Chapter 221 - He Sent Only A Message
All the things to be considered before choosing the restaurant and the way to bring the princess over without making it look like she got kidnapped had to be taking into note.
Gray went to her house which was weird since he did not have any training session with her that day and they did not have any close personal relationship.
Rose was in her study waiting for the assignment she just finished to all get printed out with her back resting on the backrest of the chair in a tired inelegant manner while glancing frequently at her phone.
When she heard a soft knock on door of her study, she sat up with her back straight and she subconsciously reached towards the keyboard of her laptop.
"Your highness, your trainer, Mr Jefferson came to see you. Should we let him in?" her assistant asked.
She turned and looked at the lady confused at first but remembering their relationship was not only that of a trainer and trainee but he was also her husband's closest subordinate, she smiled and nodded.
Her assistant remained her spot while looking at her with a blank expression not giving away what she was thinking.
"Yes, let him in. Bring him here to the study," she was forced to state it out word for word with the way the lady stared at her.
The assistant looked unsure of what she heard perhaps because she has not received any visitor in her study.
"You heard me," she had to say to cement her order on the mind of her assistant.
"I will bring him over immediately," the assistant accepted the order and left closing the door gently behind her.
Rose looked at the screen of her laptop as her mind began running wild. She thought of different absurd possibilities that could bring him to visit her without prior information or invitation.
Waiting for the man took only some minutes considering how large her palace was but she felt like it was eternity and it took her a lot of self restraint to stand up and go to him herself.
When gentle knock that came before she ordered him to come in had her heart beating fast. What did Liam have in store for her that made him send his subordinate?
Perhaps he had a big surprise for her or he wanted to tell her something great?
When the man entered the study and bowed slightly to him, she waved off the guards that followed him in.
"Your highness . . ." her assistant began but she simply waved her off.
"Sit down," she offered him a seat while trying hard not to act based on the amount of adrenaline surging through her veins.
"Thank you, Your highness," he appreciated with a slight bow before sitting as she ordered him to.
"What must have brought you here must be of great importance, right?" she asked him while glancing at the screen of her laptop and occasionally tapping on the keyboard.
"Yes, your highness," he replied her easily.
She could not hold back the smile that lifted the corner of her lips but she still glanced at the screen of her laptop as though not giving his words great importance.
"So, what is it? I am very busy, right now," she told him as she licked on an irrelevant icon on the screen of her laptop.
"My boss wants to have dinner with you," he replied.
Her hand on the mouse froze. She raised her head to look at him as anger slowly brewed from within and she tried hard not to lift the book close to her and fling it without caring about where it lands.
He ignores her call for all these while and instead of sneaking under her covers and embracing her while sweet talking her into forgiving him, he sent his subordinate to invite her over.
She could not hold back an inelegant puff before standing up. "Tell him, I have no intention of talking to him anytime soon and that is because . . . If he wants the reason then he might as well find me himself," she ordered him to relay the message to his boss.
She closed her laptop in a hard manner that will have you pitying her innocent laptop before she stood up and pushed her chair back.
"We are done talking you can go," she told him without pausing or glancing back as she stormed to the door.
She paused in front of the door and inhaled deeply while counting one to ten. Afterwards, she opened the door with a gentle expression and nodded to the guard at the door who bowed at her.
She entered her room and went to the bathroom closing the door of the bathroom with the intention of making it give a satisfyingly loud bang but the door slowed and closed.
She glanced at the door and scoffed before walking to the sink. After splashing water on her face, she took deep breaths while leaning on the sink.

Liam frowned when he heard Grey's report but he said nothing as he continued reading the article on the screen of his phone.
Charles on the side with his tablet, bowed his head thoughtfully. The article was a serious issue and he wondered how this man was going to take care of it.
His boss will simply ignore it but he was anxious to know how this man will react.
"Get the reporter brought to my basement," Liam replied as he pressed the power button of his phone and placed it screen down on the table.
Charles inhaled deeply. He felt the hairs all over his body rise at the thought of what will before the person who was unlucky enough to release the article with the pictures that accompanied it.
Reporters were not bold enough to upload such a thing about his boss already a few ignorant ones were lucky enough due to his boss' busy schedule but whoever this reporter was, he chose the wrong time to mess with his boss.
