Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 367

William and Grace Roberts had been on a business trip for several days and did not inform Rose of

their return date. Therefore, she had no choice but to look for her brother at the pier after work.

Rose felt bored at Frank’s office playing video games every day. On the other hand, she had no

intention of running a sideline business either. Therefore, she had a lot of time on her hands.

Rose had chosen pediatrics by chance, mainly because she liked children.

Rose curled

up on

the sofa and shook her legs while racking her brain about what to do next.

Her brother’s office at the pier had no atmosphere whatsoever. Everyone there was serious and cold.

Other than the occasional imposing manner Frank Roberts called out to his subordinates, the office

was quiet and severe most of the time; Rose felt oppressive,

Suddenly, she heard a disgusted voice coming from a nearby desk. “You’re going to get Parkinson’s,

for crying out loud!”

Frank stared at Rose shaking her legs, and scolded her; it made him go crazy.

Rose lay on her side and sounded her brother out. “Don’t you ever feel bored, Frank? Do you want me

to help you improve the atmosphere here? I won’t charge you a cent.”

Frank stared at his sister suspiciously for a while. “What are you going to do, huh? 1 don’t have time to

clean up the mess after you.”

He was swamped lately, preparing to take over the Roberts family’s business. Therefore, he was

involved in all the ongoing projects to familiarize himself with the company’s operations.

In addition, he had to keep an eye on his sister.

Rose thought of an idea. She thought it was such a good idea she had to share with Frank. “Can I have

some fun here, Frank? I’ll create a unique atmosphere at the pier for your sake.”

Frank did not bother to chat with her. He did not expect Rose to cause too much trouble when he was

around. “Up to you,” he said casually.

Rose was ecstatic by his permission. She immediately jumped up from the sofa and walked outside.

Frank did not ask Rose what she wanted to do. If she left him alone, she could roam around the pier as

she pleased.

Frank would keep an eye on her anyway.

Not long after, Frank heard a voice mumbling outside. “Oh, please don’t!” He frowned and had a bad

feeling but did not go out to check.

Rose stood in an empty lot in front of the office, directing with her cell phone in hand.

A dozen or so good-looking lackeys stood before her. Rose nodded satisfactorily and asked. “Does

anyone else want to

train?”

Those standing afar who managed to dodge the selection immediately shook their heads, indicating

they did not want to be a part of it

It was a blessing Rose did not choose them; none wanted to be made monkeys.

Rose looked disappointed. “Hey, guys. Aren’t you afraid your legs will stiffen if you stand there all day?

Ignore them, the rest of you. I promise they won’t be as agile as you guys in the future.”

“Come on. Cheer up! Don’t look so lifeless. From today onward, we will organize a fitness team at the

pier. As a doctor. I’ve decided to lead you out of your sub-health zone for your sake. You don’t have to

thank me. I’m a kind person by nature,” Rose said confidently.

Tom, who was in the lineup, looked like he had nothing to live for; he had problems coordinating his

limbs and hated group exercises. He wanted to say, “Miss, you’re a pediatrician, not an internal

medicine doctor. But he held his tongue.

Rose could change her occupation at will just because she was their boss’s sister.

Just then, a lively song for dance exercise filled the empty lot as a bodyguard held up a cell phone.

Rose led the group in front, followed by the lackeys’ lackluster moves.

After one round, Rose turned around and looked at the crowd. She was dissatisfied with their

performance. Only a few made the cut; the rest looked like they stepped on collon.

They were helpless weaklings, in Rose’s opinion.

The music continued to play but did not affect those unloading the goods. Everyone felt the pier had

become much livelier

since Rose’s arrival.

The energetic music excited the workers, who even hummed along. “Miss Roberts is quite cute.”

An older worker complimented Rose.

“Isn’t it? The atmosphere at the pier has become much livelier recently. It’s quite an improvement from

the lifeless state before.”

Frank was drawn to the commotion at long last. He opened the door with coffee in hand. He was

shocked by what he saw and choked on his drink. “Cough, cough, cough, cough!”

A lackey quickly ran into the office to get a tissue and handed it to him. “For you, Frank.”

Frank took the tissue and wiped his mouth. He then narrowed his eyes and looked at his sister, who

commanded the bodyguards with all seriousness in exercising. Confused. He asked his lackey. “What

is she planning to do?”

The young man replied truthfully, reciting Rose’s words verbatim. “Miss Roberts said chatting and

standing idle all day were bad for our health. Therefore, she wanted to lift us out of our subhealth zone

free of charge. We don’t have to thank her for being a kind-hearted doctor.”

Frank’s head throbbed after he heard that. He handed the coffee to the lackey and pinched between

his eyebrows. His sister would think of the weirdest ideas to make his life difficult.

Frank did not think it was about his bodyguards’ subhealth issue. Instead, he was sure his sister’s brain

was fried and could not think straight anymore.

However, Frank did not intend to stop Rose. He did not want to be bothered by her and would rather it

be the bodyguards who suffered than him.

Frank took a video of Rose while leaning against the office door. Then he sent it to Grace Roberts and

thought, “Thank goodness she will be back in a few days”

Otherwise, the pier would become a stage if Grace was not back anytime soon.

Moments later, Grace sent a message. [What does Rose want to do?]

Frank replied. She’s gone crazy.-]

[I’ll be back when she’s back to normal.] Grace texted.

Frank was speechless.

Grace sounded like she did not intend to interfere and let Rose do whatever she wanted. Frank put

away his cell phone and. walked into the office. He thought for a while and sent the video to Ava.

However, there was no response for a long time. Frank assumed Ava was in class, so he placed his

phone at the corner of the table and ignored it.

He went back to work after that. Focusing on building his career was Frank’s priority.

Just then, a white Mercedes-Benz slowly drove toward the pier. The tinted windows were closed, so

people from the outside could not look in. However, those inside the car could look out clearly.

They could, in fact, see everything around them.

Kyle Jenkins was in the driver’s seat, wearing a white shirt. He turned to look at Edward Landor in the

front passenger seat beside him suspiciously. The latter narrowed his eyes as if he did not believe what

he saw

Kyle was equally bewildered by the scene before him and could not believe his eyes.

Apparently, Rose Roberts used the pier as an open stage to train the bodyguards in dance exercises.

Both men were dumbfounded.

Kyle was in a daze. He firmly believed Rose had somehow conquered Edward’s heart because she

was unique and special.

Therefore, he was curious about how Edward felt when he saw the unusual situation. “Do you have

anything to say, Boss? Miss Roberts seems a little odd.” Kyle said.

Edward looked away after a while and replied calmly, “Everyone has their own way of expressing their

passion for life. Each individual is different, that’s all. What you do may seem odd to others too.”

Kyle smiled and said without hesitation, “I understand what you mean. You don’t think she’s strange at

all. Instead, you admire her initiative.”

“Can you stop overthinking everything I say? I meant everyone lives differently. Don’t misconstrue me,”

Edward protested.

“I think you can live in another way, too, like the bodyguards before you. Hoping and jumping-”

Kyle suggested with a half-smile.

Edward ignored him as the car drove to the side of the road. He chuckled for no reason when he saw

Rose trying to teach the bodyguards to dance. She chose to live freely by turning the pier into a stage

and did not care what others thought.

Rose Roberts was the one and only woman who dares doing such a thing

Kyle glanced at Edward and smiled. He said nothing, believing his intuition was spot on as usual.

Meanwhile. Rose cheered enthusiastically. “One, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Three, two,

three, four. Let’s do it all over again!”

Rose cried with zest like a professional dance instructor. In fact, she had learned dancing for quite

some time in Sapphire City to overcome depression. She would dance until she was drenched in sweat

to vent her frustration.

The upbeat energy seemed to have a rippling effect after a while as the workers at the pier began to

move to Rose’s rhythmn.

Someone shouted. “One, two, up!”

Another echoed “One, two, up!”

Both voices seemed strangely harmonious as the workers moved in sync, motivating each other to

work. All the cells in their bodies appeared to be stimulated by the beat of the sound

When Kyle and Edward exited the car, they saw the hardworking workers smiling. They were

speechless.

Edward glanced at Rose agam, his gaze dark and unreadable. He could feel Rose’s uncontrollable

vibe as if she was born with

it

Rose focused on teaching and did not notice anything else. She said to the exhausted bodyguards,

“Look at your state, guys. Practice with me every day to free yourselves from the subhealth zone. It’s

free for all; I won’t charge you. You don’t have to be nervous.”

The bodyguards were too tired to say anything.

Rose sweated profusely; she finally found an excellent side hustle. Although she did it for free, she

would save lives in one way or another. Helping others had always been Rose’s true spirit.

Out of the lot, Tom was the only one who exercised every morning for his job as Rose’s bodyguard. He

did not want to slack. off training his body daily. The rest of the bodyguards seemed to be more lax

compared to him.

Since the Roberts family’s business got on the right track, many bodyguards had earned their keeps

and lived comfortable. lives thanks to Grace and William Roberts. They neglected exercising, and most

had piled on some weight. A comfortable life made them lazy.

The bodyguards panted after Rose finished practicing with them. On the other hand, Tom felt that

Rose’s method was an excellent way to perk everyone up. He enjoyed the workout thoroughly.

When Rose eventually walked into Frank’s office, the latter looked at her and teased, “You have finally

found your calling in my office.”

“Hey, don’t you think it’s such a good deed? Look at your lackeys; they’ve all grown fat. How can

bodyguards afford to be so fat? Do you think they can manage to run long distances should something

happen? They can bearly finish 700 feet and are already out of breath,” Rose said sternly.

Frank agreed with her. However, things were different now. The bodyguards did not need to risk their

lives in their jobs, so Frank neglected their training.

“In that case, I will pay you for your effort, Frank suggested.

There’s no need for that. We’re family. However, if you insist, I’ll not resist. I will accept it graciously.”

Rose gave her brother a polite look. “Go ahead and pay me, then,” she thought.

“I thought you wanted to be superwoman. I didn’t expect you to want to be a savior too. You’re quite an

ambitious young lady. Rose. Tell me when you’re about to become immortal. My humble office may be

unable to accommodate you.”

Frank continued to tease his sister without looking up.

Rose understood what Frank meant, but she could not be bothered to chat with him. She had no

intention of being Edward’s backup lover, thinking only a fool would be a substitute. Although

handsome and refined, Edward already had someone in his heart. Rose did not want to compete with

Natalie.

Although Rose did not regard herself as outstanding or particularly likable, she did not prepare to be a

stunt double to win Edward over. She rather enjoyed singlehood.

Now that Rose found a side hustle she enjoyed, she could give Grace Roberts a hand in mentally and

physically lifting the bodyguards’ morale. It was her gesture of helping the family.

With this thought in mind, Rose felt confident her idea was indeed a good one.

She then walked into Frank’s bathroom with a towel to wash her face.
