Chapter 17 - PART 17 - DO YOU LOVE ME?

Michella had just arrived in central London, she rushed to get off the bus and look for the apartment that Ben meant. It wasn't long before someone told Michella where the Greater London Apartments were. Michella stared at how the person knew if she was looking for the address.

Without thinking, Michella rushed to the apartment, when she arrived at the lobby. Michella was immediately greeted by the receptionist.

"Miss Michella?" who is the receptionist?

"That's right, I'm Michella," mumbled Michella gasping for air.

Since it was already 11.55, she didn't want to disappoint Ben if she was late for Ben's room.

"Come with me, Miss. I'll take you to Mr. Ben's room." the receptionist orders.

"Okay, thank you."

Michella followed the officer, they took a different elevator. On the wall, it is stated that the elevator is used for VIP apartment residents.

Michella did not expect that they would use a different elevator for an apartment. Not long after the elevator door opened, Michella was wide-eyed when she saw the atmosphere of the VIP apartment that looked so luxurious.

Gold-plated walls, marble floors, and chandeliers are installed throughout the apartment hallway. Now Michella has arrived in front of room 5515, on the wall is written Ben Stone's name with acrylic carvings.

This apartment can only be owned by people like Ben Stone's class. The receptionist pressed the bell, not long after that the screen like an android tablet brought up Ben's face.

"Mr. Ben, your guest has arrived." said the receptionist named Liana, her name can be known from the name tag worn on her uniform.

"Okay, thanks Liana." cried Ben quietly.

While Liana immediately said goodbye to Michella, soon Ben opened the door. Michella smiled, and so did Ben. Ben immediately asked Michella to come into his apartment.

"Come in, Mic," said Ben quietly.

Michella smiled. "Thank you, Ben." cried Michella quietly and went straight inside.

Ben rushed to close the door, Michella still felt awkward about what had happened this morning. Michella hoped that Ben would open his voice first so he could reduce his awkwardness.

"Please have a seat, Michella. What would you like to drink?" Ben asked quietly.

"Just plain water."

"Okay, wait a minute," Ben said quietly and rushed to the kitchen to get mineral water.

While Michella was rushing to sit on the sofa, this was the first time that Michella had felt a soft sofa like this. Michelle looked around Ben's apartment which looked very luxurious.

Not long after, Ben came to bring a bottle of mineral water and also a bottle of red wine, Michella was shocked to see the bottle of wine which she thought was very expensive.

"Do you like wine?" Ben asked quietly.

Michelle smiled. "Yes, of course, I like it. But I've never drunk wine like that" exclaimed Michella, pointing at the bottle.

"This is the best red wine ever, you will like it." Ben immediately opened the cap of the wine bottle, then poured it into the glass.

Then Ben approached Michella and gave the glass of wine to Michella. "This is for you, Michella," mumbled Ben as he held out his glass to Ben.

"Thank you, Ben." cried Michella as she grabbed the glass from Ben's hand.

Michella immediately took a sip of her drink, in her heart she couldn't lie that this was the best wine she had ever tasted.

"How? Does it taste good?"

Michelle smiled a little. "This is the best wine I've ever tasted."

Ben was flabbergasted. "Is it true?"

"Yes, of course. I like it very much, can I add more?" Michelle shoved her glass at Ben.

"Of course!" Ben said happily and poured the wine back into Michella's glass.

"Thank you, Ben" Michella took another gulp of wine until there was nothing left. After that, he put the glass on the table.

then Michella looked at Ben with a sharp gaze, Michella's vision seemed blurry. He thought he was drunk, but he didn't let this happen. Because after all, he had to get Ben's explanation first.

"Now tell me, why did you leave me alone for no reason?" Michelle grumbled quietly.

Ben sighed. "I'm sorry Michella, I didn't mean it that way. Honestly, I was really scared to do that to you. I was afraid you'd be mad at me."

Michella was wide-eyed at Ben's words, Michella shifted her sitting position and pressed her body against Ben's body. Then whispered in Ben's ear softly and it gave Ben a slight chill.

"Ben, do you love me?" Michelle whispered.

Ben immediately changed his sitting position facing Michella, now their eyes were looking at each other. Ben didn't think that Michelle would ask such a question.

"Michella, are you sure about your question?" Ben asked quietly.

Michella sighed. "Of course! Because I want to know Ben."

"You want to know the answer now?" Ben got serious and looked into Michella's face.

"Yes, of course, I'd like to know your answer."

Ben put his hands on Michella's cheeks, then told Michella that he loved her. Hearing Ben's words, made Michella a little touched.

She didn't think that Ben loved her, without a second thought. Michelle immediately kissed Ben gently. Not to be outdone, Ben returned a kiss to Michella.
