Chapter 176: Getting Hit On
Talia smiled doing the Royal wave to the photographers, trying not to blink as the flashes hit hard on her retina. She’s the one who chose this path. This red carpeted path with numerous eyes watching her that will catch her every moment, is the one she chose.
I can live with this! Although I will never love this attention.
If she needs to do something worthwhile using her name, this kind of attention on her is necessary.
Talia was then lead to the Grand Staircase where Louis and Cordelia Joined her too. They were welcomed by the staircase and the official pictures of the State Dinner were taken.
Then the President and the First Lady led them to the Yellow Drawing room. They were served with hors d’œuvres and wine to go with it and they were introduced to the invitees of the State Dinner. There were some celebrities, businessmen and mostly ranked officials and politicians in the Dinner.
Talia couldn’t help but grin as she shook her hands with Arthur and got introduced to him. She was trying to maintain her professional smile, but in the end couldn’t as Arthur tickled her hand with his finger.
"Princess Talia, " Taylor Finn, a standup comedian who was an invitee said as Talia was introduced to him. "You are so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line," he tried to kiss her hand and Talia tactfully got her hand back.
"You’re funny," Talia gave her best fake grin. He’s an actor, he must see I’m not pleased, right?
Talia was led to meet the next person, but Taylor still wasn’t willing to let Talia go, "Pardon me, but I think there’s something wrong with my eyes. I can’t take them off you," he tried to hold her hands and Talia took a step back.
His eyes had a nice shade of light brown and he did have symmetrical features that can be considered handsome. Above all, his smile was so charming, that anyone would be lost in it.
Too bad he is dumb!
