Chapter 19: Attracted to me"Umm... You were the one who moved a bit toward me and my lips pressed on your skin," Amelie said in a low enough voice that the driver wouldn’t listen to it. She then turned her head away, looking out of the window, biting her lip in anticipation. Gabriel gazed at her, tilting his head on the headrest, scrutinizing her. ’Why she can’t simply say the truth? Did she feel something?’ he thought. ’Why did I never encounter her before? I explored many lands in these twelve years, only to ignore that place.’ As the driver pulled in front of a fancy restaurant, Gabriel and Amelie made their way inside. They had a hearty lunch meal. She wanted to pay for the bills, but the lack of money with her made her embarassed too. "You can treat me once you start getting paid," Gabriel said, again showing to her how he read her thoughts. He extended his hand for her and she subtly grabbed it before walking out. Upon arriving home, Amelie thanked Gabriel for the dresses and the meal. "When am I supposed to start working for you?" she asked curiously. "Whenever you are ready," Gabriel replied. "Talk to Karmen once. He will explain everything to you." "Sure. Thank you," Amelie said. He picked up a glass of water for her, which the servant brought on a tray and forwarded it to Amelie. She accepted and sipped the water slowly.

Miss Moore is here with Miss Amelie’s reports," Albus informed him. Amelie was quick to put the glass on the tray. "Bring her here," Gabriel instructed. Albus bowed and walked away. "My reports were fine when I did a regular checkup a few days ago," Amelie said. "I see. But I want everything to be under check since you are in my protection. That’s why all such procedures has to be done," Gabriel stated and found a seat on the lounge chair. "You are too kind to me. Are you like this to everyone?" Amelie sat on the mattress, waiting for his response. "No. My kindness is exclusive for you," Gabriel replied. "You didn’t take your payment last night," Amelie suddenly said. "I wonder how are you supposed to do that." She fiddled with her fingers while keeping her gaze low. "I am already taking it," Gabriel answered. Amelie looked at him when a knock occurred on the door. It was Albus voice. "Sir, Miss Moore is here," he said from the door. "Let her in," Gabriel commanded. Skye walked in with an envelope in her right while a small bag in her left. Amelie was quick to stand up and smile at her. "Hi, Amelie. How are you doing?" Skye asked as she kept the small bag on the table. "Hi. I’m doing good," Amelie replied and squeezed her hands together. Gabriel approached her and she lifted her head, feeling better after she gazed into his violet eyes for a brief moment. "Everything is fine, except for a few deficiencies. I have brought the medicines as well. You need to take them one per day after dinner," Skye explained to her and showed the tablets bottles. Gabriel kept a keen eye and thanked Skye. "Mention not," Skye replied and gazed at Gabriel, "Bring Amelie to the clinic after two weeks. Note this date. We will have an ultrasound and she can see her growing pup," she explained. Amelie got a strange feeling to hear that. She would be able to see the life inside her. Her heart fluttered against her chest with this warm, unknown feeling. "Sure, I will." Gabriel’s senses were heightened compared to the others. He felt how Amelie’s heart was drumming. "Thanks, Skye," he then said. "Why don’t you dine with me tonight?" Skye suddenly asked Gabriel, right in front of Amelie. "I have plans," Gabriel replied. "What about tomorrow?" Skye questioned. "I have again plans. I’ll send my beta to have dinner with you in my absence," Gabriel said, declining her request politely. "Just call me when you are free. You should treat me to dinner," Skye said. She glanced at Amelie then, "Take care. If you need anything, tell Gabriel." With that, she left with a saddened heart. "So, you have some deficiencies. I’ll ask Albus to give you the best diet during this period," Gabriel stated. "Why don’t you go on a dinner with Skye? She looked quite hopeful for it," Amelie said. "But I like to have my meals with you," Gabriel replied. He tucked the strands behind her ear and looked into her eyes. "Skye has a crush on me for a long time. But she’s not the one for me." "Why? I think she’s a great woman. She’s even a healer and doctor. Not to mention, she is so sweet," Amelie said with a small smile. "Don’t try to set me up with her," Gabriel warned. The smile from Amelie’s lips vanished instantly. She bit her bottom lip. "I didn’t do that. I thought it would be a good gesture not to ignore her request." "You don’t need to think about that. Just focus on yourself. I forgot to mention in the annual gala, every pack Alpha will be present. So, there’s a high probability that you and your sister going to encounter each other. She may tag along with your ex. I hope you find a way to be strong in front of her. Take some rest. We will see each other later," Gabriel pronounced and turned on his heels. "You said I could use you. If I encounter my sister, I will show her you are my partner. I think that will be better, right?" Amelie asked. Gabriel smirked and tilted his head to look at her. "Sure." He curled his fingers and closed the distance between them. Cupping her one cheek, he kissed on it. "In the store, that kiss on my neck didn’t happen because I moved my neck. It happened because you were attracted to me," Gabriel said, peering into her eyes in amusement.
