The Love Trap of the Ruler.

Chapter 148

Graciella hurriedly walked out of the room. Helena and Ferdinand also had a little trouble chasing after Graciella because the woman was leaving just like that while quite a number of their items were still scattered on the table.

“Why hurry, Miss Graciella?"

The sound made Graciella pause for a moment. He frowned looking at Brigjend Howard who was walking towards him. Still in his haughty style, even his hands were still folded on his chest he started approaching Graciella step by step. Brigjend Howard's face seemed to be watching Graciella seriously.

Graciella certainly increasingly shows a wondering face. Why would Brigjend Howard look at him like that? As Brigjend Howard was about to approach her, Graciella's phone in her hand shook.

Graciella certainly directly stared at the screen of her phone. Again that call was from Stevan. He did ignore Stevan's call from last night. Too focused on this mission that he no longer cares about his phone.

“Halo?” answer Graciella.

“Nona Graciella? Why don't you pick up my phone or call me back? I'm so worried about you!” stevan said directly. Of course with his style is quite excessive. Graciella only scratched her non-itchy eyebrows. It's always like this, he's really like he's got a special guard.

“Yes, I'm working on island A. There's a very interesting case and I'm so focused on solving it that I can't answer your call,” Graciella said. Glanced at Brigjend Howard who was somehow standing nearby as if watching him.

“Why didn't you say that you were now on island A? I will be able to send my subordinates to take care of you there. If anything happens how?” ask Stevan.

“General Stevan, I'm not a child anymore. So I don't need an escort. My job is done anyway. Maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll be home. Already, don't worry too much about me,” replied Graceilla who actually likes to call Stevan with the title of General, know how proud this man when getting the title.

But for Brigjend Howard, hearing Graciella mention the General's name. Makes her glance at Graciella.

“Alright, I'll wait for you. Tell me, I'll pick you up at the train station,” Stevan said again.

“All right, I'll tell you when I'll be home. All right, I'll get ready first, Bye!” graciella is friendly. This guy, it always is. Sometimes Graciella feels uncomfortable, but also comforted by her attitude. Graciella immediately put her phone in the bag she was carrying.

“Wah, it's just fitting that you have easy access to enter and investigate this case,” Brigjen Howard said in a slightly mocking voice. That certainly makes Graciella again face to ask.

“You mean?” ask Graciella.

“Yes, I guess you are a dedicated woman with a job so the head office allows you to investigate the case even if you are from a private party. Didn't know there was a big man behind you. Well, I understand now,” Brigjen Howard said with a paltry smile.

Graciella frowned deeply. He knew very well the direction of the conversation from Brigadier General Howard and of course it made him immediately upset.

“Brigadir General Howard. I don't know what your problem is with me since the first time we met. You don't know me, so you better not conclude anything. If you don't like me. I'll go now!” graciella said with regret. Helena and Ferdinand who had just walked out of the room looked shocked to see Graciella was talking annoyedly with Brigadier General Howard.

“Nona Graciella what is it?” asked Ferdinand.

“It's okay, let's quickly get out of here,” said Graciella who was still staring cynically at Brigjend Howard who just silently looked at Graciella leaving his office.

“When do we go home?” ask Graciella to arrange things to get home soon.

“Ehm, actually who will go home tonight is only Ferdinand, brother, he will submit a report directly to brother Daren,” said Helena.

“Then? When are we going home? Why not just go with Ferdinand?” graciella asked, frowning her forehead.

“Yes, because Boss wants sister on vacation first. He told her to stay here and not to let the kayak go home. He also wants us to move to a hotel on the coast until later it will be more fun,” said Helena again.

Graciella who was still upset because of the action of Brigadier General Howard immediately grabbed his phone and called Daren. Once the tone is connected, the call is immediately answered.

“Halo sister, why can't I go home now?” ask Graciella directly. Daren knew right away that his foster sister must be upset. Moreover, he gets a report, the police chief on the island seems to dislike Graciella and irritate her.

“Kan I told you that you should take time for a short vacation. Life isn't just learning and working, Graciella. Enjoy a little time for your vacation. You did a good job anyway. I didn't even expect you to only take two days to solve all those cases. So just think of it as a gift from me, have fun,” Daren explained to Graciella who was still frowning her forehead,

“But ...”

“Nothing but, just accept your vacation. All right, I gotta get back to my job. Have fun,” said Daren smiling. Knows exactly how Graciella's face is bending to listen to her words.

Graciella just looked at her phone. The call has been cut off. Annoyed but not knowing how. Maybe he should take a little vacation. He spent four years studying and studying. After that it works. Maybe that's why he's more irritated now.

“So how's brother? We're on vacation?” helena asked innocently looking at Graciella who seemed to be thinking.

“Yes, we will be on vacation,” Graciella said.

“Hore! All right, let's move to a new hotel!” said Helena again immediately picked up her bag and walked out of the hotel room.

...****************...

Helena was stunned to see the hotel that had been booked by Daren for her and Graciella. Graciella narrowed her eyes to see a cottage built on a cliff that was directly bounded by a white beach. The cottage looked traditional with coconut trees surrounding them.

“Please Miss, you are in hut number 4 and this lady is in hut number 5,” said the waiter who greeted them. Give each of the lodge keys to Graciella and Helena. Graciella and Helena looked at each other when they got the key. Didn't expect them to get their own huts.

Graciella was quite unnerved by the contents within the hut. Indeed outside it looks just like an ordinary wooden hut. But inside it's so comfortable. The floor and walls are made of wood, as well as the bed, but the layout looks so comfortable. The cottage also features a balcony and direct access to the beach below them, directly bordering the vast blue sea. Graciella never thought that Daren would provide all this for her. Sometimes Graciella is confused, what she has done until her life is so lucky.

“Kakak!” yelled Helena from the cottage next door, she also just arrived at the balcony of her cottage. He immediately tried the hanging swing that was on the balcony. Graciella just chuckled at Helena's behavior.

Graciella looked back at the white beach. Found a figure he knew standing was staring at him. Graciella's eyes grew so full that they wanted to get out. How is he suddenly here?
