The Gray Autumn's

The Gray Autumn's
Visage Charmant's



"Should we discuss the matter of secrets, Mr Royce?" autumn asked in a tone that made Benjamin frown. He had not been able to digest the meaning of the grey-eyed girl's question.


"You mean, Miss Hillaire?" ask the lovely guy. His face that was so calm, had made Autumn swallow her saliva. Suddenly, the girl's throat felt so dry that she found it hard to speak.


"Um .. I ...." Autumn confusion. All the series of words that had crossed his mind, now disappeared instantly and evaporated without a trace of remaining. Autumn immediately turned her body and looked back at the open ocean. He did not want to get caught up in the charm of the thirty-five year old man, which would only make his brain feel dull.


"Why are you here, Mr Royce? Shouldn't you be inside with my dad and the other guys in suits?" Autumn tried to shake off the clumsy feeling in her, which further tickled and made the gray-eyed girl feel uncomfortable.


Benjamin smiled as he muttered softly. The copper-haired brunette then followed Autumn's gaze. His eyes look strange. However, to a young girl like Autumn, that gaze looked extremely charming and extremely sexy. Ah, naw. What happened to Autumn? Why did he suddenly think so? Autumn shook her head. It should not have appeared in his mind. Moreover, he had already guessed what kind of man Benjamin Royce was.


"Are you going to stay long in Marseille? I heard, your grandfather is from here," Benjamin opened the conversation again. He also turned his gaze to the beautiful girl next to him.


"Yes, my grandfather is from here. He died and was buried in this city. My grandmother, too," said Autumn, trying to keep her in control.


"That means you have a strong bond with this city" Benjamin said, still with his seemingly calm demeanor.


Autumn laughed softly. "Eitherway. I've never had a strong bond with anything ... or anyone," the girl replied softly. His memory is now back to Leon, the man who until that moment did not contact him. Leon disappeared with no news at all.


"A strong blessing, it will only make us feel constrained and like suffocating. Sounds pretty scary. Aye, right?" I don't know what Benjamin meant at the time. Although Autumn tried to digest it, but he did not want to just guess.


"Of course, I don't understand what you're saying. I'd better get back soon. Don't let me see you here, "Autumn intends to leave from there. However, his steps suddenly came to a halt when he heard Benjamin say something to him.


"Tomorrow night there will be a festive feast on the beach near where I live. If you want, you can come over there and I'll give you access. You're gonna love it."


Autumn stunned. He looked at Benjamin. While the man looked at her with a highlight that felt so different. "You will definitely find something new there, Miss Hillaire," he said again as he walked over to Autumn. The girl looked even more misbehaved when Benjamin suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled out a pen. The man then wrote something down on the bottom of Autumn's arm, and made Autumn move a little because she was amused. However, Benjamin held his hand quite tightly.


Autumn was silent for a moment. He looked at the row of numbers on his lower arm. After that, he just passed by without saying anything more, accompanied by the charming gaze of a Benjamin Royce. The girl continued to step in and re-mixed with the other neat-looking people.


A moment later, Autumn saw Benjamin present. The man seemed to take a glass of drink offered by the waiter, then chatted with some men in suits. I don't know why because Autumn was happy when she noticed the man. Benjamin is such a charming guy. It is only natural that he has many women in his life. However, it was something very frightening for Autumn.


The long-haired girl then looked at her lower arm and looked back at the row of figures there. This is a severe temptation for Autumn, when she feels like being loyal to her lover.


"What are you doing, Elle?" darren's question suddenly startled the girl's daydream. Autumn immediately turned her head with a look of protest.


"You always surprise me!" says annoyed. He turned his face back. His gaze was again fixed on the beautiful face of Benjamin Royce, who was busy talking with other guests. The man smiled and occasionally sipped his drink. While Darren, who was standing next to the older brother, was astonished by the attitude of the girl. He brought his face closer to Autumn's shoulders and followed the beautiful-eyed girl's gaze.


"Hey, don't tell me that you're looking at Mr. Royce" Darren chirped as he made Autumn swerve sharply at him. "Bye, Elle. The man is indeed very handsome even though he is too old for you," Darren chuckled softly. Autumn did not answer. He only responded to the babbling of his sister by elbowing the young man's stomach, so Darren grimaced softly. "You are outrageous" he said, rubbing his stomach.


"You're such a bitch!" reply Autumn is upset. He then decided to leave the sister who was grimacing and occasionally smiled amusedly.


Until late afternoon, the inauguration party was over. All of the invited guests had already left, and all that was left now was Edgar and several other important managers, including Benjamin who was one of the shareholders there. They still seem to talk casually, and occasionally interrupted by laughter.


Autumn stood up while checking her phone. He wanted to go home and change his clothes. Autumn also can not stand the seven-centimeter pump shoes that she wears. It was really torturous for him. "Mom, are we gonna be here till night?" whispered Autumn who already felt unable to bear want to go home immediately.


"Of course not. We'll be home soon, until your father finishes talking to his colleagues" Arumi said calmly. That beautiful woman still looks very comfortable.


"I remember they talked throughout the show. What else are they talking about? It's boring!" lamented Autumn. He really feels bored. "Can I go home first?" whispered again. However, Autumn seemed to have guessed the answer that Arumi would give. He also did not expect much. Autumn chose to sit down and take off her shoes. It made Benjamin look over and smile at him.
