Laws Of Royalty ✅

CH41; AILE.

Aria's new secretary introduced herself to Aria before brushing her up on everything she needs to know. Aria loved how nice the woman seemed. The woman, who happens to be about a decade older than her treated Aria with utmost respect she could give to anyone she works for. And in return, Aria gave her the same amount of respect.

But not even her conversation with the woman could tell Aria's mind off heraile (family). She had a feeling that something is wrong, despite a part of her trying to brush it off that it's probably nothing.

Maybe they are busy. The part of her suggested.

And for the benefit of not getting worried, Aria decided to try to reach out to them later assuming they are busy at the moment. However, if she still can't get a hold of them by then, she would take further advances.

When the secretary left, Aria went through the work of arranging the documents given to her in order. She was told that she will be announced to the others after break as they are all occupied at the moment, and despite knowing she ought to feel nervous being the new worker and all, she was perfectly calm.

Except for the part of her that wondered whether she is wrong to think her family is busy at the moment and not that something is wrong with them.

Pushing the thoughts aside, she unbuttoned the jacket and went to work. It took about an hour to sort out everything but she managed to do it with no disturbances. When she was done, she slumped back in her chair, throwing her head back. The sound of the intercom buzzing had her sitting up. Sliding the chair closer to the desk, she pressed a button on the intercom. "Attorney Aria speaking"

"Attorney" Came a voice that sounded a bit familiar to Aria. "There's a delivery for you at the reception" The woman added, and that was when Aria recognized the voice as that of the receptionist she met earlier.

But after that realization her brows furrowed, as she thought of what she was told again. A delivery? She wasn't expecting any delivery from anyone.

"A delivery?" She voiced out the question in her head.

"Yes" She could imagine the woman nodding her head when she said that, "There's a delivery man here saying he was asked to deliver something to you"

Aria blinked, cracking her brain to see if she could think of anyone that would send her a delivery. As far as she is concerned, only Aali and Hudayya knew she has started working in the law firm.

Could the delivery be from her husband?

She released a sigh, her index finger lightly tapping the glass table. A couple of seconds later, she made her mind up. "Alright. Send it up"

"We can't do that ma'am. You have to come get it yourself as no one is allowed on that floor without a written permission"

"Okay" She agreed without any argument. She didn't see the point in going through all that when she can get it herself.

Ending the call, she got out of her chair and fixed back the buttons of the jacket. Picking up her phone, she headed out of the office before making her way over to the elevator where she pressed the ground floor button.

She hummed lightly as the elevator went down, the only sound heard being of the soft classy music being played in the background. A ding sound came, indicating that she has reached her destination. The doors slid open, and Aria is once again met with the sound of voices from every angle as the people went about their work.

It's so different from the quiet floor where she works. This floor is filled with life, as some people were littered around the place while some passed by, either alone, talking to a colleague, or on the phone. Shaking those thoughts off, she made her way over to receptionist where another man stood by the table, dressed in a grey sort of uniform—probably from a delivery service place. Her thoughts were confirmed when she saw the delivery service badge on his shirt.
