She asked, “Why do you want to hide mosquito marks?”
I rolled my eyes again at her interrogation and said, “Because it is in the wrong place and not looking nice. Now, will you tell me quickly? I’m getting late for work.”
Vi: “Where is the mark?” Now Sherlock is awake.
Me: Why do you want to know?”
Vi: Tell me. You know you are getting late, right?
Me: I groaned and said, “On my neck.
Vi: Oh!
Me: Oh what?
Vi: Just nothing?
Me: I raised my one eyebrow and asked, “Just what?”
Vi: How big was the mosquito?
Me: “Why? Are you going to send a search squad for him? And how would I know?”
Vi: Ya, I might, and if you don’t know, then who will know?
Me: Will you stop it and tell me what to do before I kill you?
Vi: I asked a simple question about how big a mosquito was. 6 feet?
Me: Hearing her, I became a cherry tomato. And started coughing.
Vi: She started laughing like a madwoman. And said, “Oh, my munchkin, you are too cute. You don’t need to hide anything from me. You could’ve asked me directly how to hide your hickey, darling.”
Me: I rolled my eyes and said, “Whatever, now, will you?”
Vi: Take the concealer and apply it first, then apply the foundation, and you are good to go.
Me: I did, and it was gone like never before. I smiled like a kid and said thank you, my Vi-Vi. You are a lifesaver.”
Hearing me, she said, “Whatever now reaches the office fast, I am waiting for each detail about the mosquito. So, hurry up.”
I shake my head, bid goodbye, and run downstairs after taking my bag.
I reached the dining room and said, “Mom, I am leaving.”
Mom asked me to eat, but I denied it, saying I was getting late. Mom gives me a disapproving look, and then I hear Sanya’s voice saying, “It is ok, Mom, let her go; she will eat something at the office; she is no longer a baby.”
Hearing this, I look at her and notice her frustrated expression, but she instantly changes the moment she notices me looking at her and smiles.
I felt a little weird, but I ignored it and rushed towards my car, and, oh, my bodyguard opened my car door for me and wished me good morning. One set is on the driver’s seat, and the other set is beside the driver.
I roll my eyes, but I cannot help but huff and ask their names, and I got to know James and Aiden.
I looked outside and got lost in my thoughts about yesterday’s event, got a blush on my cheeks, and then messaged him a quick good morning.
In twenty minutes, we reached my office and rushed towards the building, and James, my bodyguard, started following me.
Seeing this, I stopped and asked him, “Where do you think you are going?”
“Behind you, My Queen. I have been ordered to be with you like a shadow.” He replied politely.
Hearing this, I could not control my anger and called Azar. In a two-ring, he picks up and says, “Missing me already, My Queen?”
His husky voice calms me a little, but again I remember why I called, so I am back to my angry version of what I asked. “Did you ask bodyguards to be with me like a shadow?”
which he said, “Hmmm.”
And that made me angrier. “You know that I am not a queen as yet, and this is my office. It is so embarrassing for me.”
“My Queen, I told you before and again that I am not going to take any chance on your security.” Hearing me, he spoke again.
I closed my eyes, calmed myself a little, and explained to him. “Sire, this is my office. I work here like normal people do. I don’t want to be the talk of the town. I understand your concern, and I am not even arguing about that, but please keep them out of my office. I am okay with them everywhere, but not in the office. Please try to understand.”
He did not say anything for a few seconds. I know he is angry, but my reason is valid too.
“Ok, they will be outside your office, but apart from this, there is no way or no place where they will not follow you. Ok?” Finally, his business mind spoke.
“Absolutely, thank you so much now. Bye, I am getting late.” I smiled and said, I know I can’t do anything else than this right now.
And again, he said, “Hmmm.”
I smile internally. I know he is angry, but I will make it up later. First, I have to reach my floor as soon as possible, so I rush towards the office. I was behind while waiting for a lift. The bodyguard was talking over the phone and nodding in agreement, and I know whose call it is.
I went into the lift, pressed the button on my floor, and reached there in a few seconds.
I went directly into my cabin, started checking my upcoming designs, and heard the knock. I look up and notice Vi is peeking inside. Looking at her, I rolled my eyes and told her, Vi, I am busy, and I will talk to you at lunchtime.”
Hearing me, she pouted and said, “Ok, I’ll be waiting.”
I have been working for hours, and it is lunchtime already.
Suddenly, I thought about my wedding. I need to apply for my leave, but Sire has not given me a proper answer to why I am working. Is that okay with him or not? So, I decided to call him and ask him. I dialled his number, went towards the window, and looked at the Stockholm traffic.
He picks up my caller and says, “Hmmm.” I smile at this, so he is still angry.
“You had your lunch?”
