Chapter 17: Princess Polaris?
Talia peeked at Arthur’s keyboard as he typed in the password to get in and it was all numbers. He then excused himself and turned his laptop for a minute away from her view making Talia furrow her brows.
What is he hiding?
In fact, Arthur had their wedding picture as his background and since his wife doesn’t want to reveal their relationship, he wanted to change it.
He took one more glance at the picture and his slender finger caressed the screen over her face. She was staring blankly while he couldn’t hold back his smile.
She looked terrible, her usual beauty masked by a veil of sorrow. Dark circles, messy hair, unfit white dress, pale face, her usually blushed cheeks were colourless and her plumpy cherry lips were broken... Did he notice this that day? Maybe he didn’t. Maybe he thought she looked fine because she looked more terrible the day before.
Could this even be considered a wedding picture and what happened between them considered a wedding? He wanted to hold on to... Whatever happened between them that day, while she decided to forget it. He would never blame her.
But now is not the time to ponder over those things.
He quickly changed the background to some scenery and opened the file containing their business plan.
Talia looked at his green eyes, lovely as the day she met him. She would be lying if she said she felt nothing sitting beside him like this.
But... It is impossible between them.
She saw the file with the brand name "Royal Vega Dairy"
