Chapter 303 - Apology

After he left Rachel went to the washroom to take a shower and quickly put on her clothes after coming out. Robert came back soon after she had changed and then he said "You should spend some time with Oliver right now. It will be for you to forgive me and I will be fulfilling my promise of telling you that I trust you."

A wide smile spread across Rachel's face and she wrapped her arms around his neck to his him on his lips and then she said softly "You don't have to do that, you accept me being friends with him is enough for me."

He smiled "I know but I want to show my sincerity moreover he is already here so you can't send him away just like that."

Rachel's eyes widened "So this was your way of apologizing and you went away in such a hurry to bring him here."

He nodded and she let out a laugh "Alright then I will go."

As he left Robert heaved a sigh of relief, he thought that she would refuse to go and it would not have been good for him. Oliver was already waiting for her downstairs and he flashed a bright smile on seeing her "You are here then let's go, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

She smiled at him and sat in the car as he opened the car door for her. Soon after he started driving, Rachel asked "Where are we going?"

Robert smiled again "First to a place where Robert wants me to take you then a place where I want to take you."

Rachel gave him a stern look "Can you be more specific."

"No" she rejected her straight away.

She rolled her eyes "Fine"

He turned around to look at her "Does Robert really live with you?"

Rachel's eyes widened "Who told you that?"

"Everyone in the school says that and then he went inside your house without knocking."

She smiled "It's not like that, I have given him the keys to the house because he is my boyfriend but why would we live together. He just comes here often."

Oliver let a sigh of relief which Rachel didn't notice because she was just happy that he bought what she said. He then asked her "Have you guys made up?"

When he asked that question, a warm feeling spread in Rachel's heart and she smiled at how Robert loved her that he was ready to leave all his arrogance behind just to apologize to her. She knew it was the most difficult part for him because as a ruler he had always ordered people to do stuff for him and he was used to it. She knew he had never apologized or bent down in front of anyone but he had done that all for her so how could she still be angry at him, she could never be angry at him for a long time so she smiled sweetly "We just had a little fight and I wanted to show him that I was angry at him but he apologized so sincerely that it could have melted anyone's heart so I forgave him."

A bitter smile formed on his lips and he realised that it was useless to cling onto false hopes as she loved that person dearly. He felt like a bad person to separate two people who loved each other deeply hence he decided to give up and accept his fate. He decided to look at the bright side of it that he got to be her friend which many other people wanted but didn't have the chance. He was lucky to have found her that day and he was happy that he could at least see her anytime or talk to her anytime he wanted. He suppressed his desires and decided to be content with whatever he had as he had observed their relationship and he could not help but agree that Robert was perfect for her. 

He then made small talk with her until they finally reached the mall. Oliver took her to the most shop of most trending and high quality brand. This brand was known for being expensive and had the best quality clothing. He took her inside and went to talk to the owner "We are here for the dress Mr. Robert ordered."

Hearing this the owner was overjoyed and and led them inside to the exclusive part of the shop where not many people were allowed and she was made to sit on a large chair and she felt like she was the queen. 

Soon a few dresses were brought into the room and Rachel could not help but gasp in surprise. Such beautiful dresses that she had never seen before, she wondered how much Robert had spent on it that even she was surprised. 

Oliver smiled seeing her reaction and then the owner spoke "Ma'am, he designed these dresses himself and he said that you can take whichever you like and leave the rest of them here."

Rachel felt too emotional that she was unable to speak for a while and then she said "I love them all, they are so beautiful that any woman would desire to just have a glimpse of them but what if they don't fit."

The owner smiled "They were made keeping you in mind so each of them is your size."

Rachel smiled "I will have them all."

The owner smiled at her and said "Then I will pack them all."

As she went away Rachel looked at Oliver and said "Was it just me or her smile really felt like it was about to kill me, I felt like she wanted to stab me at any moment."

Oliver laughed "Off course she felt like killing you because she was jealous of you having such a handsome man around you."

Rachel gave him a disgusted look and he turned serious "You said it yourself any girl would just want to have a glimpse of it and now you are the one who gets to wear it and moreover these are specially designed for you. Now you said you want all of them had you left any one of them could have it so it is natural for her to be jealous."

Rachel chuckled said proudly "I like it then let them be jealous, I won't let anyone else wear something that my man made for me with so much effort."

She took all the dresses and went to the car along with Oliver and then turned around to look at him confused "Why did he not come himself and send you with me?"

Oliver was scared that if he told her, he would end up dead so he simply said "How do I know what goes on in that weird guy's head but when he asked me to take you here I agreed because that way I get to spend more time with you."

Rachel didn't think much about it and nodded her head, she then smiled at Oliver and said "Let's go then."

She was so happy by the surprise that she could not contain her happiness and she then said taking out her phone "I want to call him and thank him."

Oliver was quick to snatch her phone and made a quick excuse "It is so rare that he let's me spend time with you and you want to call him at this moment, you can already see him later so talk to him when you reach home."

Rachel's smile fell and she said "Okay" but then she suddenly remembered that Oliver doesn't know that Robert lives with her so why did he say that, he eyes narrowed and she turned around to look at him "Wait a minute what do you mean I can see him when I reach home."

Oliver had accidentally spoken too much so he raced his brain and said "He was there just now when I was waiting for you so it is natural for him to wait for you as he must not have talked to you."

Rachel was relieved with his explanation and said "Oh, that makes sense."

Oliver made sure to think before speaking or he would have his head separated from his neck by tomorrow. Soon they reached a cabinet which was a little far from the crowded areas and Rachel looked around feeling a pleasant and relaxing environment around. 

She turned to look at Oliver and with a smile she made a joke "So this how I am going to die, I should have known that no person can be sweet without any reason and now you finally reveal your intentions of bringing me to such a deserted place and kill me."

He laughed at her acting and he went along with it, closing the distance between them, he grazed his finger on her cheek "Ah! What should I do tha to am exposed now, I guess I don't need to pretend anymore."

She laughed and then realized that there was something going on she didn't know about so she asked in a straight forward manner "Oliver tell me what are you hiding."

The smile on his face froze with the fear of being exposed."
