The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 223. The First Lady wants to meet you.
Graciella and Xavier have just started their quiet breakfast together with Lilian and Monica.
All was silent when suddenly the bell of Xavier's residence sounded again. Graciella who was slightly traumatized by it instantly frowned. The coup event a week ago he can still feel the tension until now.
Serin who was standing not far from there immediately opened the door. He seemed to be receiving reports from the person outside that door. Before long he walked back to the dining room.
"Report Commander," Serin said. His body is strong for a woman's size.
"Yes?" xavier asked, frowning his forehead. If anything, Arnold would have said it.
"Outside the emissary from the First Lady, Adelia Chang, the Envoy conveyed the message that the First Lady wanted to meet with the Madam, the Commander," Serin reported again.
Graciella heard it frowned. Everyone who was there immediately looked at Graciella.
"Why does he want to see me?" ask Graciella.
"She just wants to talk to you. Madam, He is waiting for you at two noon at the place He will determine," explained Serin again in accordance with what the emissary from Adelia said.
Graciella looked towards Xavier. "How's it?"
"I'll take you, ", ' replied Xavier briefly.
"Alright, tell the messenger I'll come at two" Graciella replied. Knowing those words was proof of Xavier's approval.

Graciella is brought in through the side aisles of the park from a restaurant located slightly up towards the high ground. As it entered deeper finally from the opposite direction a graceful woman walked over.
Graciella immediately recognized the charismatic and motherly figure. More beautiful when viewed directly than from television.
"Mrs Qing, sorry to ask you to come suddenly like this," greeted Adelia with a smile and her reserved voice.
"Not what First Lady. I was shocked and saddened because the First Lady wanted to talk to me" Graciella replied. Truly a woman who knows how to put down her class.
Adelia smiled. His eyes rolled on the standing figure no four steps behind Greciella. Graciella saw that and for a moment saw her husband and then returned to Adelia.
"He is my husband" Graciella introduced.
"Oh, General Xavier Qing. I'm sorry, I should have guessed it. But I was just afraid to make a mistake" Adelia said again with a soft voice but without a seductive impression.
"No problem, First Lady," Graciella said again. Know that this man is difficult to make a sound, especially with other women.
"But, maybe my request is a little excessive and I ask, General Qing, may I speak alone with your wife? It's not that I don't appreciate you, but, it's just a woman-to-woman chat" Adelia said.
Graciella stared at her husband. "No problem This country. I just brought my wife here. No need to hang on." Xavier answered her in a stiff tone as if he had just reported the situation there to his superior.
"All right." A smile seemed so beautiful adorning the face of Adelia who looked relieved. So beautiful, Graciella feels inferior now. "Let's have some tea."
The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet. The restaurant was filled with them. The road to this place if without a special sign will be asked to turn.
Graciella sat slightly tensely in front of Adelia. The waiter immediately poured the vanilla-flavored tea into the porcelain cup that was in front of them.
"Miss Qing, what do you want to drink? The tea here is very fragrant, you should try it," Adelia bargained again with her smile. The waiter accidentally waits for an order from Graciella who hasn't ordered anything yet.
"White water only" replied Graciella.
"really? Don't want to try anything else?" Answer Adelia.
"No, my husband forbade. Tea is not good for mothers who are pregnant," said Greciella.
"really? So then? Whoa, Congratulations! I'm so jealous of you. Unexpectedly the quiet General Qing was very considerate," Adelia said with a delighted expression.
"Yes. She was a little more protective when I put it this way" Graciella said, feeling comfortable talking to the woman in front of her.
"Is that so? I think I need to get pregnant fast so Antony can do it too" Adelia said. There was a decrease in the tone of voice that occurred making Graciella slightly frown.
"Mother Country …."
"Call me Adelia. The call - um, too much," Adelia said again.
"Eh? May I know what purpose you met me for?" ask Greciella. Of course it's not just because Adelia needs a friend to have tea with, is it? They had only met in person now.
Adelia bit her lips while stirring her unsweetened tea plan. Graciella noticed that, something stuck in Adelia's mind right now.
"Please don't judge me by what I want to say" said Adelia directly who made Graciella frown.
"About what?" Graciella became curious.
"About your best friend, Laura." Adelia looked at Graciella with a sad look straight at Graciella's eyes. Graciella heard it instantly frowned and pulled herself back.
"Eh? What's wrong with her?"
"I know, Laura is your best friend. I happen to hear you're the best female investigator in the country. Even my husband, Antony." Adelia's voice sounded slightly trembling calling out Antony's name. Graciella caught her pain. "He hired you to solve Mr. Robert's case, didn't he? So I'm …."
"What do you want?" Ask Graciella. She should know clearly what Adelia wants. Does she want Graciella to help her get Laura out of her and Antony's life? Isn't that what all wives who know their husbands used to love other women? Of course she wants her husband to no longer have any relationship with the woman?
"I want you to investigate and find out where Laura really is." Adelia looked at Graciella with hope.
Graciella instantly frowned her two eyebrows. "Find Laura? What's for?" Ask Greciella again. I don't want to be trapped a second time.
"It's my Aib and my husband, and it's not like you know Laura was supposed to marry Antony first. But, because Laura's gone. She should marry me. Of course, all that is compulsion. Because of that, Antony honestly can't forget Laura and I think her happiness is only in that woman. Therefore, Miss Graciella, can you find out where Laura is. I want him to know that my husband loves him very much and I want them to be happy. Maybe after I don't shake again, I can hand it over completely" Adelia said with slowly teary eyes. His exuberant voice was slowly heavy and trembling as well.
