Chapter 56 - Gaile's End 4

Kira has woken up by the ringtone of her phone.

She reached for her phone with her eyes closed.

She's still sleepy but she was disturbed by her phone's sound!

'Who would call her so early in the morning?'

Kira swiped her phone without opening her eyes and brings it to her ear, " Hello?" She answered with her groggy voice.

"Hey, Kira!" Lea said sweetly, afraid to be scolded by her friend for calling early in the morning.

"Uh," Kira replied.

" Did I wake you up?" Lea asked again.

"Uh," Kira replied the same.

"Why did you call?" She asked lazily.

"Ummm..." Lea seems like she's having a second thoughts.

"Why?" Kira asked again.

" I called to ask you something," Lea said.

" What is it?" Kira asked with her eyes still closed.

"I just... I just wonder if you know Coby's address?" Lea asked.

Kira's eyes automatically opened!

"What?" She blurted out.

"Did you just ask me for Coby's address?"

Kira asked Lea, she is not sure if she heard it right or if she was just hearing things?

Why would Lea suddenly ask for Coby's address?

As of what she knows, Lea hated Coby, so what happened?

"Did you just asked me about Coby's address?" She asked again.

It took Lea a few seconds before she was able to reply, "Ennn..."

"Why?" Kira asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you said you hate him? Why did you suddenly ask for his address?"

Lea is almost speechless by her friend's interrogation.

"H-Hey..."

"Lea is there something between you and Coby?" Kira asked straight forward.

Lea almost choke by her friend's question!

"H-hey... You're being straight forward!" Lea complained.

"It is not like what you think!" She added.

"So, what is your reason for asking his address, then?" Kira asked in a teasing tone.

"Hey, Kira, I owe something to that robot man," Lea replied.

"You owe him?" Kira's brows raised.

"Yeah, I owe him gratitude."

"How come?" Kira doesn't stop asking.

Lea tells Kira what happened last night, from the arrival of the robber to how Coby helped and saved everyone inside the store.

"Oh!" Kira blurted out, "So, Coby had become your hero last night?" Kira teased Lea.

" And you're going to give him those medicines?" she added.

"Yes!" Lea replied.

"But the thing is..." Kira paused for a moment.

"I don't know his address." She continued.

"Oh!" Lea blurted out.

Kira notices her friend's disappointment.

Coincidentally, Tim wrapped his arm around her waist.

Kira turned her head to Tim who is awake now.

She smiled as an idea flashed into her mind!

"But I can ask someone for his address!" Kira said with her gaze on Tim.

"Really?!" Lea's voice became energetic.

"Yeah, just wait for a moment, " Kira said, and she put down her phone and turn her head to her husband again.

"Hubby..." Kira called Tim sweetly.

"Hmmm?" Tim looked at his wife.

"May I ask you something?" Kira asks again.

"What is it?"

"Do you know Coby's address?"

Tim knitted his brows, "Why would you ask?" Tim asked suspiciously.

"..."

Kira becomes speechless.

"What's with that look, huh?!" Kira complained.

"Why are you asking for my assistant's address?"

"Ummm... Lea is asking me." Kira replied.

"Oh!"

" Route two, in the second street, you can see the El Madera Apartment, he lives on the fourth floor, room thirty-eight," Tim replied.

Kira put her phone on her ears again, " You heard that?" She asked her friend.

"Ennn..." Lea nodded her head.

"Thanks!" She said before she ended the call and put her phone on her bag again.

The second street is just a walking distance from the drug store.

Lea stopped in front of the El Madera Apartment.

She looks at the big and tall building in front of her.

"So, he lives in this big apartment!" Lea exclaimed.

'El Madera Apartment is for the middle-class ranked people.'

Lea entered the building and headed to the elevator.

In just a few minutes, she already reached the fourth-floor.

Lea got out of the elevator and looks for room thirty-eight, fortunately, it's not difficult to look for it.

Lea stopped in front of the door and press the doorbell.

Coby had just done wash up and he is wiping his face with a white and clean towel when he heard his doorbell rung.

Coby's hand automatically stopped as he looked at the door.

He walks towards the door and checked who's outside through the front door camera and his brows automatically knitted when he saw Lea.

"What is she doing here?" He mumbled to himself.

Coby opened the door.

Lea notice the door opened, "Good mo---" Lea's next words were stuck in her mouth when he saw Coby!

She doesn't know why, but she felt like her world has slowed down, and her heart skipped a beat!

Though his hair is a bit messy, he still looked attractive!

He is just wearing a plain white shirt, but he looked so manly!

This is her first time to see him wearing white aside from black.

'Oh, how can he look perfect even with that simple shirt he is wearing?'

'He doesn't look like a robot or a grim reaper with that shirt!'

"Lea?" Coby called Lea when he notices her in a daze.

"Huh?!" Lea snapped back to her senses!

"What's the matter?"

"Why you're in a dazed?"

Lea gulped!

"Uhm, "

"I... I... you looked more attractive with that white shirt!" Lea said.

"..."

There is no reaction from Coby.

Lea almost bit her tongue when she realized what she said.

There is awkwardness between the two of them.

"Uhm..." Lea tried to find a word to say.

"What are you doing here, anyway?" Coby asked after a while.
