She Will Always Be My Queen!

Additional Chapter 167: Arthur Anthony 6.

Standing in the balcony of her office, Grace wondered how she ended in such an ironic situation. The son of Nicole Anthony, who himself was a very successful doctor, was going to work under her. She would rather prefer to work under him. 

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

" Come in," Grace said in her indifferent voice. 

" Creak " The door opened and sharply polished boots followed by slender legs in military uniform entered.

" Grace."

Seeing Arthur, Grace was stunned for a moment but quickly smiled back.

" Prince Arthur! You are here."

" Yeah, I arrived early."

" Please sit." She politely offered.

" You too."

As they sat face to face, the situation was a bit awkward for them. Finally, Grace broke the silence.

" I really didn't expect you to come here."

" Well... " Arthur just smiled. 

" Why are you not taking the position of the chief?"

" It's hectic. Moreover, I want to work like a normal person. Instead of as a son of my mother."

" Please! Even without your mother, you are still at the level of being a chief."

" I just don't want to."

" ... To be honest, this is really ironic for me. I am in an awkward situation. You are obviously better than me yet I have to be your superior. That's... That's just not comfortable!"

" I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable but let's try at least. We can change things anytime. No one's running away after all."

" If you say so... "

" So since we are done talking about work, how about we go for lunch together? If you are busy, please say so. No formalities."

Grace was shocked at first with his unexpected invitation. However, she smiled and then said.

" Even if I was busy, I can definitely take some time off for Prince Arthur."

" I am honoured."

" No, it's my pleasure." 

Grace took out her coat and put it on the hanger. Then she walked out with Arthur. Today, she was wearing a simple but elegant black t-shirt and a slim knee-length white skirt. Currently, she had her hair open as it flowed fearlessly by the wind. 

When they reached the car, Arthur gentlemanly opened the door for her. Grace was shocked by his politeness despite being a Prince but she didn't show it on her face. Just as she was about to step inside the car, her phone rang. 

After seeing the number, her eyes unconsciously become alert as she stopped her movements. 

Seeing that, Arthur looked at her. After a moment, Grace remembered that Arthur was still there. She looked up at him as their eyes met. After staring at him for a moment, she come back to her senses, smiled apologetically at him and said. 

" Sorry! It's an important call. May I pick it up?"

" Do you need to ask me that?" Arthur raised his right eyebrow.

Grace was stunned. Then she again smiled at him and stepped aside to take the call.

" Hello? Yes, it's me! Is everything alright?... What?... Oh... No, wait. I will be there... Ok... Please take care of her!"

Arthur heard her unintentionally. It seemed like she would need to go.

" Ahem... Prince Arthur, I am really sorry. It seems like there is an emergency. Can I... Can I go?" Grace hesitated. After all, no matter how polite he was, he was after all the Prince of Alencica.

" You don't need to be so polite. Please go. I can understand. May I drop you?"

" No. No I will go in my car." Fortunately, she had her keys with her. She nodded at Arthur and turned around to go towards her car. Just when she walked a few steps, she heard Arthur's voice.

" Miss Allison, I would appreciate it if you treat me as a colleague instead of a Prince. I don't like being treated as Prince by someone I know." Arthur was very serious when he said that. 

Grace halted her steps hearing his voice and turned around. Looking at his serious eyes and tone, she instinctively stiffened. When he finished his sentence, she finally gathered her senses and nodded.

" I understand."

" Thank you. And also, please don't call me Prince. You can call me by my name."

" O-Okay."

" Well then, take care while you drive." Saying that he sat in his car.

" You too." She said back.

" Hmm."

Grace was shocked by his behaviour but she had something more going on in her mind so she soon put it aside and forgot about it. She rushed back with her car. 

Meanwhile, Arthur didn't start his car and was still in the basement. He looked into nowhere where the car had passed by. Then while resting his head on the back, he closed his eyes to think. If his comrades saw this, they will be shocked and alert. 

Arthur was very intelligent. As a secret agent, they are required to think and sort out things in seconds without changing their expressions. Of course, not everyone was that perfect but Arthur was the epitome of it. Only in a really dire and complicated situation, Arthur would close his eyes to think. When he closes his eyes and concentrate, his IQ reached a new level and his brain worked faster than ever. If he would be checked by doctors, it would probably shock them senseless.

However, here he was, thinking about Grace so seriously. When it concerns his beloved ones, he always thinks for the best. After a long time, he opened his eyes and drove out.
