Chapter 62: Titles and Troubles
Talia cussing Arthur in her heart, wrapped herself in her coat since she felt a little chilly. She really liked to dress warm.
After travelling for an hour in that sinful traffic, she reached the restaurant and as she entered, she saw a clerk welcoming her. A coat check attendant got her coat and she was respectfully brought to the top floor of the restaurant that looked more regal with many round tables and at one glance, she could see only few people there. Most of them weren’t the patrons of the restaurant but paparazzi from Esteria.
She hid her annoyance with a smile. Even though she predicted this would happen, she still felt irked to be there. She walked towards Prince Edward who was walking towards her with a dazzling smile. If she was some maiden with Cinderella dreams, she’d have fallen for that man looking like a fallen angel with angelic charm.
"Lady Talia, you should have allowed me to pick you up!" he placed his hand on her arm and leaned for a kiss on the cheek and Talia effectively took a side step.
’Dude! We are not that close to greet with a kiss! Is this for the cameras around us? ’
"Your highness is not blaming me for being late, are you?" she smiled and in the pretense of looking at her watch, got her arm out of his grip,
"I’m on time!" she chuckled sweetly and held out her other hand for a shake.
She could see the little flicker in the clear sapphire eyes of Prince Edward and to not being awkward her shook her hand in return.
"Of course Lady Talia is on time as always! A lady is never late. It’s the men who are early," he said jokingly and lead her to the table and even pulled the chair for her.
