The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 56. Please don't test me like this too often.
"Why can't I smile? "Ask Graciella as if she never made a mistake. And indeed Graciella felt that way. He's not wrong, is he? he was just trying to be friendly.
Xavier frowned, but he did not say a word. Even until they reached the door of the car that was parked perfectly in front of the police station. Xavier still didn't say anything.
Graciella just put on her questionable face. Xavier helps Graciella to get up from the wheelchair. Greciella unintentionally looked towards the police station. Not far from them Daren is still looking towards Graciella and Xavier. Seeing Graciella looking at him, Daren waved a farewell sign.
Graciella just frowned. But suddenly his gaze was covered by Xavier who immediately stood blocking Graciella's view of Daren. Graciella immediately looked towards Xavier who looked visibly holding back in anger. So sour.
"Well," Xavier's orders are trying to keep speaking in a kind tone to Graciella. But it still sounds cold.
"Well," said Graciella, who would not obey Xavier's orders. Graciella goes straight up aided by Xavier. Xavier quickly closed the car door. As he looked towards Daren, the man only flashed a confident smile. Xavier played his jaw but his gaze was so sharp that he immediately entered from the door of the other side of his car.
Their car immediately walked away from the place. Graciella glanced at the man who was now sitting beside her in a perfect manner. He was so stern and his gaze looked so serious. The hand he placed on his thighs looked clenched. It seemed like he was regulating or tempering his emotions.
"Where's Stevan?" The sound was so flat.
"There's in that office. But she was in a meeting, so I decided to wait there" Graciella said.
"Why did you suddenly leave?"
"Stevan has a case. So he and I had a little discussion about it. All of a sudden she could solve her case and take me to the office because she said you asked her to take care of me and she didn't want to leave me alone at home" Graciella replied.
"Then the guy?" Xavier finally glanced towards Graciella.
"Daren?" ask Graciella to make sure. Xavier nodded, "I don't know him. He was suddenly there and said he was amazed by my analysis and asked me to work for him. That's all."
Xavier heard him clench his hand again. It feels so weird. It really makes it hot and burning from the inside. Xavier had never felt her emotions so flaring up just because of a woman.
Xavier was really trying to control himself. He repeatedly breathed deeply. Graciella just noticed that.
For Graciella, she doesn't understand why Xavier should be mad at her. He thinks he did absolutely nothing wrong. Adrean is his first girlfriend and love and the man never shows he is jealous. After the wedding, Adrean is even more indifferent and if he wants to be angry, he will be angry with whatever Graciella does. So Graciella didn't know what to do to appease the jealous man Xavier was feeling right now.
"Why are you ….?" Graciella just wanted to ask why Xavier was angry with her. But the man immediately cut off his conversation.
"Don't I tell you not to trust strangers too quickly?" Xavier couldn't stand it either. She didn't know if Graciella pretended not to know that she was burning with jealous flames or that she didn't understand what Xavier was feeling right now.
Getting a sudden burst of emotion from Xavier made Graciella frown her forehead. "I have done nothing, and I have rejected it, he has forced it that way."
"Other times if there's a stranger talking to you. Better just shut up, no need to answer."
"It won't be rude."
"Gracyella! follow my orders!" said Xavier who felt why Graciella was so stubborn. Can't she say 'Yes' or 'fine.'
Graciella frowned. He wasn't Xavier's subordinate who had to keep up with Xavier's words after all, he and Xavier had nothing to do with it, instead of acting like this was Adrean?
Xavier slowly came to his senses with what he was doing. All of a sudden he remembered Stevan saying last night that Graciella had gone through a lot of suffering while with Adrean and now Xavier was angry with him. Greciella must have thought Xavier had the same traits as Adrean. But holding back emotions when jealous is really excruciating.
"I'm sorry ..." Xavier's voice sounded in a slightly vibrating low tone.
Graciella heard it slightly snapped in surprise. Never in his life has an angry man apologized to him. For at least three years with Adrean, the man never apologized to Graciella. Graciella subconsciously looked towards Xavier. "Only, I don't like seeing you close to other men. That was excruciating. But next time I'll promise to be more in control. I will not limit you. I'm gonna believe you but I'm asking you not to test me too often like that."
Graciella became speechless at Xavier's words. He never got the words that even though it sounded flat and dreadful. But it really made her feelings sweet. Moreover, Graciella never expected the words could slide from Xavier's lips. A man who is quite stiff and also dominant. He must have put a lot of pressure on his ego to say that. Now it was Graciella who felt guilty for being insensitive to Xavier's feelings.
"Eh, well," said Greciella so confused what to say.
Xavier smiled flatly. He then looked back to the front. Graciella bit her lip. What should he do to dispel the sudden awkwardness created.
"Eh? where are we going?" this question first appeared in his brain.
"Enterprise to military headquarters. I still have some work to do. Not much, it might only take half to an hour. You can wait a minute." Xavier replied back with his tone flat.
"Why do you know I'm there? then why did you suddenly come?"
"In addition to Stevan, I asked my subordinates to take care of you, once I knew he was taking you out, I immediately went to look for you. I'm just afraid that something will happen to you" said Xavier who again made Graciella speechless. Wonderful, why did Graciella become difficult to talk when dealing with Xavier?
Their car that drove fast enough finally arrived in front of the military headquarters. The car paused for an entrance check. But in front of them a black sedan was also being checked.
"What's wrong?" asked Xavier who felt the examination in front of them was longer.
"It looks like the car in front is not allowed to enter" said one of Xavier's subordinates. Fredy deliberately not brought him to replace his duties for a moment.
"Call one of the guards and ask who's coming?" Xavier.
"Ready Commander!" said Xavier's subordinate who went straight out from there.
Graciella just looked ahead. He then caught the figure that had just come out of the car. His face seemed shocked and panicked!
