Capítulo 53: Eight to escape you

"Are you lost, Mia Amour?" The flirtatious Captain asked her in a teasing tone.

Before Persephone could answer him, she heard someone clearing his throat. Someone who she had been dying to see since this morning. Just kidding. 

"It seems Captain Gabriel is too free these days?"

Captain Gabriel stiffened as he heard Santiago's voice. Shit. Where did he come from? He was about to covet a certain beauty. Why must he throw cold water on his hot plans? Wasn't it enough that he had been working nonstop since the last forty-eight because of him? 

"Mr. Vit--"

"You may leave, Captain Gabriel," Santiago said without giving him a chance. Glancing at her, he said in a cold tone, "And you come with me." 

Satisfied with him, she nodded. 

Walking behind him, she turned her head to look at Captain Gabriel who was weirdly staring at them, and winked at him. She mouthed him, 'Thank you.'
