The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 65. She's with me!
Graciella waited in disarray. But finally the clock showed at three in the morning. Graciella slowly shifted her legs up to the cold floor. With a sneak he walked towards Laura's bag. She knew Laura always had her anti-allergic drugs with her. Anti-allergy medications have a drowsy effect. Although it will have less effect but after not sleeping all night, it must make the subordinates of Xavier will be sleepy. Graciella also took some of Laura's money. He left a note apologizing and he will change this money soon.
Graciella slowly walked out. She was not too afraid that Laura would wake up because the woman, if she had slept, would be very hard to wake. That was evident when he used to be on guard with Laura. Graciella goes to the kitchen and makes warm milk. Not to forget he put the drug into the milk, he also added a little sweetener so that the bitter taste is disguised. Feeling enough Graciella brought the milk straight to the guards' quarters.
Graciella opened the door. Saw two guards standing guard at the post near the entrance gate. Saw Graciella coming towards them. The guard was a little shocked, even taking the time to look at the clock. Why did Graciella bring them drinks so early in the morning?
“Are you tired?” ask Graciella.
“No Miss, it's our duty,” said one of the guards. Trying to be friendly but still the firm voice was heard.
“I woke up and couldn't sleep anymore. So make the milk warm and remember you guys. So I made this drink for you. Thank you for keeping us here,” said Graciella kindly. The two guards looked at each other. It's impossible to resist Graciella's good intentions.
“Thank you Miss,” said one of the guards took two glasses of warm milk which is quite a lot. Intentionally so that the taste of the drug is not felt.
“Sama-sama, don't hesitate. I will go back in, once again thank you for taking care of us,” said Graciella as if so proud.
“Sama-sama Miss,” said the Guard. Graciella turned around and slowly headed towards the house back. Before entering the house, Graciella glanced at the guard who had drunk the warm milk. Just wait another hour or so, then most likely they are already very sleepy.
Graciella waited anxiously in her living room. Did this work? There are some people who are not affected by the effects of allergy medications. But, hopefully it works, because if it doesn't. Graciella had to think of something else.
Graciella walked to her front door. Peek outside the guard post. Seeing one of them already leaned back withstanding the drowsiness and the other seemed to have entered into the break room. It seems like the medicine really works.
Graciella waited a few more minutes and went back to monitoring. The man who had been holding back the drowsiness was silent while covering his face. Looks like he's asleep. Graciella looked around once more, making sure everything was safe. Graciella walked out. He just used his sandal.
Graciella walked slowly closer to the post. He must make sure the guard is sound. Inside too a glance he saw the other guards already lying motionless. Feeling sure Graciella immediately took the key hanging on the wall of the post. After getting it Graciella immediately opened the small door that was beside her gate.
“Nona?” reprimand one of the housing's main gatekeepers. A woman who only wore a nightgown covered by a long sleeping coat also slippers walked out this early. Surely suspicious. Graciella who had walked out just like that was immediately shocked by the scolding of the umata gatekeeper.
“Eh? yes?” asked Graciella who was a little nervous because the guard was approaching her.
“What do you want to do so early? which house are you from?” ask the guard. He knew almost all of the residents of this housing estate. And on average, they are all respected people or important people. So seeing a woman walking without using a car is a little strange.
“Oh, I .. uh, I just want to take a little walk, look for morning air,” said Graciella bit her tongue and confused what to answer. If truth be told, this guard will return him to Xavier's house. Although Graciella knew, the guard must have been suspicious because anyone might go for a walk early in the morning like this and only wear clothes like this.
“How is your home number? I'll confirm it,” said the Guard wanted to return to his post.
“Eh, no!” said Graciella who instantly made the guard wrinkle her face. Suspicious of Graciella. Graciella rolled her eyes, confused as to what to say, what to do? He could not reason to run away from home. He'll definitely be detained here. “You can check me. I don't hurt anyone, nor do I steal. I only have money just in case.” said Graciella. The guard nodded. He must check on anyone who feels suspicious.
“He was with me, I've been waiting for you for a long time,” the voice appeared not far from Graciella. His eyes grew bigger when he saw the man approaching him. Adrean threw away his cigarette and walked up to Graciella he handed her an identification tag which was directly checked by the guard. The guard nodded in understanding.
“Aready? We go now?” said Adrean embracing Graciella who could only wrinkle her face. Why is Adrean here?
“Ya,” Graciella said in a down tone. Now he's out. There will be no chance of leaving. Adrean takes Graciella to his car not far from there. Adrean opens the door for Graciella who only frowns her forehead. Just this time Adrean opened the car door for Graciella.
"Get in, he can't wait to meet you,” Adrean said before he got into his car. Graciella bit her lip. Looking towards the guards who were still watching them. This is his last chance. Forward or refuse to leave. Graciella clasped her hands tightly. And he quickly got into the car. Adrean raised one corner of his lips and drove out his car.
“How did you know I was here?” graciella asked, looking at Adrean who was silent. Not as usual.
“From the first day I knew you were there,” replied Adrean soberly. There was no angry tone or emotion Graciella used to hear. Lately Adrean rarely uses it when talking to Graciella even though Graciella is still not used to it.
