Escape of Freedom [ female reader x Eiser Leinz Grayan ]

Ch5. Guard Down

His eyes drill a hole into my eyes.

"You should have them check out" he said, still not letting go.

I reached for his hand that was gripping my face "I will"

I was about to pull his hand away when someone knocked the car window. He finally let go before turning to look at the person who knocked.

I take a deep breath, facing the other way around.

Does this happen because I have never been acquainted with the guy before? I get nervous.

The guy who knocked earlier apparently Raul, Eiser personal secretary. I don't have any intention to eavesdropping, so I stay at my side.

Being on my own thoughts reminded me that I haven't met Grandma yet. Because of what happened earlier, I kind of drag Eiser outside. I hope it wasn't a bother for him.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Serenity" I turned to Raul, smiling "nice to meet you too" I hold out my hand for a handshake, but it was ignored.

"Raul, I would like to thank you for the jewelry box" I said as I was reminded about that. I figured that there's no way Eiser was the one who picked them up since he doesn't look like he want to do it.

"What jewelry box?"

He glanced at Eiser and back to me "I wasn't informed about that at all"

Huh? Did someone else send that? Then, who is it?

"Oh! Is it yours? Sir Eiser did visit your parents' house yesterday"

I looked at Eiser, and once again, he had his poker face on. I can't figure out what is actually happening since he always had the same look.

"You can go now" Eiser said, rolling the window up. I turned my body facing him, trying to gauge an answer from him.

"You actually pick it up?"

He faced me too "you told me to" my eyebrows are lifted "but you don't look like you want to do it"

"Do I have to show it on my face?" He asked, still looking as stoic as ever.

How I wish I could move his eyebrows and mouth so it turned shapes.

"Do you know what? All your face muscles are all rusty"

"I don't care about that"

"Then, what if something you like show up? Are you going to stay looking like this?"

"This is how I usually am. Do I have to change?"

"No, I don't mean that. I mean, it's not that bad to show emotions, you know"

He let out a sighed, "I already did"

Did you?

"Okay then, keep it up" I mumbled, facing the other way.

I wondered what his happy face looked like. I want to see him smile, too. I don't know why but I want to see that.

It might be because he is the first person I got kind of close with during my adult life. My social circle is always the same people like Eduart and Ealfrida, so the routine is always the same.

I know how they acted during their happiest and saddest moments.

But Eiser wasn't like that. He doesn't talk much , and he does something bad.

I guess I got curious.

I rest my head against the car seat, looking out the scenery through the window.
