The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 42. I want to pick up Graciella.
Graciella looked straight at the glass wall of Laura's apartment. The view of the city this afternoon is quite beautiful even though the clouds are dominated by gray from cloudy clouds.
Graciella sits in a wheelchair that Laura accidentally borrowed from the hospital for her. A few days confined in the room made him miss the view outside.
Graciella held onto the glass that had felt warm from the sun. Raindrops began to appear to decorate it slowly. Smooth like needles that hit the glass in front of him.
A few hours ago Xavier was on duty. Graciella recalled the reluctant look in her eyes. How could it be, with just his gaze it made a deep mark on Graciella's memory.
"Have missed him?" laura asked with the egg soup still warm. He had prepared so much food for dinner himself and Graciella. His father also said that they would have guests. Who else if not Antony. Laura has refused Antony several times, this time she can no longer dodge.
"He? whahuh? miss who?" graciella asked to see Laura now walking towards her carrying her bowl of soup.
"Yes the master of ice cubes. Eh but now he's melting, so call him commander," Laura said.
Graciella scrunched her face while shaking her head. There was Laura's behavior. "Going just now, how can you miss? anyway, why do I miss him. He and I are nothing."
Laura smiled at her naughty smile. "It's nothing, nothing yet. There will soon be too. But, the commander, his girlfriend is sick again, why even think about work," said Laura again.
"He's a soldier. Of course he should put his duty first than anything else. I'm not her boyfriend anyway. Do not spread rumors. People who hear it instead of being happy, they must be sneering at me, remember, I'm still tied to marriage." said Graciella who slightly sipped her soup. Not expecting, although a little annoying, Laura is quite good at cooking. "Well, your cooking is good, your husband will be very grateful to have you" Graciella said.
"Well that's him! My age is enough! I also have a steady job, independent, beautiful! Smart cooking anyway, but why hasn't my soul mate appeared yet?" Laura said with a dramatic face. Graciella who from earlier heard Laura praise herself just smiled while putting on a face of disbelief. Very confident of his friend.
Just now Graciella wanted to reply to Laura's words. The bell at the door sounded. Graciella and Laura raised her eyes.
"Maybe it's your soul mate." Graciella smiled a little.
"Hah ..." Laura snorted loudly. "Surely Antony!" he said a lazy glance at the door of his apartment. Graciella just nodded with a smile.
Laura opened the apron she was using, slightly tidied her hair and used lip dye. Gracilella scrunched her face. She said she didn't like it but welcomed it by dressing her face, Graciella thought.
Laura went to her apartment door. Open it and bring up the figure with a warm smile. Laura simply greeted him with her annoyed-looking face. Antony was always welcomed by Laura.
"For you," said Antony gave a sebouquet of mixed flowers dominated by pink and white. The money is as fragrant but still smooth.
Laura picked it up, she smelled a little of the flower and then glanced at Antony, "Other times there's no need to give me flowers. Don't be so wasteful! Even though I know you have a lot of money. Better to save it!"
Antony was just a beard. After taking off her shoes and the black coat she was wearing, she immediately entered Laura's steps towards the TV room and connected to the dining room.
"Hi! Gracie!" Sapa Antony saw Graciella in the wheelchair. Graciella just gave me a smile. "How are you?"
"I'm fine" said Greciella.
"Thank you, I'd love it" said Greciella quite excited by the gift Antony gave her.
"Cup cake from La Patisserie? That's what I want! Why did you give me flowers and Gracie you gave me cup cake? Can I eat flowers?" laura was unconsciously jealous.
Antony and Graciela only frowned at the sight of Laura who suddenly exploded in annoyance just like that.
"I once gave you chocolate from Paris and you said you were on a diet so you didn't want sweet food, so I guess you wouldn't eat it" Antony said.
Laura scrunched her face. Yes, he remembers saying it. But seeing Antony give Graciella the food she wants, she feels like eating it.
"I'm not on a diet right now! Now buy me a caramel-flavored cup cake!" said Laura.
"He? Now then? La Patisserie is a long way from here" Antony said.
"Busk!" Laura looks spoiled sulking.
"Alright," said Antony resigned at the request of Laura.
"Eh! This alone, this is too much for me as well. Laura, we can share it," Graciella said. Feeling bad because Antony had to go back and forth to the cake shop.
"You also love caramel. Just buy it." Laura pushed Antony who had stopped for a moment. Laura plays her eyes, Graciella becomes convinced that this is just the subterfuge of Laura. Time for revenge.
"Oh, no! I don't want to eat caramel tonight, you eat it. You don't feel sorry for Antony, he must be tired. Antony's here, Laura's waiting for you, look she's done a lot of cooking." Greciella said it with a perfectly fluffy smile. Laura raised her eyes with her nose that was blooming, seeing that Graciella was actually laughing. Antony is confused as to why Graciella is laughing.
"really?" antony said he couldn't believe it. Laura just narrowed her eyes looking at the happy looking Anotny. Laura just frowned.
"Yes, right. Never mind Laura, just eat this" Graciella said. Laura just nodded slowly. Antony was a little relieved, he didn't need to go back and forth which took at least an hour.
Graciella immediately presented the cup cake that Antony brought. Just now that he wanted to pick it up, suddenly the sound of the bell rang again. Graciella and Laura looked at each other.
"Is that the Commander? Didn't he say he was going to go and go home the day after tomorrow?" laura said in an analysis. "Is there anything that might be missing?" Laura was trying to find the right thought. Graciella just shrugged her shoulders for a moment.
"Let me open it" Antony said.
He immediately walked towards the door of Laura's apartment. Before he opened it, the bell rang again. Laura followed Antony. Graciella slowly followed behind them.
Antony opened the door immediately. His face immediately wrinkled to see the figure that was in front of him. The man stood up with his trademark smile. Seems sly and cynical.
"I want to pick up my wife." Adrean's voice instantly made Graciella's hair stand up.
