Chapter 22 LavCo

Rocco followed Lavia from behind and pulled her hand.

"If I say I can't then that means you can't leave, okay?" rocco said with a cold look.

Lavia looked towards Rocco who was now looking at her sharply.

"Why did you ban me?" ask Lavia.

"Your status is my fiancee now and you carry my good name. You know how many out there want me to fall? Then you're the easy target of the object" Rocco replied.

"You think I'm a stupid woman who can't take care of herself? You don't know me yet, Rocco" Lavia said.

"If you want to be my wife then you have to be a very obedient woman, Lavia," Rocco said and took Lavia's hand into the room.

"I thought you were going to try hard to reject me, but you still want to manage me" said Lavia, who sat back on the sofa.

Rocco returned to his seat and resumed his work a little more.

Lavia looked towards the handsome man who was going to be her husband in a few days.

Lavia was still thinking what kind of feeling she was feeling to Rocco.

"Why are you so cold to me now? When we first met you were very friendly" Lavia said those words again.

"You lied to me and trapped me into this complicated matter" Rocco replied with eyes still focused on his work.

"We can be friends again" Lavia said.

Rocco didn't answer.

"When you kissed me, did you feel anything?" ask Lavia again.

"No," Rocco replied honestly.

Lavia then shut up and asked no more. He turned back and closed his eyes because he was sleepy.

Then Rocco looked towards Lavia who was silent on the sofa.

Half an hour later, Rocco had finished his work. He tidied up the documents scattered on the table.

"Mmmm ... No ... Don't do that ... No ..." Lavia was delirious in her sleep and her cold sweat started to come out.

Rocco who heard this approached Lavia.

The man looked at Lavia whose face looked scared of something and her body retreated like some time ago when Lavia was also in a sleeping state.

Rocco held his hand without waking him up and rubbed it slowly.

Lavia held onto Rocco's hand tightly and nodded.

After that, he did not speak anymore and resumed his sleep.

Rocco then rubbed Lavia's sweaty forehead with a tissue using her left hand.

Rocco took Lavia's hand off slowly and then returned to his desk.

Ten minutes later, Rocco had finished cleaning everything up and started waking Lavia up.

"Wake up" Rocco whispered in Lavia's ear so that she would not be surprised.

Lavia had not yet woken up and Rocco finally rubbed his red cheeks.

And that finally made Lavia wake up.

His eyes were still digesting what was in front of him and where he was now.

"Where am I? And what time is it?" lavia asked with a hoarse voice.

"It's in my office and it's 8 p.m., '" Rocco replied.

Lavia rubbed her face then sat down and stretched her stiff muscles.

Then he was silent for a moment.

"Am I delirious?" ask Lavia.

"Hmm" Rocco said and extended his hand to Lavia.

"The habit is hard to lose. Hopefully you will not be disturbed when we are married later" said Lavia who then welcomed Rocco's hand and moved from the sofa.

Lavia tidied her hair by nudging it with her finger.

Then they came out of Rocco's office.

*

Along the way Lavia looked towards Rocco and looked at his handsome face nonstop.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask for?" ask Rocco.

"You hate me?" ask Lavia.

Then Lavia remained silent and looked at Rocco's face.

Rocco doesn't care much about that either.

Shortly after, they arrived at a restaurant.

Lavia got off and waited for Rocco to get out of his car.

After that Lavia grabbed Rocco's arm first.

The atmosphere of the restaurant looked quite crowded and it was a restaurant frequented by Rocco.

"ROCCO!!" call someone from the corner of the restaurant.

Rocco and Lavia turned their heads towards the man.

"He's your friend?" ask Lavia.

"Hmm," replied Rocco and approached some of his friends sitting at the round table.

"Sit down and join us here. You must be Lavia" said one of Rocco's friends.

Lavia smiled and nodded.

"Is this a men's event? There are no women here at all" Lavia said when she saw about five men there

"Yes, we just got home from work and came straight here" replied one.

Then Lavia and Rocco sat among the five handsome men.

"Once you go to college or school or .." said Lavia.

"Lecture," replied the handsome man who was next to Rocco.

"Include yourself" Lavia said casually.

"I'm Rudy."

"I'm Vito."

"I'm Nolan."

"I'm Jasper."

"And I'm Wilner" replied the last man.

"It's nice to meet you guys" Lavia said with a beautiful smile.

Then Rocco and Lavia ordered their dinner while chatting with Rocco's friends.

Rocco only saw the interaction of Lavia and her friends who could quickly get along as if they had been friends for a long time.

"You're a lovely lady, Lavia. I should have met me before with that playboy" Jasper said.

Everyone there laughed when they heard that.

Lavia looked towards Rocco.

"You're a playboy, Honey?" ask Lavia.

"You think?" ask Rocco.

"No, you're a very nice man to me" Lavia smiled and kissed Rocco's lips in front of her friends.

Rocco looked at Lavia's eyes and looked at her fixedly.

'What game are you really playing, Lavia? I know that this is a mere charade, Rocco's inner self.

Lavia smiled and seemed to know what Rocco was thinking.

"Let's eat" said Lavia, fondly rubbing Rocco's cheek.

The men in front of them who already knew Rocco saw the unusual Rocco.

"She's crazy about me" Lavia said as they took center stage with Rocco's friend.

"Yes, I've never seen Rocco this secretly before. Do you want to keep your image in front of your future wife, Rocco?" nolan laughed softly.

Rocco did not respond too much to Nolan's words and began his dinner.

After more than an hour in the restaurant, Rocco and Lavia finally returned to the apartment.

There was no chatter in the car because it seemed like Rocco and Lavia were both thinking about something.

Lavia who usually talks a lot seems silent.

Arriving at the apartment, they enter the elevator that connects with the apartment parking basement.

Lavia seemed to be leaning against the cold wall of the elevator without looking at Rocco.

TING ...

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lavia exited the elevator without waiting for Rocco. His attitude this time seemed different from earlier when he was so attached to Rocco.
