Tragedy 217 - The book is falling


...***...


Bruk!


Several books fell from the top of the shelves on Rei's body. Luckily he managed to protect Lucia from the books that suddenly fell.


Lucia is shocked when she realizes that Rei is trying to protect her from books falling from the shelves.


"You okay?" Rei loosened his embrace, staring at the now in his arms at Lucia.


Lucia's face warmed up and began to turn red. Especially when Rei's face was once again closer to her. His heart even roared even more.


"What are you doing! Don't touch me!" Lucia pushed Rei again until it made the man move away from her. "Look! I don't need protection from you!" his yell.


Some students from behind the shelves suddenly came to them.


"Good God, I'm sorry. I accidentally dropped all these books. I was gonna bring…"


"Next time you have to be more careful, don't make others wretched because of your carelessness!" cut Lucia with a look of annoyance, she glared at the girl who had just dropped the books off the shelf.


"I'm really sorry." The girl bowed.


Lucia. He glanced at Rei at a glance with a hostile look before then walking past him and reaching for the one book that had just fallen from up there.


Rei was speechless looking at Lucia's departure. Meanwhile, the girl who had dropped the book began to squat down and clean up the mess she made.


Rei helped. After that pick up one book and leave immediately.

Rei continued walking following Lucia who also came out quite simultaneously with him.


"I have to ask her this so that I know what makes her act cold and keep distance from me like this. I started to feel uncomfortable," Rei murmured softly like a whisper. He rushed to chase after Lucia.

"Elvina!" Leon suddenly made her startled as Elvina stepped out about to have lunch, and the man suddenly appeared in front of her study door.


"The father really surprised me" Elvina said. He rubbed his chest slowly in order to win his heartbeat due to surprise.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you. I'm just here to take you to lunch together."


I hope this time he doesn't resist, Leon thought. He looked at Elvina expectantly.


"Lunch with dad? Come on, I just happen to have something to talk about as well."


"K... Do you seriously want to have lunch with me?" Leon turned bright, a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome European face.


Leon did not expect that Elvina this time would accept his invitation to lunch together, after repeatedly failing. Eventually he managed to get Elvina to eat with him.


This is progress, meaning that my efforts are not in vain. It's true said Irfan, I have to approach her in a subtle way so that Elvina can melt with me, Leon's inner being.


"Then let's eat outside" he asked.
