After coming back from the  school I sneek out of the palace in the evening to leave for the organization as nobody knows about my new project and if somebody catches me then they are definitely gonna ask billions of questions plus there is a fear that someone might follow me while I leave from front door due to increased media attention that Hell has caused .

So  when I reach my office desk I find my favourite frappichino resting in peace on my desk, Brandon must have bought it well in normal scenario I would have found it sweet but now that I know that he is upto something I am having second thoughts whether I should accept it or not.

while I was still having a mental conversation with myself Gina my secretary/friend spotted me.I had always dreamt of having an office and working in quiet atmosphere like my organization. After growing up in royal family I am used to all the attention , drama  and controversies but still it would be great to have a normal life for sometime where I can work and am free to love whoever I want without thinking if the person is not a detective or if he is elligble to be king consort . Some times I wish I could pass this crown to Hell and her son and get away with everything as this is what she wants but I know if I do so I will hurt Father as he already dislikes him.

"Hey Elenor, how are you , you seem like you are having really deep thoughts . Is there something I can help you with?"she said almost worringly.

"Nope, I am fine how is everything going in the office?"

"well we had sent sone invites to other space organizations including NASA which I know is your dream to work with they were generous enough to set a meeting next month with their chief in NASA headquarters. And yes one more thing Brandon would be expecting you in the senior lab."

"can you mail me the details of this meeting and also see who can  give me company in it, thank you"

"sure bye"

As I entre the senior lab I see Brandon and Mr.Brown (our senior scientist and also a jury member of the organization) working on the machine.

"Hey Ellie I almost thought that you forgot, now that you have come see we have finished building the time control panel we are half way there"

"well that's great how much more time will it take to finish ?"

"amost a month"

"perfect"

"well you young people carry on I will take my leave this old man needs some rest"Mr.Brown says lazily

"sure thank you for your help sir, goodnight"

"goodnight "

Brandon continues to work and I almost shamelessly start observing him like taking notes just to see if I am able to point out anything odd.To my fail instead of noticing odds I fall for him harder.He brushes past me to grab some screws and the proximity between us is way less than it should be, he looks into my eyes like he is trying to figure something out his colohne smells strong but at the same time  fainted due to the  coarse of time .

why does this has to happen with me ? I mean why is it that one person who sparks my whole body has to be some kind of detective or something.Anyways there is nothing much that I can do except than accept the reality.

Mrs.Smith wakes me up at around 10 in the morning well I was not surprised as I went to bed really late night.My room is partially occupied by some gowns and shoes with matching jewellery slowly I recall and start getting up as I have the charity ball tonight .Honestly this is my first solo ball my very first ball was on my 18th birthday last year after my coronation but I had my family and friends there for moral support. There I had my first dance with father as it is a tradition god knows who will I end up dancing with but before that I have to be there which is one big chaotic project in itself.

Mrs.Smith pull all the curtains of my room and start briefing me with all the details of the ball and also fills me in with some information to talk about with the fine people there.She shows me two three options of gowns which had already been altered according to my fit.Well  few reasons why people want to be a royalty is the dressing up but I don't get that opportunity very often due to my school and organization.

After trying all of then we collectively decided one, it was a light lavender gown which had a little trail behind it and had a sweet neckline and my collarbone and hands had extending lace as I do not like too much exposure of skin, I paired it with pumps of same color and little dimond earings . 

when I reached at the ball all the cameramen held still as I stepped out of the car, I enjoyingly come out of the car diana style and got a little dramatic after I walk down the little ramp going inside the room I was hit with a fragrance of white ginger and yiang which one of my favourites it is also considered to be one of the romantic sents.

I was greeted by the chairperson and his wife as soon as I entered I have known them for a while now and they are the sweetest couple I know and as they do not have child of their own they started an orphanage and treat those children like their own.
