Chapter 71: Advantage of you
"You know!?" Amelie exclaimed in shock. "How? You weren’t even present in the annual gala."
"Of course, but any news related to the princes spread like a wildfire. The news was published today in the morning newspaper," Denzel said as he lifted the glass of water to his mouth.
"That’s why everyone was looking at me with such gazes," Amelie murmured. She looked around the cafeteria and saw many eyes were on her as if they were gossiping about her affair with Gabriel.
"You should stay relaxed," Denzel opined, "and eat your food." He pointed at the plate, which wasn’t even half-emptied.
Amelie resumed eating while a lot of things kept going in her mind. As they finished eating, Amelie went back to her cabinet while Denzel went outside for a meeting.
"I wonder if the news may break about pregnancy," she murmured. ’It is not like I’m afraid of standing up for it, but it will be a real mess. I ran away from my pack a week ago and suddenly I accepted Gabriel’s proposal. Didn’t it all happen too fast? Does feelings shift so quickly?’ she thought, her hands rested over the desk.
"What are you lost?" Gabriel whispered in her ear, who stood right behind her, making it tough for her to move.
She tilted her head over her shoulder and found his softened gaze over her. It appeared as if he was silently admiring her.
"Nowhere," Amelie replied.
