Chapter 19: Attracted to me
"Umm... You were the one who moved a bit toward me and my lips pressed on your skin," Amelie said in a low enough voice that the driver wouldn’t listen to it. She then turned her head away, looking out of the window, biting her lip in anticipation.
Gabriel gazed at her, tilting his head on the headrest, scrutinizing her. ’Why she can’t simply say the truth? Did she feel something?’ he thought. ’Why did I never encounter her before? I explored many lands in these twelve years, only to ignore that place.’
As the driver pulled in front of a fancy restaurant, Gabriel and Amelie made their way inside. They had a hearty lunch meal. She wanted to pay for the bills, but the lack of money with her made her embarassed too.
"You can treat me once you start getting paid," Gabriel said, again showing to her how he read her thoughts. He extended his hand for her and she subtly grabbed it before walking out.
Upon arriving home, Amelie thanked Gabriel for the dresses and the meal. "When am I supposed to start working for you?" she asked curiously.
"Whenever you are ready," Gabriel replied. "Talk to Karmen once. He will explain everything to you."
"Sure. Thank you," Amelie said.
He picked up a glass of water for her, which the servant brought on a tray and forwarded it to Amelie. She accepted and sipped the water slowly.
"My Lord, you’ve returned. Miss Moore is here with Miss Amelie’s reports," Albus informed him. Amelie was quick to put the glass on the tray.
