When he heard Rose's calm reply, Rune's admiration for the girl grew even more. She managed to still say nice things about Leon to the reporters, despite what happened.
Rose was a true lady, he said to himself.
Rune could see that even though their relationship didn't work and Rose's heart was broken badly by the man she once loved, she was not petty and vengeful about Leon.
She sat there gracefully and talked about Leon from a perspective of a good friend.
She still protected the man and didn't air his dirty laundry just to get even.
Rose didn't even act passive-aggressive or make herself look like the victim, in the hope that Leon would read those articles and realized how much he had hurt her.
No. Rose was calm and unfazed. Her smile never left her beautiful face.
This gesture didn't escape the reporters' attention. They took notes of what she told them and acted super polite when they asked their questions.
