Chapter 222
It was at a café located in a place that could confirm the high-rise building of the state security bureau by sight. There was a girl with her blonde hair put in side-tail――Emily looking absentminded inside.
Her hand kept holding the cup of steamy coffee latte in front of her, however, she showed no sign of drinking it. She was only staring blankly at the rising steam.
Other than emotion of sadness and pain, her side profile also contained various other things. There were people who were mysteriously charmed with that. In the first place Emily was a beautiful girl, yet right now she felt like a "woman" rather than a girl of her age. Surely that was because the experience she had gone through these few days was an unusual experience.
The young men and male employees inside the café kept sending glances at the beautiful girl that was sitting alone in melancholy. That was the proof of the charm Emily was emitting.
Her long and slender legs wrapped in black stocking were crossed. Finally a young man whose gaze was attracted to that resolved himself and stood up. It appeared that he would call out to Emily.
But, right after the young man took a step forward, his foot stopped still.
That was because Emily suddenly lifted her face. It seemed that was because she noticed the young man's secret intention. Her reaction looked as though she was called by someone. Yet, he couldn't hear anything that called the girl's name other than the sound of cars' engine.
The young man tilted his head in wonder of what happened, even so he was about to step forward again――
「Ah, Kousuke! Over here!」
