The Love of a Prince

Chapter 24. Dinner With Charlotte

Edward parked his car in front of a fancy restaurant building. As usual Edward went down first, helping to open the car door for Laura.

With graceful steps Laura stepped inside the restaurant building. Once inside, Laura was immediately approached by a restaurant waiter, not sparing a few pairs of eyes shifted to him.

"Welcome, are you alone Miss ?" asked the lady waiter kindly.

Laura circulated her gaze looking for the whereabouts of Charlotte who had not yet come.

"I'm making a pact with my friend to meet here, but it doesn't look like he's here yet." Answer Laura.

The waiter's eyes were on Edward. "What about the man behind you ?"

Laura followed the direction of the servant's gaze. "She sits at her own table so pick two tables that are close together."

The female servant nodded in understanding. "Then please come with me."

Laura at Edward's tailing from behind walked up to the waiter who showed them the table.

"Please, here's your desk, miss." The waiter showed two tables that were next to each other but slightly apart.

"Thank you."

"Do you want to order food ?"

"I was waiting for you my friend just ordered a meal."

The waiter understood. "I'll excuse you then."

As the waiter walked away, Laura pulled out a chair for her to sit down with Edward sitting in her chair.

While waiting for Charlotte came Laura busy opening social media through her phone.

"Have you been coming Ara ?"

Charlotte's voice distracts Laura from her phone screen.

Charlotte pulled the chair in front of Laura and sat down.

"Initially I hesitated to enter, I'm not sure this is the address you sent." Charlotte told me with passion.

Laura frowned. "Why aren't you sure ?"

"Dear this is an expensive restaurant, are you sure we're eating here ? my credit card can cross the limit if I eat here."

"Let's just relax, this time I'm the last." Laura calms Charlotte down.

"Are you sure ?" Charlotte asked unsurely.

"Related." Laura said steady.

"Well, I can't possibly refuse a good free meal." Charlotte grinned widely.

"Then we better order some food right now." Laura raised one hand giving a code to call the waiter.

The waiter walked up to their table with a small book in his hand.

"What do you want to order ?" ask the waiter to write their order.

"He'll order the food." Laura looked at Charlotte who was reading a menu book.

Charlotte then mentions the ordered food to the waiter, finishes writing their order the waiter then leaves with a note of the food they ordered.

"What exactly do you want to tell me ?" ask Charlotte inquisitively.

"Yesterday there was an order from Her Majesty the Queen to give a lesson on manners." Laura story.

"really ?" Charlotte asked enthusiastically.

"Yes and this morning the lesson began."

"What lesson did you learn this morning ?"

"How to eat at a formal banquet."

"I know it's just that you know being a member of the royal family isn't what I want to be so it feels like a heavy burden to me." Complain Laura.

Charlotte put on a face of sympathy. "I understand your feelings Ara."

"In addition tomorrow I have to go with Prince Albert to Spain for a state meeting."

"really ?"

"Yes and I can't refuse not to go."

"Fuck...... Ara." Charlotte was shaking her head, upset by the reality.

"It's not just you who are wondering, I also almost every day think like that. If Bella had a good physique, this wouldn't have happened to me." Laura said with a heavy breath.

Their conversation came to a halt with the presence of the waiter carrying their ordered food.

"Edward didn't order food ?" Charlotte glanced at Edward's desk.

"Since when have you seen him eat while on duty ?" Laura asked back.

"Totally so." Charlotte crybaby.

"That was also the drink he ordered just because it wasn't nice to sit there without ordering anything."

"Well then we'll just eat, I'm hungry." Charlotte started eating her food.

They enjoyed their dinner with small talk between talking about their old friends and Charlotte's desire to get to work.

"I didn't go to the toilet for long." Laura stood up from her chair.

"Don't be long, I don't want to pay the bill if the waiter comes with the bill." Tempta Charlotte's.

"He he he, yes I won't be long." Kept Laura before turning away.

Laura went into the woman's toilet to wash her hands and tidy up her long hair that she had allowed to unravel, however she recalled Prince Albert's words that forbid long hair to be rolled up.

"Yes......!!!" Laura reflexively screamed as she felt pain in the back of her head, as a result of her suddenly drawn long hair.

"Basar women itch !! how dare you tease my lover !". The voice of a foreign woman shouted at him.

Laura held back her hair while staring at the reflection in the mirror, looking a woman who looked more mature than her looked at her with an extremely angry facial expression.

"Remove your hands from my hair !" Laura shouted back while still holding her hair so as not to feel too much pain in her scalp. The grip of the foreign woman's hand was so strong that Laura could not move and even turned to look directly at the woman's face.

"You little boy dare to snatch my lover, who do you think you are ?! You feel you're so pretty ?" Accuse the foreign woman of not having removed her hand grip from Laura's long hair.

"What do you really mean ? I don't understand !. I don't know you how I got to take your lover." Laura said on the sidelines of trying to remove her hair.

"Prince Albert." Said the woman suddenly taking off Laura's hair.

Laura turned to face the woman. "Why Prince Albert ?" laura asked between emotions and was confused by the circumstances that were going on.

"My love is Prince Albert." Answer the woman.

Laura frowned, emotion so knowing the reason the woman was being rude to her because of the person she didn't like.

"I have never taken your lover the fact we are in a match, you do not see the news spread in this country ?. If you love her so much and she loves you too then persuade her to call off this engagement, don't even rampage in front of me !" Laura said emotionally.

"Maybe it's true because of the matchmaking but you could have offered your body to get stuck and couldn't resist the engagement !" Accuse the foreign woman.

Laura shook her head, unable to believe her words. "I don't have time to fight with you to discuss this matter, you better meet with your lover to talk about your problems well. I have nothing to do with the trouble that's going on between the two of you." Laura said panted before turning away.

"You don't go straight away, we're not done yet !"

Srakh..!!!

The woman pulled Laura's dress so strongly from behind that it ripped her off.

Laura looked back at her dress. "What are you doing ?!" Laura was surprised, not believing what was happening.
