Chapter 25 - Lost

Not knowing, how killing she was looking at the moment, with those ruffled, messy hairs, that short-dress, her bare feet,long legs. Definitely not to forget her make-up, which was still intact, since she forgot to wash it.

( Well one of the perk of being cabin crew. Even you make-up products are easy going and long lasting one. Not to mention, smudge proof, water proof nature of their. So, only when she remove it, will it be removed. Or else, it will remain the way it is. Though, for sure, they would damage the skin the more they stay. But that's where her skincare routine came to rescue. )

So, she was looking the same as the moment, she changed and dressed-up for the club, last night, at the moment. The only difference was at that time, there were many people to compliment her looks, now there was none. So, there she went.. Sneakily to hold the pen,which looked like it was on the verge of falling, but didn't fall the whole night, not even at the moment.

But how would she know that. She thought, maybe it will fall, and disturb the guy's sleep. Plus, who doesn't know about the saying ; 'The more the power, the more the responsibility.' So,she doesn't need to know, just how much this guy must deal with on daily basis. And since she can do nothing for him, so she decided to help him to sleep more.

But the moment, with little bit of courage, the girl hold the pen to remove it from his grip and to place it on the table, nearby. The very fellow..who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes in a slow-mo. ( The same way, the cold, intimidating, CEO's of dramas does, to make the other person spellbound, somewhat with terror, shock, surprise and mixture of emotions.)

And as expected, even Sara, who just wanted to lend her hand a bit.. Froze on her place. Jacob stare at the girl and doesn't know what to do. It was his instinct, who wake him up, from his deep slumber. After all, anyone except Chaol... is considered as a threat by his senses. So, it's natural for them to act up, the moment she touched the pen.

Ahem! Ahem! Well, they get awakened, the moment this little girl's feet touch the ground, sneakily. Making him to know about it. But he didn't think much. Afterall, he knows the girl only knows how to run away from him. So,he had already assigned Miranda, the task of being with Sara, the moment she is in the palace.

So, that she won't kept wandering here and there, in his palace, which now for him is somehow very big maze. Well, he always use to think of this place as a matchbox. But now, not anymore. All thanks to her. As this person has been lost in this place, countless times, while coming and going to her room.

He has also told to give her full privacy and respect, by not entering hr room in her pressence, unless being called to do that. In simple terms, Miranda turned into a waiting girl or can say girl on call of Sara.

But, he got surprised the moment rather than running away, she approached him. He could hear her heartbeat, he could hear his heartbeat. He wanted to know her thoughts, but she wasn't thinking anything at the moment. He could see her approaching him, with curiosity and anticipation. After all, even he wants to know, what makes her approach him like a thief.

But when, she bent down to grab his pen. His eyes on their own snapped open. As he didn't want to see her, with his powers, anymore. Or can say, he didn't want to misuse his power, anymore. After all, even when she came home late at night, all drunk, wearing that short-dress, high heels, his focus was completely on her eyes, nowhere else.

Even when she had fallen sleep on his arms, he could have let his eyes roam around. But he didn't. So, when he didn't take advantage of her, when she wasn't in her senses. When he did nothing when she had lost consciousness. Then, how could he do any of that, when she was fully awake, doing god knows what.

So, he opened his eyes in slow-mo, and then fixed them on her cute little face. And her dark brown eyes. Rather than starring at the things which were on display, on their own.

But again, only god knows what spell these brown eyes bore in them, when he stare at them, he got lost completely on them. While she still didn't recover from the shock. Luckily a gust of wind came, waking both the duo from their respective daze.

" Ahem.. Ahem… I am sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." She replied in apologetic voice, trying to stay as far away from him, as possible. After all, he wasn't sleeping anymore. So, his cold frost, his innate intimidation and all those traits came running out of the window of sleep.

" It's alright.Are you okay?" He simply replied,while asked her in concern. After all, even till now, she was reeking off alochol. Plus, didn't the humans get hangover after drinking. A very bad one.

"Yeah. I am absolutely alright." Without knowing what or why he was asking, she replied back.

" Okay." He simply replied,making her to give a tight lip, embarrassed smile in return .Then she simply bowed and left his room, to meet her lost assistance of help Miranda, who luckily guided her to her room.

But the moment she reached her room, she got shocked. Coz Lord Chaol was awaiting for her, in her room.

" Good evening,Miss Rajput." He said, bringing her back from her shock.

" Good morning, Princeling." She replied back, still dealing with aftermath of shock.

" Princeling, huh!" Chaol raised his brows, to tease her.

" Ahem.. What brings you here, this early, Prince?" She asked, not bothering to explain, what she said and why. Earning the shock, the same one, which she showed a moment earlier the moment she find this guy in her room, in his face.

" What?" She asked starring at his gobsmacked face.
