Love Seduction
Chapters 6. The engagement plan 3

Cecilia exited the library room flanked by Derek and Lance. Lucius's coat was already draped over her shoulder, covering her torn dress on the shoulder. No one allowed him to talk, repeatedly he tried to interrupt the men's conversation, but the end result was that he was told to come out. Derek and Lance were making sure he was actually taken away from the library room.

"Paint ... What's up, son?" the alarming tone of his mother's voice made Cecil's defense break down. It's thawing.

"Mom .. I'm the one who's guilty, I'm the one who pulled Lucius, tell dad it's not Lucius' fault, Mom."

Cecilia's tears flowed, she sobbed because of the situation that had made everyone misunderstand.

"Grt ... Cecil darling, calm yourself down, what's the matter?" Amy stroked the girl's hair gently.

Cecilia hugged her mother, still crying. All the women looked at each other, they were wondering what had happened.

"What exactly is Lance?" Reggie finally asked Lance.

"Mr Lucius and Miss Cecil ...." Lance was at a loss for words to convey what had happened. He lost his voice suddenly.

"Lucius and Cecilia were found on the floor of the library room in a slightly strange position ...." Derek tried to convey what had happened without being able to hide the amused tone in his voice.

"What a weirdo, Derek?" Uncle Noel's wife asked impatiently.

"It's not Lucius' fault, Mom. I pulled it, so we ended up on the floor" said Cecilia sobbing. The girl did not realize her words even made the women misunderstand.

"Miss Cecil was found crushed by Lord Lucius on the library floor, Mrs Marlene. Miss Cecil's clothes were torn to the bare shoulders and chest" Lance said after finding her voice again.

"It didn't happen, you idiot!!" Cecilia shouted towards Lance with tears in her eyes.

"Sttt .. calm down, dear. Your father will finish." Mrs Marlene patted her daughter's angry shoulders.

"Yes, Honey. Everything will end well. I'm sure Lucius likes you a lot. That's why he did it" said Mrs Stefano.

"Oh my God .. Why is no one listening to me! it didn't happen that way! I'm the one who's wrong! I pulled it!" shouted Cecil hysterically.

"Sttt ... be calm, be calm ..." whispered Amy trying to calm down. Derek chuckled, making Amy glare at him.

"What's so funny, Derek?" ask Amy.

"No one, Sweety." Derek instantly locked his mouth, when he saw his pouting wife.

"Mom ... I want to go home" said Cecilia softly among her stuffing.

"But darling ... Your father is still talking to Mr. Eloy. How could we leave him," said Mrs Marlene.

"Lance .. Can you take Cecil home? Aunt Marlene will wait for Uncle Damario to finish talking to you." Reggie asked Lance to help.

"Well, Miss Reggie .." Lance answered and nodded her head.

"What's this?" ask Uncle Noel who just entered from the terrace with Uncle Stefano and Mike.

Derek signed with his hand. The three men who had just entered stopped and looked at the crying Cecilia.

"Go Lance. Take Cecilia home" Reggie said.

Lance nodded and immediately reached out a sign inviting him to step towards Cecilia. The girl hugged her mother again and said goodbye.

"I'm home, Mom. Tell Dad, Lucius is not at all wrong. It's not what you imagined. We just slipped."

Lady Marlene nodded repeatedly to appease her daughter.

"Lucius must have explained to your father in there, too, dear. Now stop crying and go home. Calm yourself" said Marlene. With a final nod, Cecilia stepped with Lance, exiting the mansion with Lucius's suit still draped over his shoulder.

"Is it so bad that this incident made you finally be with Lord Lucius? "Lance asked in the tone of voice he made as gently as possible. Keeping this girl sitting next to him from being offended by his words like before.

"No, not bad at all. But ...." Cecilia stop.

"But what is Miss Cecilia? you are a very compatible couple. I can assure you, Lord Lucius is a good man, he is a very loving man, his heart is full of love and affection. He'll protect and take care of you, he won't let you down."

Cecilia remained silent. The girl turned her head towards the glass and looked outwards, Lance was unable to peek at the girl's expression.

"I think you like Lord Lucius too, don't you? the togetherness you knit can make love finally grow .. Why don't you just try it?"

"Regardless of what happened was not what it seemed, if you really slipped and pulled Mr. Lucius so you fell together, would you really not try to build a serious relationship with him? " ask Lance still with a soft, persuasive tone.

"Lance .. can I ask you something?" cecilia asked without taking her eyes off the car window.

"Sure ,Miss ...."

"Have you ever been in love?"

Silent. The silence was present for a few minutes and continued. Makes Cecilia sure Lance won't answer her question.

"I just want to say ... Lucius deserves the best, the feeling of falling in love with a girl who really makes his life happy, the love that shines from within and radiates through his eyes to that girl. He can't take less than that."

Lance fell silent.

"I don't think I need to explain to you how we feel about each other. You followed him for years. I'm sure you can see ...."

Lance frowned hearing Cecilia's words.

"We like each other, but I'm sure you know in what capacity ... Is this feeling of liking just as a friend enough for your Master?"

Cecilia glanced at the silent Lance.

"Living with a girl he loved as a friend. Though out there, his true love still awaits him ...."

When Lance was still silent, Cecilia knew Lance agreed to her remarks.

"Whatever the parents' decision will be, your job is to make sure Lucius doesn't just go with the flow and make the wrong decision. For Lucius .. I don't want us to be equally sorry ... I won't be much help, you see for yourself, I won't be listened to. All my refutations and objections will not be considered. My father will make a decision soon."

Lance gripped the steering wheel with a spinning mind. This girl made her mind split. If later because of this incident both of them were forced to get engaged and get married, is that really the best for Lord Lucius? Lance is very doubtful there will be love between the two, because he can see if the interaction of the two is just like a close friend.

But if they are finally together, can't they expect that love to come, grow and blossom?

Lance became worried, what he should do later.

Upon arriving at the Damario family mansion, Lance comes down and opens the door for Cecilia.

"Thank you Lance. It has brought me home ..." said Cecilia Lirih.

"This ... return this to Lucius." Cecilia opened the coat that was draped over her shoulder and gave it to Lance.

Lance's hand picked up the Suit that Cecilia had given him, but his eyes fell on Cecilia's bare white shoulder.

"Think what I said just now. If everything is out of control, only you can help him. And it'll also be a favor for me" Cecil patted Lance's arm and looked up, caught Lance's eye and locked her up.

"Don't let Lucius lose his chance to find his true love, Lance" Cecilia said. The two looked at each other, long and without anyone intending to break that eye contact.

The strange murmur that appeared in Cecilia's heart then made the girl step back in unison with the mansion's doors wide open.

"Have you gone home, Miss?" the voice of the butler reprimanding her made Cecilia finally wake up and say.

"I'm going in. Thanks again for taking me home ...."

Then the girl passed by, entering the mansion. Leaving Lance who was staring at his back until it disappeared behind the door,

Why does my heart beat faster when I look at her bare shoulder, like I've never seen a girl's shoulder before... You idiot!! Hey silly heart, why is your beat irregular just because he touched your arm and looked straight into your eyes.
