bored talking to people like this type of girl.
They are the ones who think they are the campus Queens, and everyone owes them a path every time they walk in busy corridors and pathways anywhere on the campus. It would upset them if anyone blocked their way.
In the past, Rosie attempts many times to speak with her. But since she is often with Steven or Emily and Vanessa’s cheerleader’s squads, Rosie can’t dare to get near.
But today, Rosie had the courage, since Steven wasn’t here, and the girls registered for the Cheer Camp, a competition in summer; they were busy doing their routine, at the same time preparing for the upcoming exams.
“You’re a bitch,” Rosie suddenly calls out Nina.
They say Rosie enjoys embarrassing other people. And today, she chose Nina to provoke.
“Isn’t that your nickname?” Snorts, Nina returned to Rosie, which made the latter stunned.
“What the…” She didn’t expect that Nina Li has a sharp tongue, she only hides in front of everyone. She could not believe that she is actually not just a pretty face but also speaks bluntly.
The entire time that Nina is with Steven and the other girls, she would always stand out. Her presence is deadly. Her elegance can make a woman feel insecure and envied at her. She was like a real-life princess with such breeding and modesty in the way she walks and speaks.
But what made Rosie irritated most at Nina is because of how Steven heads over heels at her.
It is known to everyone that Steven is a playboy. Rosie was well aware of it, and she did everything to get Steven’s attention. But he only sleeps with a girl who would not chase him or question what their relationship is.
She wanted to be Steven’s girlfriend. But he only wanted to make out with her. When she tried to talk to Steven if they could try a serious relationship, Steven told her he won’t call her again, and she could stop bothering him.
She admits that it was her fault. She even chases him, and this made Steven annoyed at her. Not only that, but she also begs Steven that he can still sleep with her even though he already has a girlfriend he proudly shows off to everyone.
But Steven only stared at her with disgust. She doesn’t understand why Steven is so loyal to that girl. Nina Li was still in England that time around Rosie was chasing Steven.
And when Nina came to New Jersey, she was like her nightmare even in daylight. She was extremely jealous of how Steven was intimate with Nina Li. Steven never showed affection to a girl in public. But Steven treats Nina like a Queen!
What made her special? Is her wealth? Rosie always mulled over.
Rosie’s family is also wealthy, as Nina Li. Her grandfather owns many stores across the states, and her father runs a big firm in New York, which her mother had a clothing store in the same city, and she knew many famous fashion designers and icons.
But Nina Li is always above her. It didn’t hide to her that many fashion houses invited Nina Li to be part of their photoshoot for a magazine and runway shows, but the girl only turned down the offers. Rosie was very annoyed because it was her dream being offered like that, but Nina Li is such a prideful person!
All these years, she tried hard to get the attention of those Scouts by wearing only brand clothes and driving different latest cars. However, even how hard she tried to show off, it was never enough to please the fashion world.
And it upsets her that Nina Li, whose luck is knocking on her doorsteps, only chases them away because she is not interested in the limelight.
Seeing that Rosie was lost in her thoughts, Nina rolled her eyes and snapped to the girl. “If you had nothing important to say to me, then you are just wasting my time.”
Upon saying it, Nina took a step forward, but Rosie stopped her.
“Ah, ah… Not so fast, bi…tch. I’m not done yet.”
“Then what!?” Nina blurted out. “Honestly, I have no time for this! Besides, the only bitch here is you.” Nina scoffs. She’s eyeing Rosie downward.
And it annoys Rosie when Nina only countered her insults. “Stop being clean,” she hissed.
Nina shot a glare at the persistent girl. ‘Dammit! She and Steven have no difference. Both are annoying! Why does Steven won’t get back to this girl instead?’
“What are you trying to say now?” Nina queried Rosie nonchalantly.
“Tell me. Are you and Harry had a relationship, Nina Li? Are you cheating on Steven and your friend Kristina?”
