Chapter 60 - Working all day (1/2)

” How boring ! I thought we could go for some shopping today ! Since Aria is busy , I will go and review my winter draft . ” said Mana and left Helios's office .

” She doesn't look like someone who was kidnapped yesterday . ” said Helios while looking at the file he had in his hand .

” That's Mana ! Have you learned anything about the people who kidnapped her ? ” said Bekora with a smile .

” I told Ramolo to investigate and he will send the information tonight . After I receive it I will send it to you . I know you wanna deal with this matter on your own . ” said Helios looking at Bekora .

” Thanks ! ” said Bekora with a smirk and then his phone rang . It was from the company .

” It looks like all of us are busy today . I will go and deal with my work now , see ya later bro ! ” said Bekora waving at Helios .

” Sure see ya ! ” said Helios and Bekora left .

Helios started to work on his computer and files . He was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even notice he had skipped lunch time . Helios was planning to continue working but a knock on the door made him stop .

” Enter ! ” said Helios .

When the door opened there was a maid who was holding a cup of black royal coffee and a light snack .

” Your Highness ! Her Majesty knew that you skipped lunch because you were working so she ordered me to serve your lunch in your office . Her Majesty thought that you needed a light lunch with a cup of black royal coffee . ” said the maid and put Helios's lunch to his desk where he was working .

” Am I the only one who wasn't present for lunch ? ” asked Helios while looking at the statistics .

” No , Your Highness ! Her Highness , princess Mana and sir Bekora also skipped lunch . The both of them had their lunch on their office . The queen ate alone today . ” said the maid .

” What about miss Aria ? ” asked Helios a bit surprised that his grandma ate without her .

” Miss Aria is still at the library working . When I went to deliver her lunch she didn't even touch it cause she was too focused on the books . She only drank the frappucino that sir Bekora ordered for her . ” said the maid .

” When did Bekora meet with Aria ? ”

” Hal an hour ago Your Highness but they didn't talk much as miss Aria was too focused on her work.” said the maid .

” Okay , you may leave now ! ” said Helios and the maid bowed then left .

Helios decided to take a little break and eat the salad with tomatoes . After finishing the salad he ate two of the biscuits that were covered with honey and kept thinking about how strange it was that Aria hadn't eaten anything .

' She didn't eat the food but she drank Bekora's frappucino . Is she insinuating that the food in the royal palace isn't comparable to a frappucino ?!...what I have learned about her these days is that she would never skip a meal , under no circ.u.mstance ! Is she really focused on her job this much ?! ' thought Helios a bit annoyed .

His computer suddenly made a noise which disturbed Helios's thoughts . He realised that the break was over and had to get back to work . A lot of things were waiting for him to be solved them .

' I have a lot of work left to do ! Guess I will have to eat dinner at my office too . I will go and take a look at what she's doing when I finish . ' thought Helios and continued to look at the files .

Queen Margrethe was also busy with the organisation of Klara's birthday party . She was taking care of everything , of the decorations , of the menu , of her dress and the invitations too . When dinner time came , the maid told the queen that dinner was served . Queen Margrethe didn't even understand how time flew by and it was already dinner time .

” Make sure to call Mana , Helios , Bekora ! ” said the queen .

” Your Majesty , princess Mana and sir Bekora came . They are waiting for you at the dining hall . ” said the maid with a smile .

” Very well ! What about Helios ? ” asked the queen .

” His Highness said that he was still working and would take his dinner in the office . ” said the maid .

” Okay ! Make sure to bring his dinner as fast as possible . ” said queen Margrethe and went to the dining hall .

When the doors opened , she saw that Bekora and Mana were waiting for her .

” Grandma , we were waiting for you . ” said Mana with a smile .

Queen Margrethe rushed towards Mana and hugged her tightly . She forgot the formalities and was only focused on hugging her dear granddaughter who had gone through a harsh time .
