Falling For Miss Captain : LOVE Vs DUTY

Chapter 17 - Don't Meet Him



Team Delta started accompanying and protecting Prince Felix on all his official and unofficial meetings starting from the next day. A meeting with the Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Business, etc. There were meetings after meetings.

Two days had passed and much to their surprise, it was peacefully calm and quiet. They wondered if the war victims family will let it go this time. But Yelena cannot be at ease. She thought that it was so peaceful that it was hard to believe. She reminded her team to not let their guard down over and over again.

The Crown Prince was supposed to stay at Silveren for ten days. Though all the official meetings were scheduled to finish in a week, an event to celebrate the peace with different countries will be held at Silveren on the ninth day. So, the Prince needs to attend the event as the Representative of Edeladon.

Team Delta along with Prince Felix were on their way back to the Guest House after a long day of endless meetings.

Cayden, the Prince right hand man was also present there. He came to the Guest House two days ago when his Prince informed him that he had found the woman; so he doesn\'t have to do the searching anymore.

The huge and luxurious car was very quiet for a while, with Yelena sitting on the front seat next to Sgt. Calvin who drive the car. Prince Felix was on the back seat with Cayden.

"I want to take a walk for a while." The Prince said as he scanned the beautiful streets of the capital.

"There are so many people here. I\'m afraid it will be dangerous, Your Highness." Yelena replied with an utmost respect.

"Then let me roam around just this vicinity. Come with me, Yelena!" He exclaimed with glee as he get out of the car right away. He won\'t accept any rejection this time!

But then he saw Yelena sitting still inside the car. He stood next to the car door and urge her to come out.

Yelena sighed. Why was this Crown Prince so childish? He always make trouble! What was he up to this time?

She turned her head to look at him and whispered in his ear. "What are you doing?"

"Why? Everyone in this car knows about us. Am I wrong?" He deliberately raised his voice so that Cayden and Sgt. Calvin could heard him.

Yelena eyes grew wide at his shamelessness. "Just keep your voice low. Will you?" She muttered as she gave him a pleading look.

Please don\'t create more troubles!

Prince Felix didn\'t feel the need to be cautious as he was sure that there was no secret here. He shifted his gaze to Sgt. Calvin who was staring at them with a bewildered face. "That night. You saw everything through the CCTV camera, don\'t you? You\'re in charge of the control room." He simply asked him like it was no big deal.

Sgt. Calvin was left in a dilemma. If he say \'no\' then he would be lying to the VIP. If he say \'yes\' then he would be disobeying his Captain order!

He was tight lipped; inwardly cursing the gods for letting him stuck between the love story of these two stubborn superiors!

He was completely innocent! Was it his fault that he witnessed the pleading hug by mistake? They were the ones who still did that despite knowing they were being monitored!

"Why did you involved an innocent soldier in this matter?" Yelena scowled. "Fine. I\'ll go with you." She gave in and get out of the car which makes the Prince beam with victory!

"You always have your way, don\'t you?" Yelena said to Felix. The two were walking side by side on the packed street with Cayden and Sgt. Calvin following them at a distance. The other members and guards were told to return to the Guest House.

"I lose my self control tonight. I was so eager to spend more time with you. That\'s why." The Prince calmly said.

Yelena remained silent and stopped complaining as she knew how much the Prince hold back himself. In fact, his patience surprised her. He was much more patient than she thought him to be.

It gave her a sense of relief thinking that this man was quite sensible.

"That day, I realized that some of the things you told me in Belden were true." Felix hinted with a warm smile.

"Like what?"

"You told me that your parents are rich." He pointed out what she told her in Belden.

"Everything I told you were true, except my name and my profession. Sometimes I need to keep my identity a secret because of my job. Special Forces members don\'t go around saying -"

Yelena stopped before she could finish her words. The Prince was not next to her. She turned around and saw him just two or three steps behind her. She sigh and take a step backward. "What is it?" She asked him.

Felix glanced at Yelena with his tender eyes. "Do you mean that you\'re sincere? When you said that you\'re glad for my presence that day." He hopefully asked her.

Does that trouble him this much? Once again, Yelena finds this man very amusing. He never stops surprising her! How can he be this childish yet responsible at the same time?

"Yes, I mean it. Do you think I\'m that big of a liar? Do you think I would only spat out lies?" She teased him with a light laughter.

"Don\'t do that." Felix abruptly turned his head away from her. If she continues to tease him with that face and that laughter, he was afraid that he wouldn\'t be able to survive it!

For the second time, the two finds themselves completely lost again in a world where only the two of them exists!

They chat and bicker while walking side by side, forgetting all other worries until Yelena\'s phone went off.

The call was from Maj. Gen. Lucian who told Yelena to give a report about her current mission to Lt. Gen. Gavin Ordin on the next day. Lt. Gen. Gavin was the in charge of the whole Special Forces of Silveren.

"What is it?" Felix asked Yelena the moment she ended the call.

"I need to give report at the Headquarters tomorrow. You have schedules till noon and I will go after that."

"Will it be long? What will you do after that?" He asked, figuring out some plan in his mind.

Yelena thought for a while. "After that, I will meet someone."

"Who?"

"My fiancé. He called me a while ago."

Yelena thought that she must not put on hold for so long. She needs to meet him sooner or later anyway. So, it would be best to get it done as soon as possible. But she didn\'t notice the changed in Felix\'s reaction.

Her fiancé? How could he forgot that this woman had a fiancé?! But he was sure that she didn\'t love her so called fiancé. Just like his case, it might be an arranged one; so he tried not to think too much about it.

The two remained silent for a while. But Yelena finds the situation too awkward to cope with it. "I -"

"I think I know who your fiancé is." Felix said, much to Yelena\'s surprise.

"I don\'t think so." She confidently brushed him off.

"I\'m sure it was an arranged engagement; much more like a business deal. So, it must be the heir of a business partner of TR Group." Felix assumed.

Yelena still stared at him with a confident look. She was convinced that he won\'t be able to guess it right.

"Is your fiancé the heir of Serano Group, Maurice Serano?"

If eyeballs could pop out due to shockness, Yelena would surely experience it at that time! How did he got it right at the first try? Did he had a special ability or what?!

Felix burst out into a laughter as he saw Yelena\'s reaction. "Don\'t be too shock. It\'s not that hard to guess. Everyone in the business circle knew that TR Group and Serano Group are already a business partner for more than three decades. Serano Group have the strongest ties with TR Group more than any conglomerates in Silveren."

"I see." Yelena simply nodded her head.

The Prince blinked in surprise. "You don\'t know all this?\'

"I\'m not interested in my mother\'s business." She frankly answered him.

Felix imagined Yelena meeting her fiancé. He inwardly reminded himself that it was just an engagement, not even marriage and he still had a chance because it was an arranged one. He told himself over and over again that it was the heart that matters the most.

But somehow he still felt a pain in his heart. He tried to be understanding and patient; so that she would finally accept him one day.

But he was also a human. On top of that, a man with feelings!

He glanced at her with pain. "Can you not go? Don\'t meet him."
