Chapter 7

Gracey blinked when she heard Rock greet her Good morning. She swallowed.

"Are you okay?" Rock whispered to her.

Her eyebrows met. If it can speak it seems like nothing.

"You're asking if I'm okay?! Well, I'm not okay because of you! You're too much."

"Whoa, easy! What are you talking about?"

Gracey took a deep breath. This man is really teasing her.

"Maybe, after you got revenge on me last night, will you stop bothering me and give me my peace?!" she asked annoyed.

While still early she had to break the nonsense it was thinking. Come what may... It's harder to continue because she will really commit sin!

"Wait... My revenge?" Rock's light.

He suddenly thought of a prank. Amaze, he looked at Gracey's face which was completely confused by what he said.

"Brrr! I can't beleive this! Don't say you don't remember what you did to me last night?!" Gracey's language was frustrating.

She was even angrier.

"I-I really don't remember anything... My goodness, I was drunk last night."

Annoyed Gracey rubbed her forehead. That's right, he was too drunk last night.

"You kissed me last night and you said... Your taking your revenge. Maybe you will stop me because you have already retaliated against me."

"No. I do not remember anything like that. Also, if that happened you would still not be able to get through to me because of your many sins. You even said you were willing to pay me with extra charge, remember?"

Annoyed Gracey took the pillow and threw it at Rock. It caught the pillow effortlessly.

"You're bad, Rock. Don't start something that will both immerse us in sin. Don't you have a conscience, huh? Don't you feel sorry for your wife and child?!" Gracey said.

Rock was stunned by what she said but for a few seconds, he laughed softly. What?! Does he really have no conscience?!

"You're really bad!" she commented.

Rock smiled at Gracey.

"I'm not a married man, Graciana. I'm still single. Maybe you heard me talking to my daughter Angela earlier so you conclude. But sad to say, you are wrong. Yes, I have a daughter but I'm still single."

Gracey was stunned by what she heard. She lost the feeling of anger and annoyance and a large part of her character was greatly pleased with what she had learned. She was shaken... Did she quickly forget how she felt about Ashton?!

"Are you a single father?" she asked hesitantly.

"Yes. And I have no intention of telling you how and why. Now, let's talk about you paying your arrears to me..." Rock began.

Gracey swallowed and looked intently at Rock's face. It walked closer to her and it sat next to her. A simple smile flashed across its lips.

"How can I pay?" she swallowed when she ask the question.

Rock sighed before speaking.

"I will be busy for almost three months because in the meantime, I will replace my friend Siege. I will be the OIC in Men in Action first. He will get married so he will be gone for a long time, I’m still in the hospital. All I need is the person who will look at my child for a while, while I am busy. I can't expect Rouge and the others always because they also take care of a lot..." Rock hung up first.

He looked seriously in front of her. She stared at his face and listened intently.

"I want you to take care of my child while I'm busy. You will take care of her and then, you can pay for your arrears to me. What?"

Gracey took a deep breath after hearing what Rock said. Such a punishment is also good. She smiled.

"All right, that's fine with me!" her language was lively.

"Just make sure you don't do anything that will harm my daughter." Rock strongly warned.

"Do not worry. I used to take care of the child because of my nasty nephews to Kuya Nado. They are still pure men and those four are really riots when they get together. Just be careful a little bit there is boxing going on. I don't think I will have a hard time with your daughter because she is a good girl."

Rock smiled at what she said.

"Angela is a bright kid. But you should bury a lot of patience. She is talkative and she loves to ask a lot of questions. It was her uncle Rouge's fault. She was four years old so expect her to be naughty just like other kids."

Amuse that Gracey looked at Rock's face. She sees different energy and joy in his eyes as he talks about the child. He seems to be a really good father. She felt admiration for it. Then she suddenly remembered what happened last night. Her cheeks warmed at the thought.

"While you are taking care of my child, you will stay with me for a while. You can visit your house whenever you want. Just make sure you don't leave Angela alone at home. You can leave her to my friends when you do."

Gracey was stunned by what Rock said. Her hands were raised in the air.

"W-Wait, do I still have to live in your h-house? I should stay out. Especially when I get back to work. I still have four days left on my vacation..."

"Your punishment for me includes temporal reclusion. That is one of the rules of ART. 143. What, you go to jail or that? You choose."

Gracey frowned and laughed awkwardly.

"I-It's easy to talk to me, Rock. If that's what you want, then go ahead..." she forced a smile.

"Good. I hope you will be obedient and that we will not have problems. I am your boss."

He held out his right hand. She looked at it and hesitated to accept its handshake with her.

"P-Please be kind to me..." she said worriedly.

"Sure..."

Rock stared at her intently and she blinked slightly as she felt he squeeze her hand. She seemed to be tickled by what it did. She quickly withdrew her hand. She remembered her promise to her sister Candice. She took a deep breath to gain courage.

"By the way, Rock... I would like to ask you something..." she began.

"What?"

"You know Leon Acosta, don't you?"

"Yes."

Amaze that Rock looked at Gracey's face. It worries a lot. The sigh was constant.

"What are you going to ask me?"

"If he ever asks you where my sister is, don't tell him. Please?"

Rock folded his arms. Leon was close to him.

"And why?"

"Rock... I don't want my sister to be hurt anymore. I don't know what happened between the two of them but... Please, don't tell him that my sister is here." her worried language.

Rock touch his chin. It looked at her earnestly.

"What is the price of my silence?"

Gracey was dumbfounded and disgusted to look at Rock's face. She could not believe what she heard.

"Do I really need to be charge?!" she could not believe what she heard.

"Leon Acosta is a very good friend of mine. I do not want me to keep a personal secret from a friend... So there must be a price for my silence."

Gracey swallowed. Rock is serious about what it says. But for the sake of her sister Candice, she will agreed!

"Fine. What do you want in return?"

"A kiss." Rock's straight language.

Her lips parted but no words came out of her mouth. She could not believe it.

"A-A kiss ?!" she exclaimed as she recovered from the shock.

She was stunned when Rock brought her face close to his. She sighed as he gently caressed her lips.

"It's your fault ... You said you would pay me with extra charge, that's why the kiss I ask for extra charge when you pay your arrears... Your simple request is also included. That should be considered..."

She was dazzled. As Rock makes such gestures to her, she is attracted to him. She was shaken. She simply shook his hand.

"A-All right. I totally said that I will pay the extra charge. The best thing is, let's go out and have breakfast. We will have a long journey." she just said.

She stood up and Rock followed her. It remained silent. They left the room one by one to go to the dining room and have breakfast. After eating breakfast, they immediately prepared to leave. They politely said goodbye to her grandparents and others. She hugged her sister Candice tightly.

"Don't worry sister, it is solve. I already talked to Rock and he said yes to my request."Gracey whispered.

Her sister hugged her tightly.

"Thanks Gracey! Love you..."

"Welcome, sis. Love you too."

They let go of each other's hugs and smiled. After that, she and Rock walked away. It carried their bags. Even though she said that she was the one to take care of her bag, he did not want you to give it to her. So, she just let it go. Since, he is the one who will carry the luggage’s.

At the exit there is a parked black pajero. She was surprised because it did not even move. Rock approached there and lowered the carrying bags. He took out something of his pants pocket. A small touch screen phone. Something did it there and she was surprised when the car spontaneously approached them. When it confronted them, the doors opened automatically with the trunk.

"Cool! It's good that your car wasn't stolen?" she asked admiringly.

"Anyone who tries to stole it will die. It releases a lot of electricity when it is in defense mode."

"Awesome!"

Rock had already placed the traveling bags in the trunk of the car and closed it. After that it rode in the driver seat.

"Let's go." it calls to her.

She was excited to ride in the car and she was impressed with the modern design then. That is not just ordinary pajero. She wore a seatbelt. Rock pressed a button and the car door closed.
