Chapter 350 : Kiss

Chapter 350 : Kiss

I look intently at Prince Joachim. I also don't understand why does he seem so concerned about how I address people? What does it have to do with him?

Prince Joachim quirks his lips, but I don't know if I see that right since it's only a matter of seconds. "I just heard you calling Prince Rufus by his name before." He then shrugs his shoulders.

I look at him and frown. I want to ask him when did he hear me call Rufus by his name only because I am sure I never do that with people around. However, if I ask Prince Joachim, that will prolong my conversation with him. What I want right now is to get away from him as far as possible.

I know Prince Joachim didn't do anything wrong with me. I just feel uncomfortable when I am with him. I have been feeling this ever since I met him five years ago. Which still made me curious about how I feel like this with him.

I just smile at him and continue eating my meal in peace. And it seems like Prince Joachim noticed that I am trying to focus on eating. That's why he eats his meal in peace too. He would just ask me random questions from time to time which I also answered. It would be rude not to.

After the meal, Prince Joachim asked me if I wanted to have a walk with him for a couple of minutes, but I just made up an excuse that I was busy with my work. So, he has no other choice but to bring me back to the Foundation. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.come Csille, I hope we can have a meal again. I have a great day, so I was hoping you could join me again."

I almost wanted to make a face when I heard what he said. A meal with him? I don't think I want that. I already have a lot of things to take care of. I don't want to stress myself over a meal with you. So, no.

However, I cannot bluntly refuse him. I am still thinking of an excuse I can make when someone speaks behind us.

"Sure, we will be gladly join you with a meal. Just inform us when do you want to have a meal with us so we can both clear our schedule."

I frown. What is Prince Fraser doing here? And what's with his tone? Why does he sound mad at Prince Joachim? I bow my head at Prince Fraser and do a curtsy. "Greetings, your highness. May I know what you are doing here?"

After my last conversation with him, when he asked me why I didn't inform him that I had collapsed and when he told me he would correct things, I didn't see him visit the Foundation even once. If Rufus and I didn't follow him and Princess Paislee in the garden restaurant, I wouldn't even be updated on what was happening in his life. So, what is this guy doing here? Prince Fraser stares at me with his cold eyes. I suddenly feel a shiver in my spine with the way he looks at me. It's too cold. Although I don't see any anger in it, I still feel scared. What is this guy doing here? Every time he will show in the Foundation, he always brings bad news to me. I wonder what bad news will he spill to me today.

I break from Prince Fraser's hold and bow my head at the two Princes. I need to get out of here now before something unexpected happens again. "Your highnesses, Prince Fraser and Prince Joachim, I will be taking my leave now. I still have other things to do. So, please excuse me. You can continue your conversation there."

I didn't wait for their response and immediately rushed inside the Foundation after I said those words. I would rather work the whole day than to deal with these two princes again.

I bump into Lilla on my way to my office. "Dame Csille, you look like you have seen a ghost. What happened?"

A ghost? I would rather see a ghost than to be in the situation earlier. I made a face at Lilla. "What happened? It is way worst than seeing a ghost, Lilla." I shake my head. With that kiss, I almost see the grim reaper. I'm sure something terrible will happen again.

I put the document down and sighed. It's only been a couple of minutes have passed after the kiss, but my mind couldn't stop replaying that scene. I slump my head on my table. No matter how much I try to focus on work, I couldn't help but think about what happened earlier. What is that kiss about? Why did he kiss me in front of Prince Joachim? I don't understand why he would do that.

I groan out of frustration. My mind and my heart are in total chaos already because of that kiss. I don't know if I should be happy or scared because it happened. My heart couldn't help but feel happy because Prince Fraser kissed me. But my mind is telling me to be scared because something terrible will happen as a consequence of going against the storyline.

"What am I supposed to do?" I whispered to myself. "I think you should freshen yourself up."

I immediately sit up straight when I hear that familiar voice. That familiar voice who always ruins my plan. "Your highness? You haven't left?"

What is this Prince doing in here? I thought he had already left with Prince Joachim? How come he is here again? What does he want from me? Prince Fraser raises his eyebrow. "Are you driving me away, Dame Csille?"

If I want to, will you leave? I heave a sigh and shake my head. As much as I want to say those words at him, I know I couldn't do that. With Prince Fraser's temper? I'm sure it will just bring me trouble if I did. "Your highness, that's not what I mean. I just thought you left already. That's why I said that. May I know what you are doing here?"

Prince Joachim sits on the chair in front of my table even if I haven't invited him. He then stares at me for a couple of seconds. "I am here to fetch you."
