" welp " she looked around the Empty in-closets hoping to find a dress or any clothe for that matter .
Slowly after searching the whole room , she sat down on the bed and hid her face in the palm of her hands sulking .
" knock knock " She heard a faint whisper from the door of the entry-way . She rose slowly and opened the door to a middle aged woman who seemed to be the cleaning lady .
" oh ! It's okay ma'am , there's nothing here that needs to be cleaned " Elizabeth smiled at her and waved her hand dismissively .
The woman looked confused . " too bad , i am not the cleaner " she walked in uninvited.
Elizabeth stared at her in horror. " oh my god sorry , i'm so sorry you don't even know how bad this is is . Oh god sorry "
The woman laughs . " Mr.Langlery asked me to come over with some of your clothes "
" oh " She turned red .
" i used to be his Caregiver when he was still an infant " she said slowly displaying couple of red dresses down .
Elizabeth stared at them with wide eyes . " uh" she blurred out .
The woman noticed the blush creeping in Elizabeth cheeks when she saw her eyeing the dresses.
" these are Ambroise favorites " she commented making Elizabeth feel more nervous than she did already .
" i fig-" she gulped down . " figured "
" his favorite color is red . Amalia Rozana " she gestured for her hand toward her .
Elizabeth took it and gave it a simple tight shake . " Elizabeth Wayn "
Amalia's eyebrow's rose spontaneously. " you aren't Married to That Politician "
Elizabeth shyly nodded . " i am "
" but .... you like Ambroise " she smiled
" N-No " she sounded very hesitant .
" oh yeah , i definitely believe you " she told her sarcastically. " i'll leave you to it "
And just like that she left the room .
Elizabeth looked like she was about to have a melt down when she went through the options laid next to her .
There was a dress above the knees , one that touched the ground , and the last one was very short and tight.
She looked through them and decided to go with the long one . Little did she know , it had a long cut between the thighs , so long it almost showed her panties.
Putting a black coat over , she left the room and headed toward the lobby where Lieutenant Jasper waited for her .
He eyes her up and down with a wicked grin . When she walked passed him , she heard him say . " he does know how to dress'em "
She gave him a 'really?' Look and he turned away , blushing .
They left to a more beautiful private restaurant . The insides was just as beautiful as the outside .
" Your highness , would you like to take off your coat ?" The waitress halfway runs toward the door , greeting them as they walk in .
" sure " Elizabeth shrugs off her coat and the waitress takes it for her .
" m'lady , Chief Ambroise is waiting for you in the second floor , i will take my leave now " Lieutenant Jasper bows .
" wait — " she looks at him in disbelief. " but—"
" your highness , Chief instructed the whole staff to leave you both alone who are we to defy that ?" Jasper piercing eyes stare down at her .
Without letting her argue further , he took his leave and the rest of the restaurant get emptied right away .
The staff are all walking away from the restaurant before the doors were entirely closed and the chef salutes her before waking away .
Elizabeth just looked around , from the art decors placed around the walls to the well clothed tables with beautiful flowers and candles that were lit displaying a romantic Aura .
Her heart was pounding so hard inside her chest when she walked up the stairs and toward the empty long hallway before she enters a private room where Ambroise stands by the long glass window looking outside .
She was taken back by the beautiful scenery outside and right in front of her , letting out a faint gasp of what she thought was very breathtaking .
" Took you long enough to come " He twirled his glass around drinking her in . He went from watching her heels , up to her thighs and where the cut stops , He then moves to her ribcage and V-cut lining her Boobs perfectly.
He took a sharp breath when he looked her straight in the eyes , his eyes glittering with fire for her .
" hi " his raspy voice was more demanding than before , everything he said would probably go his way more often if he sounded this hot .
" hi " she shyly exclaimed before settling down from across of him .
He sat down , his eyes still burning holes into her . He leaned in and crossed his arms together on top of the table .
" you look nervous , are you ?" He titled his head to the side .
She gulped down , getting more nervous at the intensity of his gaze on her .
He nodded . " are you scared ?" He says . "From me ?" He adds .
She looks down at the bowl of expensive fish soup in front of her . " uh , we should probably eat " she said . She wasn't even hungry but whatever that could get her out from that conversation.
He leaned into his seat comfortably, his eyes still lingering on her suspiciously for a long time . " answer me Eli " his voice was more powerful from when she last heard him a moment later .
She looked at him , rosy blush creeping up into her face . " Ambroise , i am not scared of you " but her shaky voice told a different story .
His eyebrows knitted together perfectly when he looked her up and down although the table . " tell me , what is your deepest desire in life "
" Ambroise —"
" please answer my question , i am not a vey patient man " his response wasn't something she'd expected , however she knew it was going to come at some point .
" my desire in life is to .... improve myself " she says .
" improve yourself ? In what way ?" He asks .
" that's a tricky question " she laughs nervously , taking a sip from the soup . " uh , i would like to have a life were i'm not entitled to the royal family , i would like for once to be recognized for my work because it's Elizabeth's Loren not Elizabeth Wayn or August "
Ambroise looked out the window , his face obviously twitching upon hearing the name of his Awful nemesis .
" i also would prefer if i get that promotion because i deserved it not because i'm apart of the royal family now " she adds playfully shoving the spoon and taking a handful before putting it back .
He nods , as if he completely understands her .
" if you didn't know , my Father is one of the founding father's in America now , and the most voted for politician in russia likely to become a president in 2013 , yet i've worked myself hard enough to prove that i am not here because of my father , i am where i am now because of me " he held both her hands from across the table giving them a tight squeeze when he felt how shivery she was.
" Ambroise why do you bother yourself with me ?" She pulls her hands away . " you can have any other women , including my beautiful step-sister , yet you are here with me , without any motives whatsoever "
Instead of getting a response out of him , he just stares at her deeply , trying to memorize her every features like it's the last time he'll see her .
" Ambroise " she calls out for him .
He leans toward her , their breath colliding into one when he has her pinned under his icy gaze . " Because i Like you "
Her breath catches in her throat when she tries to comprehend his bold words . Instead he just looked more confidently.
" I never met someone as intriguing, inspiring and a good person inside and outside like you " he reaches for her hands , gripping them tightly . " you are also the prettiest woman i have ever laid eyes on , so yes i like you .... a lot . Sue me " he tugs her closer , her mouth only a breath away from his as they share an intimate eye contact .
" Ambroise ..." she shyly says , words catching up in her throat as she opens her mouth to say something .
When he feels how firm her hands were holding his , a proud smile tugged to the side of his lips , like a victorious grin .
" give me one mouth , one mouth to prove that i can be the man worthy of your love , and your trust . Give me that chance Eli " his pleading tone sent her to the edge of her mind . She wanted to really give this man a chance .
But why was she trying hard to close on her heart away .
Ambroise smile drops when he notices her sad expressions.
He huffs taking his hand away from here's .
" a month is enough to show you , if by the end you don't fall for me then i'll leave for good , and forever "
