Graysen gives Rosa time to cool down. He lets her have some space, a vast one away from him. He never questioned her regarding her overflowing work schedules. He did not dare raise any objection of Rosa being away for a month even if they just tied the knot a few weeks ago. Rosa is not even talking to him, too. So how can he? He fully understands that it was his fault for this disagreement.
Madam Desta already talked to him and relayed to him about Rosa's schedules and her demands to go abroad. She advised Graysen to let Rosa be for the mean time. He does not have to worry as Brie would be accompanying Rosa all throughout the schedule. Most of Rosa's commitments are reputable international brands and they are aware of Rosa's new status in Ronia so her safety would be their utmost concern.
The Senate Chamber calls for an assembly after some hiatus. He recommences his duties of bill filing, deliberation, and amendments. He returns to his usual full calendar of facing the assembly and preparing privilege speeches during bicameral legislature. He is the Senate house's Secretary and the chairperson of the commission for economic trade, commerce, and industry.
His two assistants are swarmed with work once again the same as their boss.
Special executive assistant Mihai Albescu walks in directly to his office. Mihai Albescu is responsible in carrying out Graysen's every command and can decide on minor issues based on his own judgment to lessen Graysen's work load. He is a bright guy with blonde hair and hazel eyes, charming but very cautious. He was the legal associate closest to Graysen in their law firm before. He brought Mihai with him when he started occupying a parliamentary seat.
Mihai approaches Senator Graysen Andrei's table and says, "Senator, the office of the Minister of Trade and Commerce informs us that there will be a convention together with the Commerce Sector Leaders this coming Friday. Minister Tabasco sends his wish for you to grace the ceremonial opening and deliver an uplifting speech for the sector leaders."
Cabinet Minister PepperTabasco is Senator Graysen's political party colleague. He is part of the team gearing Graysen to be Ronia's next prime minister.
Senator Andrei stands and wearily walks out of the office. Mihai follows Graysen to the elevator pressing the basement parking level. Paulus, his other assistant, opens the car door for him. Graysen props his body in and leans back on the seat with his eyes closed. Mihai turns over to Paulus a leather bag containing documents. Paulus drives out of the Senate Chamber building followed by another car of security.
Paulus Cioban is always at the beck and call of Senator Graysen. So, wherever Graysen Andrei is, there he will be. He lives in the Andrei's villa in a cottage situated near the main house. Paulus comes from a family of shepherds in a village in the east boarder of Ronia. Since he was the driver and bodyguard from the time the Senator was still in the university, he then becomes Graysen's most trusted confidante. He is a bulky guy but can remain inconspicuous while keeping Graysen safe. He remains humble working with Graysen. Nobody in his family and friends except for a few knew of his status as Graysen's body man.
Graysen arrives at the mansion already late at night. It is empty of people as almost everybody had gone to dream land. He enters another empty space – their bedroom. He recalls Rosa is somewhere in Asia for her endorsement contract.
