When Doctor Meet Mr. Polyseman
#8
Work hours are over, but Grace must be available at all times. He took his toiletries and went to clean up. When he finished and wanted to get out of the bathroom, he was shocked because there was Gregory at the door.
Grace held onto her chest because her heart was suddenly racing in shock, “what are you doing here, Captain?”
“Travelling. I don't want anyone peeking at you in the shower.”
“Tno one will do it. They are not men like that,” said Grace wanted to step away.
Gregory's hand quickly grabbed Grace's waist until they were next to each other but facing in a different direction.
“I really feel like I've met you. It's like I have a bond with you. Have you ever lived in Europe?” ask Gregory.
Degghhh
Grace began to fret a little with Gregory's question. He was afraid that Gregory was one of his uncle's men.
Did they know I was alive? Nah! They must not know. - Inner Grace.
“It looks like you're wrong, Captain Gregory. I was born and raised here, besides a face like me there are many,” elak Grace and try to go from there. However, Gregory's hand was still coiled around his waist.
“Let me go,” pinta Grace.
“I will let you go if you call my name without the frills of Master or Captain. Call me Gregory.”
“But we're not that close, Captain.”
“You want us to be as close as what?” Gregory pulled his hand until Grace's body was now completely attached to Gregory. Grace's heart is racing again. He was afraid that the longer he was around Gregory, the more he would recognize him.
Both of their eye beads clashed, but Grace instantly turned her face away, “sorry, I have to go.”
Grace pushes Gregory's body and eventually the man releases her. He stared at Grace's departure, the longer her back stayed out of sight.
“Who are you really?” murmured Gregory. Feeling Gregory was indeed very strong, which was why he could tell which people had bad intentions for him.

Grace took out a necklace from inside her shirt, a small pendant engraved with the beautiful GL lettering on her neck. Gracia Lawrence, that's her real name. He had to cover it so that no one would know.
Inside the pendant, there is a photo of his parents on the left and a photo of him as a child on the right. The pendant became his strength to continue living for the sake of both his parents.
He lay on the bed, but still could not close his eyes. His conversation earlier this afternoon with Gregory made him uneasy, even very agitated.
Just focus on working on Grace. Don't think about that man anymore. Relax, he doesn't recognize you. You're not a 15-year-old anymore, you're different. - Grace monologues with herself hoping her worries disappear.
Meanwhile, in Gregory's room, he looked up at the ceiling with his own arm. He kept thinking about where he had met Grace.
“Still not asleep, Capt?” ask Danilo.
“Hmm.”
“Is there anything that makes you nervous?”
“Ya.”
“What is this about Dante?”
“Not.”
“Family?”
“Not.”
“Hmm.”
Danilo who heard Gregory's reply approached. He had never seen or heard of Gregory having problems with women. So, this is the first and he will be the first to know.
Pertamax! - Inner Danilo.
“Who is that woman? Are you set up?” ask Danilo.
“Nil, do you feel like you've met Grace?”
“Grace? Doctor Grace?” Danilo scratched his non-itchy head.
“Hmm.”
“No. I've never met him and I don't think we've ever come into contact with him at all, ” Danilo explained.
“But why do I feel I know him?”
“Are you in love with her?”
“Fall in love? I don't know. I just feel comfortable when I'm close to him. Besides I want to always be around her and want to protect her.”
“It looks like you are in love, Capt!”
“Does she already have a lover?” ask Gregory.
“I don't know, Capt.”
“Then, you should look for all the information about it. Everyone, no one missed a single one,” Gregory's orders.
“T-but Capt?!”
“What but but?”
“It's not my job. If I do that, later my other tasks will fall apart.”
“It would be better if your job was a mess, rather than a messy office because I did not get that information. Do you want me to get mad at the office because of that?” ask Gregory.
Danilo returned to his imagination when Gregory was angry when they could not get information about Dante. The atmosphere of the office feels grave, cold and gripping. Sometimes there would be the sound of the shouts of the staff getting unreasonable tasks from Gregory.
“Alright, I'll look for him. When will we get back to the office?” ask Danilo.
“If you can come back now, just go back. I'll stay right here. But when I call you, then you have to pick me up,” said Gregory who then began to close his eyes.
Danilo pulled his hair to the side with both hands. When he was appointed Gregory's assistant, he was very happy and proud. However, now he knew that it was not pride, but rather a slow torment. His mouth continued to mutter without making a sound.
“Don't keep swearing at me, Nile. If you manage to get complete information, maybe I will reward you with a vacation that you almost never get,” said Gregory.
Hearing the word vacation, Danilo suddenly became very excited. He immediately cleaned up some of his goods and wanted to go straight to the city, even though it was night.
“Have a rest, Nile. I don't want anything bad to happen to you,” after that no longer heard from Gregory, only sounding snoring Hallua which indicates the man has fallen asleep and flew into the dream realm.
