NOT THE USUAL CINDERELLA (Season 2)

WANT TO BE YOUR MAN

Holy hooch! I must be dreaming! Was I wrong with my hearing? Mr. Erich just mentioned my name so gently. And he just said his objection was if I was near another man? Am I starting to hallucinate?

Cleosa said inwardly with her body riveted, eyes widened looking towards Erich. And the proximity of the two faces made Cleosa's heartbeat louder, until her own ears could hear the thumping sound in her heart.

From the harshness of her heart beating so hard at the moment, Cleosa felt that Erich might also be able to listen to that gurgle. In fact, with the closeness of their current body, Cleosa could feel Erich's chest also racing at this time, just like Cleosa was experiencing.

Is that just my feeling? I feel that right now, Mr. Erich's heart is pounding like mine. Did mister Erich actually feel the same feeling as me? Can I expect such a thing from such a great master Erich? A handsome man who always manages to make my heart beat hard.

Cleosa said in her heart involuntarily staying in the same position as before, even unconsciously, Erich's face just looked a little rattled making the distance between their faces eroded even more.

“Will Miss Cleosa stay in a position like this until the working hours are over?” With a tone of voice sounding flat, Erich said his words with eyes staring deeply at Cleosa's face.

Erich's next words instantly awakened Cleosa from her daydream and made Cleosa's body unconsciously jump, away from Erich who had deliberately released her clasps of hands quickly so that Cleosa could break away from her, and turned his body so that he turned his back on the file rack and faced Erich.

Ah, looks like it's just my wishful thinking. Reach yourself Cleosa! Don't dream too much!

Cleosa cussed at herself inwardly while slightly distancing herself from Erich who was looking at her with a gaze that was so difficult for Cleosa to interpret.

"Ma. sorry Mr. Erich..." Nervously Cleosa said with a slight bow of her head, hoping that Erich would not be able to see how red Cleosa's face was at the moment.

"No problem Miss." With a face without a smile, Erich actually stepped forward. Making involuntarily, Cleosa instantly moved her legs, to walk backwards.

But just a step back, Cleosa had to stop because her body had already hit the file rack behind her.

While Erich, actually stepped forward, leaving only a distance of no more than 5 cm from Cleosa's body which immediately closed his eyes with his head bowed, and his two hands clasping each other were in front of his chest.

Cleosa could only take a deep breath once she realized that her body was currently stuck between the file rack and Erich's body, which was wearing a full black suit, typical of the Gracetian royal bodyguards. With pieces of clothing that look so accentuate the strapping and athletic sides of Erich's body that clearly looks diligent in doing physical exercise. Make him have the perfect body shape as a man.

Regardless of Cleosa being squeezed between her body and the file rack, Erich stretched out his hand and picked up the white box on the shelf with code AB 5.1 containing the letter that Alvero had requested.

I could really die standing if Mr. Erich continued to act like this. It seems that after today I have to be smart to stay away and avoid Mr. Erich if I don't want to do the embarrassing thing again like today. Besides, I also do not want to be a big woman and hope in the words of Mr. Erich who all the while thinking that Mr. Erich has a little liking for me. It's best that from now on I learn to forget my feelings of love for Mr. Erich.

Cleosa said inwardly while biting her lower lip slightly hard, causing a slight pain. It was as if with his actions he could suppress his joy towards Erich.

Cleosa slightly breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that after taking the white box, and grabbing the letter that was inside, Erich instantly distanced his body from Cleosa. After that Erich quickly returned the white box back to its original place.

"Thank you for your help today." Erich said as he looked towards Cleosa who inevitably ended up raising her head, if you do not want to be considered as a person who is not polite because he does not appreciate people who invite him to talk because he does not want to look at the face of the person who invites him to talk.

"Eh... Mr. Erich.... Glad to help." Nervous and unable to hide her cheeks filled with a red tinge, Cleosa said as she tried to bravely stare at Erich, with her eyes looking so insecure.

A scene so inversely proportional to see how Erich whose face still looks flat, like someone who has no emotions. And as if not assuming what happened before is important.

"Then, excuse me Miss. I must immediately hand this letter to his highness Alvero." Cleosa immediately nodded her head without being able to put out her words, upon hearing Erich's words to her.

Erich's calm demeanor and flat face were enough for Cleosa to show her that Erich did not have the slightest feeling of love for her.

"Ah, yes Miss Cleosa...." Erich who had almost turned his body, brought himself closer to Cleosa who was still still glued in place.

"Miss..." Erich's sudden movements had brought his lips closer to Cleosa's ears with a slight bend of his body, successfully making Cleosa's heart which had begun to calm down, restless.

Even Cleosa involuntarily held her breath firmly as the warm-feeling air sweep from Erich's nose greeted her tie-neck neck.

"I'm serious about what I said. I will not allow any other men to be near Miss, let alone touch Miss Cleosa. I want to be the only man who deserves to be near Miss and always protect Miss, my whole life. Being the only male belonging to Miss Cleosa. Please Miss take the time to think about and answer my intentions and feelings." Erich whispered softly into Cleosa's ears before finally moving swiftly walking towards the exit, leaving Cleosa with her lips slightly opened and her eyes bulging from being so shocked by what Erich had said to her just now.

Which to Cleosa, was like a dream in broad daylight. And if only it was a dream, it felt like Cleosa was willing to not wake up from that dream for a long time.
