The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 117. Don't we?
Graciella's eyes were suddenly like they were trapped in a dark spot. It was dark and seemed to hide many things within it. Graciella even needed a strong effort to be able to turn her eyes away. He was astonished, why could he be so fixated with those eyes. This man was not the first man to have black eyes he had ever met, but the look in those eyes seemed to suck all of Graciella's attention into it. Dive it to the bottom.
“I-I have to check the others,” Graciella said immediately away from the man who was just staring at her. Xavier looked at Graciella's steps away from him. Somehow not liking his steps that went to avoid him. Xavier could still smell the delicate scent of sandalwood, instantly entering his memory. This lady? why so tickle her curious side?
Xavier finally decided to follow Graciella who had been seen photographing some parts of the main room again. Graciella then immediately looked towards the victim's dressing table. He found a box of vitamin c injections. He looked into it, there were already three ampoules of that vitamin c already in use.
“What medicine is it?” asked Xavier who was suddenly already near Graciella back.
“Eh? Vitamin C, did you know your aunt used this often?” said Graciella who slowly tried to organize her feelings.
Xavier shook his head. “My aunt and I are not very close. She lived here after marrying her husband. I came here because her son knew I was in Canada,” Xavier, who suddenly felt he could tell Graciella. He was even surprised. All this time he was not a person who liked to talk at length with someone. This was compounded when he lost all his memories 4 years ago.
Graciella frowned then immediately nodded in understanding. “Alright, I think I've seen enough of all these things,” said Graciella again immediately walked to get out of the main room. Xavier just looked towards Graciella. There was a sudden urge to prevent Graciella from going any further.
But Xavier can't follow his wishes. But that woman is nobody. He could not arrange or forbid her to leave.
“How?” asked Bruce who had been waiting very curiously. Why was Graciella in that room for so long with a man who was suspicious enough for Bruce.
“I get some things I need. Tomorrow can I meet Miss Riana?” graciella asked the officer who was also waiting for them in the living room.
“Sure, I will make your schedule to meet with him,”.
Bruce glanced at Xavier who looked only at Graciella. Bruce frowned so deeply.
“Graciella what happened to you with that guy in the room? Did he approach you?” bruce asked suspiciously.
“Nothing? Why?” graciella asked who knew that Xavier was looking at her. Graciella was already all her might not to stare at the man despite the strong urge to be able to see the man.
“Ehm, I think he likes you,” said Bruce again still looking at Xavier who seemed to flinch watching all the gestures of Graciella.
Actually Xavier knows the strange look of Bruce, but he doesn't care about it. He only felt strange with the feeling that appeared every time he saw Graciella. There is a sense of familiar but also foreign at the same time. Have they known before, because they are from the same country. But if he knew this woman, but why didn't this woman say it too? They were as if they had just met this time, but his feelings said no.
“What do you mean?” ask Bruce.
“The ring on his ring finger, did you not notice it. She is married,” Graciella said taking off her gloves. Bruce squinted his eyes at Xavier's fingers. Graciella had indeed observed the man from the beginning they met and either realized or not by the man. But Xavier hid his hand adorned with his wedding ring into his pants pocket.
“Wah, right too,” said Bruce.
“You want to go home?” professor Callahan asked Graciella, who seemed to be getting ready to leave.
“Yes, Prof. I think I have enough data. I would like to take a deeper look at the video of the interrogation of the witnesses. Tomorrow I will meet Miss Riana. Excuse me first,” said Graciella.
“Alright,” Professor Callahan said. He had no right to ban Graciella, they were not as students and teachers, but as fellow investigators here.
Graciella smiled at Prof. Callahan then immediately took his phone. While preparing to leave the place he received a call from his cell phone.
“Daniel yes?” seduce Bruce again.
“Yes, he wants to invite discussion about this case,” Graciella said again smiling sumringah.
“Why not just date, you guys are perfect! Yes, send my regards to Daniel!” bruce smiled happily as well. It's been a long time since his best friend harbored a taste with Graciella. It felt like the whole campus knew that Daniel was so infatuated with Graciella. But only now did Graciella seem to be more receptive to the man's presence.
Graciella nodded as she headed towards the exit.
“I'm already ahead,” Daniel said.
“I was walking there, wait a moment,” Graciella replied while turning off the phone call. Graciella's steps were only followed by a pair of eyes looking at her sharply.
Graciella smiled slightly and saw the man almost 180 cm tall standing leaning against his car parked outside the luxury villa. The petite Graciella stood in stark contrast near Daniel, who opened the door for her. Graciella got in the car. Daniel immediately drove the car when everything was ready.
Before the car left the large villa grounds that became the main residence of the victims several years ago. Graciella could catch the glare of the eyes with a flat face that stood upright that continued to stare at her. From earlier he knew that all his movements were noticed and followed by Xavier. But Graciella pretended not to care. Why would he bother with that anyway. He and Xavier, only known for a moment. But what about the feeling that felt strange every time he saw the man? Uh! Maybe because of the first impression that made her upset, so Graciella also planted emotions in the man. Yep! That's all! Don't we?
