“Of course not. Should we give it a deadline?” Christopher asked as he cupped my face.
Should there be a deadline for these kinds of stuff? “How long should it be?” I asked with a frown.
“Forever?”
My face flushed red and I quickly hopped off the car. His sweet words were like an arrow that had hit my heart and I couldn’t calm down. Forever? It seemed so wonderful and I was looking forward to it.
Even though I knew that he was the mighty prince Christopher, I wanted to bet my everything and be a part of his world.
I finally arrived at the company and managed to handle all my paperwork quite swiftly. However, Lyle called while I was in the middle of my work. I felt that there wasn’t anything between us to talk about anymore.
I went somewhere quiet before picking up the call. “If you’re still insisting that I hold a press conference for Crystal, I suggest that you should just shut up. Grandma meant for us to wait for her seventieth birthday, but it seems to me that it’s best if we don’t meet during these six months. Enjoy Crystal’s company during this time. Goodbye.”
He fumed when he was met with a rebuff. “You’ve said it yourself, Yvonne. Don’t regret it. Just treat it as though my conscience has been eaten by a dog, then.”
“Conscience? You’re talking to me about your conscience? I think you should save it.” With that, I hung up but I still felt as though my entire body was boiling. I shouldn’t have picked up the call. All it did was make me unhappy.
Fortunately, he didn’t know that I was working nor did he know where I was. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have a peaceful place to go to anymore. I had decided that I wouldn’t tell anyone that I was working, except for Christopher and Sabrina.
I suddenly thought of something when I entered the pantry to get myself a cup of tea. I didn’t recall telling Christopher where I worked. It wasn’t because I was trying to hide from him, I just forgot. I wondered how he managed to find my workplace and was so accurate with the location.
