The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 58. That guy!
Xavier looked at Devina again. Looked at him with a sad look. But he could not give even the slightest bit of hope to Devina. He could not marry that woman.
“Sorry but I can't,” said Xavier who immediately opened his car door and immediately boarded. Devina wanted to block Xavier's departure but she instead saw the silhouette of the woman in the car. Devina instantly raised her eyes in anger. That must be the woman.
“Xavier! You'll regret making me like this! I swear you won't be able to unite with him! if you refuse to marry me then I will make you unable to get your love as well! Catch that!” Devina blurted with all her strength while banging the body of the car.
“Retreat, we pass from behind only," said Xavier. Graciella looked at Devina who was hitting the car. Was he that sad as well? begging for an impossible love? nay! Graciella might be more pathetic. He even held Adrean's leg just so the man wouldn't leave him. Like a piece of trash, Adrean just left it. Crazy one! How sad and stupid he used to be.
“What are you thinking?" reprimand Xavier who saw Graciella stunned.
“Oh, it's okay,” replied Graciella still with an uncomfortable feeling. He really feels guilty. How could he possibly make Devina like that because of her presence. Devina had nothing wrong.
Is this karma? Adrean is a Devina family. She made Graciella so, and her own plate became the feel that Graciella felt.
“Thinking Devina?” Xavier could always read Graciella's mind.
Graciella nodded slowly. “I feel like a bad guy. She loves you so much, she looks so frustrated at failing to sprout with you.”
“We can't force to love someone. She would suffer more if I forced myself to get engaged or marry her. Already, no need to think about.”
Graciella pursed her lips. How not to think about it?
“Please wait in the car. After this we will have lunch. After that we'll pick up Laura so you don't get lonely at home. Tonight I have to go back to headquarters, probably not to return until tomorrow,” Xavier told me everything he had arranged.
“Yes, fine,” dutiful Graciella.
As long as Xavier waited for work he could only be stunned. Is it true what he is doing now?
−−***−−
Graciella walked slowly into the seafood restaurant. He wanted to eat crab corn soup and asked Xavier to drive him to a restaurant on the beach. Since Xavier had enough time, he accepted it.
“The food here is delicious. The crab is always fresh because it is directly bought and cooked. This place is very famous, when I was in college, I like to save up just to be able to eat here on the first date of every month. The owner gives fifty percent discount to the students if they want to eat on the one and fifteen dates. Now that I've worked, I rarely eat here," said Graciella spirit. For so long he had not eaten seafood.
Xavier nodded slightly raising the corner of his lips revealing his stingy smile. But she likes to hear Graciella babbling about her. Rarely, maybe even this time.
“Let's sit here, the view is best" Graciella said. Again Xavier simply answered with a nod.
“Nona, have not seen you for a long time, crab corn soup with a lot of soy sauce, also sauteed shrimp oyster sauce? Right?” ask the owner of the place with a smile. Recognize his old customers.
“Really! But this time add baby kailan stir fry and steam grouper fish yes," said Graciella who immediately ordered.
“How about you Mr?” ask the owner to Xavier.
“I think that's enough," said Xavier.
“Alright, please be patient, the lemilik” gives a little greeting before he leaves from there. Graciella simply replied to him with a nod and a smile. He then circulated his eyes looking at the entirety of the restaurant.
“Then this place was very small. But with persistence, this place became as wide as it is now.” Graciella still rolled her eyes.
“This place is quite crowded," said Xavier sober.
“Yes, the food is good and the price is quite cheap. Even people from far away many come here," said Graciella smiling happily. So much pressure in his life that he forgets to enjoy what he likes. Now, he's out of work so he can think of just eating here.
“Alright I'll try it,” Xavier said pouring warm tea into a small glass then putting it in front of Graciella. He did it for himself too.
“Ya.”
“Welcome, Big boss! Please, your seat is ready,” the voice of the owner of the restaurant was echoed big enough to make the attention of Graciella and Xavier lead to the origin of the sound.
Graciella was immediately shocked to see who the big Boss meant. He recognized the old man. He was an acquaintance of Adrean. The man who made Graciella had to limp in because he ran away from her. If she saw Graciella, she could have approached Graciella, sued her for running away from the fat man, she would have complained to Adrean as well.
Graciella panicked once again. He was confused as to how to keep the old man from seeing her. Graciella wanted to cover her face with the menu book, but the menu book had already been taken by the owner. Wanted to cover his face with a bag but he forgot he didn't have a bag. How'this?
“What's up?” xavier asked to see the huffiness of the angry Graciella. Xavier tilted his body slightly towards Graciella.
Graciella glanced back at the fat man, as feeling watched by the man immediately turned her gaze towards Graciella. Graciella who saw it immediately held the suit used by Xavier and unconsciously pulled Xavier's suit closer to cover her face until Xavier's body was interested.
Xavier who from earlier noticed Graciella's movements only frowned. Especially now that Graciella is hiding behind her suit. Made Gracilla's face almost stick to her chest.
Graciella re-enlarge her eyes. He just realized what he was doing. How could he pull Xavier's body closer towards him. Graciella can smell the body of Xavier. Gradually Graciella glanced upwards with her face up looking at Xavier who was looking down at Graciella. Graciella grinning the horse looking at Xavier.
“What's up?” ask Xavier slowly. Looking at Graciella's anxious face, but why from here looks so cute, Xavier thought.
