Chapter 44 - Truce

The next day Karol woke up fresh after her good night sleep. Like always she will freshen up before heading down to the dining hall to have her breakfast. She unplugged the charge and keep it inside the small pouch bag provided without even turning her phone on.

Without fresh pair of clothes, she uses the same bathrobe exits her room and head over to the dining hall. As she enters the dining hall she quickly heads over to the food aisle but her eyes catch something which makes her happy at the sight.

She saw another lady seating in the middle of the dining hall in her bathrobe just like her having breakfast without any care in the world. After knowing that there's someone like her out there she happily stacks her food on the plate before heading over to the window section of the dining hall.

Before Karol could take a bite of her breakfast someone holds onto her shoulder making her halt her action turn her head towards the person who was smirking at her while moving away from her and taking her seat which is in front of her.

A speechless Karol place her spoon down, gulp her saliva as she regains her words; "What are you doing here?"

"Eating breakfast then I saw someone familiar so I decided to say hi"

"No, no. You shouldn't be here at all"

"Yes, we are here,"

"Shit! Like all 3 or just 2?" asked Karol silently praying that she said the latter yet Sharon's visible smirk quickly wash away her prayer.

"All 3 of us"

"Okay, well I didn't do anything wrong so I'm okay. I mean whatever"

Said Karol as she takes a bite of her food. Sharon looks at her sister smiling at her flustered attitude and shaking her head while still staring at her. She then nonchalantly said;

"You know if you both are strictly friends then you shouldn't get angry at him in the first place unless you have a feeling for him,"

"Yea, we are just friend nothing more and as always I was overreacting over a small, no, nothing situation"

Sharon purse her lips together in a forced smile; "Don't get it into your head okay sissy?" as she stands up still looking at her sister who replied; "Don't tell them that I seat here okay?" she nods then walks away leaving Karol to enjoy her breakfast alone.

As Sharon walks away from her head towards her fiancé, she couldn't help but to murmur lowly to herself; 'I won't, I won't sell you out don't worry. But if they notice you on their own then it's not my fault' while flashing a quick smile at the thought.

A few minutes later after her sister's walk away from her another handhold unto Karol's shoulder and this time around there's a little tingle.

At that exact moment, Karol knew that Christian caught her so she slightly turns her head to look at the person who was holding her shoulder, in a fake surprise tone she asked;

"You here?"

"Yes, I am and where have you been?" asked Christian as he takes his seat in front of her.

"Nowhere"

Karol replied short and simple as she continues to eat her breakfast while Christian lean slightly over; "I mean last night, where did you go?"

Immediately Karol shoves the bite-size pancakes; "Here, eat some pancakes" asked Christian's mouth, shutting his mouth up as he chews his food as she shoves a few pieces in her mouth, clearing the plate.

"No problem, now that you eat all of my pancakes you go and get some more vanilla pancakes,"

"Okay boss"

Upon hearing Christian's reply to Karol, she heard a few mumbles and slightly fainted gasps coming from the side of the hall. As always she ignores their stare and murmurs as she continues to eat her food and just enjoy her morning breakfast.

Their breakfast ended with a sweet morning vibe, neither one of them wanting to bring or discussion about what happened on that night. They went back to their room and promise to meet up at the lobby by noon upon checking out.

"You guys ready?" asked Sharon they gather together at the hotel's lobby.

Instantly both Christian and Jason replied; "Yup" at the same time while Karol looked at her sister then back to Jason.

"Are you two going somewhere else after this?"

"After our lunch maybe, it's up to your sister to decide,"

"Yea was thinking of sightseeing after this. Do you both want to come with us?"

"Nah, I'll pass. I just want to head back home and rest up"

"I'll just follow her,"

"Okay then let's head out for lunch together then we go on our separate ways right after that,"

Both couples head over to their cars that were parked right in front of the hotel at the VVIP parking space and drive off. A few minutes later they parked at Olcan's Authentic Food Restaurant which for their promised lunch.

After lunch date as promised, they went to their separate ways with Sharon and Jason heading out for sightseeing and Karol and Christian drove back to Theodulf.

Along the way driving back to Theodulf, both Christian and Karol were talking and exchanging information about each other trying to get to know each other better in a friend term.

"Okay this is my exit, thank you for the ride good Sir," said Karol jokingly before exiting the car while Christian reply "No problem at all my queen" tilting his invisible hat.

Both then burst into laughter at the same time before Karol exited the car and wave goodbye at her mate.

Christian then drive away and head back to his mansion which is allocated right next to Karol's rental house.
