The Love Trap of the Ruler.
CHAPTERS 119.
“I'm done!” said Graciella stood up quickly and closed the laptop in front of him when only fifteen minutes he watched the interrogation tape again, even though the recording was still not finished. He just couldn't sit any longer next to this guy. The feeling of tightness that appears getting worse. He might have fainted there.
“The recording is not finished yet,” Xavier said staring at Graciella who hastily stuffed her laptop into her bag. Graciella glanced towards the man whose shady looking face was staring at her. Uh! Why do we have to look at it like that?
“Eh, I have business. I go first!” said Graciella immediately left Xavier who only frowned. Why did you suddenly just leave?
Graciella took a deep breath as she opened the door. It felt like he had just slipped off a tight bridle. Graciella immediately walked outwards, her eyes glancing towards Xavier who was still sitting in their place while glancing at him. Graciella hugged her laptop bag and immediately walked over.
Graciella rubbed her nose. The woody smell from Xavier's body was as if it was still following him. He could kiss her even though he had left the man. Graciella shook her head. Why did he keep thinking about that guy?
Graciella suddenly stopped because her brain was saying something she herself was shocked at. Is it possible that he is interested in a man like Xavier? Graciella raised her eyes perfectly. Nah! Can't! Why you should like a married man! He used to hate all the women who were close to Adrean. Of course now she did not want to be that kind of woman. Nah! He thought as he stood still among the people and shook his head while closing his eyes, but instead Xavier's face was reflected in his mind. Graciella quickly opened her eyes again, this time trying to resuscitate herself while patting her two cheeks loudly. He can't be like this. How could he like a married man like Xavier? His behavior certainly made some people seem to notice him.
Suddenly the rain fell without warning and immediately hardened and immediately made a panic atmosphere. So is Graciella. He did not carry an umbrella and there was a laptop he had to save. Not because the laptop is expensive, but the data in it is important.
However, the rain that had been very heavy and began to hit Graciella's body suddenly disappeared with the shade of something that surrounded Graciella's body. Graciella was certainly confused and immediately looked towards the next door. Raising his eyes saw who was standing right beside him.
“If it rains soon shelter, not just silence like this,” said Xavier who shaded Graciella's body with his suit.
Graciella could only remain silent, what more was the face of this man now getting closer to her. The smell of Woody that he had tried to get rid of from the surroundings was now getting stronger and more powerfully invoking his sense of smell.
“Eh, I ..”
“Later just reasoned. It's getting busier,” said Xavier who started walking to take Graciella to the edge of the courtyard of a store so that she could shelter.
Graciella immediately glanced at the man who was wagging his suit that was already damp due to the rain. Graciella immediately threw away her gaze. Why did this man appear again nearby?
The real Xavier follows Graciella, noticing all the female gestures she finds funny, how the woman can act like that in the middle of the road and patting her own face. In addition, he did not take shelter quickly. The rain that came was so heavy. Therefore Xavier took the initiative to immediately protect this woman. It rains in the autumn, it feels cooler than usual.
“Thank you,” said Graciella in a low tone. Xavier saved her from the rain.
“Why are you even here again?” ask Graciella.
“Did you forget? I told Daniel that I would take you home,” Xavier said without glancing at Graciella. Graciella who saw Xavier's behavior that seemed indifferent to Graciella. Graciella just moved her lips. Foolish as hell, he thought Xavier was following him probably because of something, but it seemed like he was indeed just the type of man in charge and always kept up with what he had said.
Graciella just nodded slowly trying to convince herself that the attention from Xavier was nothing.
Xavier who finally looked towards Graciella again frowned, why did this woman even nod so?
Graciella saw the rain falling so fast. Very fast to make a puddle in the streets. Not to mention the increasingly piercing air, making the skin pores increasingly shrinking, making it rough. Graciella looked towards the trees on the other side of the street. It has yellowed even some are bald because the leaves that have fallen to the ground. It will soon be winter. The most torturous season for Graciella as long as she's in the country.
Graciella hugged herself. Dissolved with the atmosphere of rain that makes everything sad. Her mottling and her soothing voice made Graciella's mind fly away from nowhere. Sometimes reminiscing about his old life, but sometimes imagining things that when he realized, he could no longer remember why he could think about it.
“You drink warm chocolate?” xavier asked suddenly because he saw Graciella looked cold even though she had used a thick sweater.
“Eh? What?” asked Graciella who had not heard clearly the words from Xavier.
“Want to drink warm chocolate, it's a little cold here. In the cafe it looks warmer,” said Xavier again looking at the small face of a woman who is no higher than his shoulder.
Graciella stared at the face she had originally met so hard now looked so soft. Unfortunately, it made Graciella even more unable to turn her face away from Xavier's face. Graciella just nodded slowly.
Xavier and Graciella were already willing to walk, but Graciella's attention suddenly fell towards a 3 or 4-year-old little girl standing close to her shivering hugging herself. She just wears her little dress. His brown hair was limp because it was wet, some of his clothes also looked wet.
Without a second thought, Graciella opened her sweater. Xavier frowned. Graciella looked cold, but she just undressed.
“Hey, little princes, where is your mommy?” graciella asked as she covered the shivering little body with her sweater. The little girl with brown eyes looked shocked but could not resist Graciella's actions. Looking at Graciella's actions, Xavier just stared at her in silence. There was a strange feeling he felt.
