The hot and mysterious duke
was known to be madly in love
with Princess Cynthia.
He sent her passionate love letters,
while she sent him flirtatious notes stamped
with lipstick marks.
Their relationship was heavily talked about;
Everyone speculated about their eventual engagement.
Everyone,
except Layla Edwards.

'Excellent job as always. You never cease to impress me.'
The duke said.
Layla smiled faintly and replied.
'Thank you sir. When's my next assignment?'
'Forget about it for now. Won't you drink a glass of wine with me?'
He replied back with a
mischievous glint in his eyes.
Layla smiled even wider
and leaned in his
personal space.
She whispered in a low tone
and rested her hand
on his defined chest.
'Drink on your own darling. I have things to do.'
She slowly pulled back, her hand leaving his chest.
She spoke once more.
'Enjoy your glass of wine, Duke Langdon.'
Just like that,
she turned her heels
and walked towards the door.
