Lazily Yours.

Chapter 580: Indirect Kiss

"Nothing? Really? She's clean?" How could that be? Gabi kept her silence when Kasper told her he wasn't able to find anything about Analise. She is clean. Everything that she said about her mother and their family was true. Even when she was a model, she was known as a kind and gentle woman but a little unlucky as she was hit by a truck at the peak of her career.

The thing is, this only made Gabi more suspicious.

It has been two days since she saw that woman and the information that they were able to gather was already like this. It was as if, she put everything in the open for them to find it. Was it really like this?

A sigh escaped her lips.

As expected, a life of a schemer is too tiring. She couldn't lower her guard down. She could only suspect everyone around her. It is exhausting.

"Anyway, just continue checking. I want you to check everyone around her, classmates, friends, her father, her grandfather. Just everyone." At the end of the day, it is still better to be safe than sorry. She couldn't let anyone betray her family again. No, she didn't want to feel what she felt when she lost Luca in the past. "You can leave now."

"Yes, miss."

Gabi looked at the time on her phone. It was still eight in the evening. Usually, Aden would arrive around nine or ten. For some reason, the guy still refused to use her front door and would climb to her room. It sounds too juvenile. However, her words were useless against that guy.

Gabi already tried locking her doors and windows, but for some reason, Aden could easily hack her security system. Then he would use the excuse of testing her security. It was slowly irritating her.

Just in the last two days, she already spent a lot of money just trying to fix her security.

Because of this, Gabi didn't lock her doors this time. If he wanted to come, then let him come! She sat on her bed and opened Netflix on her laptop. She couldn't remember when was the last time she started watching some movies and she thought it would be perfect to do it now while waiting for him.

She positioned the laptop on her bed and made herself comfortable before she chose some random movie. Then she lit some led candles, turn off her lights and started watching.

.

"Hm?" She's sleeping? Aden looked at the time and realized that it was still nine in the evening. Did something happen? He reached by her side in a few seconds and check her temperature. A sigh escaped his lips when he realized that she was just sleeping. There were no abnormalities in her body, either. He shook his head. He had been too nervous. It was pathetic. Looking around, he realized that the room felt extremely cozy. She must have fallen asleep while watching the laptop.

But who would blame her? The lights were out, it's cold and comfortable. She must have been tired, too. This woman had been running around, scheming against people. It was normal for her to get tired.

Still, he hated that she was too defenseless. She didn't even lock the windows or doors. "Tsk."

"You're here?" Gabi sat up in a jolt. "I fell asleep." She looked at the laptop. The episode one of the series that she chose to watch was still playing. "Sorry about that " She immediately notice that he was sitting on the edge of her bed. "How long have you been here?" she asked as she avoided his gaze.

She couldn't help but wonder if she was drooling earlier. How embarrassing.

"You didn't lock your windows."

"" She looked at him, disbelief apparent in her gaze. "Really?" she couldn't help but ask. She thought he wanted him to leave it open so he could just go inside to check on her.

Seeing her brows furrowed, he leaned closer, surprising her. Eyes wide, she leaned back in response. "What would happen if someone decides to go inside?"

He was too close, she could smell his aftershave. She gulped in response. The irritation inside her melted away. He had a point. "So I am supposed to just let you break it and spend money the next day to fix it?"

"You are too dumb." He handed her a bottle of water. "Drink it."

She said nothing as she grabbed it and hastily started drinking the water. For some reason, talking to this man is either going to make her hungry or thirsty.

"I already spent a lot on the security of the mansion. I am looking for someone to fix it. Can you recommend someone?" He should know, right? He is Archy's right-hand man after all.

"Ah that's easy try Shen Security. They have a branch here. I will call them tomorrow for you."

"Shen From Shen Group?"

He nodded in response. To her surprise, he suddenly used his thumb to wipe the water on her lower lip. Stunned, she let him. What is this man doing? Why was he acting like this? However, she had no courage to remove his fingers on her lower lip. "So thirsty" he uttered softly before letting go of her face. He then leaned back and casually grabbed the bottle from her hand.

Without saying anything, he drank the rest of the water.

"Uhhh." Gabi grew up inside this mansion all her life. Therefore, she has not seen anyone treat her like this. In her previous life, she had never experienced being so nervous around someone. She never kissed anyone aside from her husband, Harry, and that man from the one-night stand. However, she read a lot of novels about romance. And according to those novels this is what they call an indirect kiss. Right?

"Let me check your temperature."

"Wait" She was hot. She felt hot. She knew she was blushing. "I am uh let me turn off the movie." Was she panicking? She turned her head towards the candles, hoping they would distract her. Wait it's supposed to be dark, right? Then she's not supposed to see his face, at least not clearly, right?

Did her eyesight suddenly improve?
