Ella Thompson was jerked out of her astonished state, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
"Can't I come?"
"Of course you can, it's just that I am surprised!" Ella was flustered and invited him in.
Alvin Lindsey entered the room with long strides, taking in the clean, spacious apartment. "Nice place, quite cozy."
"It can't compare with your royal villa." Ella paid him a compliment before explaining, "This apartment belongs to a friend of mine."
"If you like, you can move into my place." Alvin sat on the sofa and offered earnestly.
"..."
Ella, however, thought he was joking. She served him a pot of tea and asked, "Your Majesty, how did you know I live here?"
"Isn't it easy to find where you live?" Alvin smirked, sipping the fragrant tea.
"I suppose so." Ella scratched her head in perplexity, "What's the occasion for your surprise visit, Your Majesty?"
"My secretary has been absent from work for three days, confined to the bed. Shouldn't I come to check on her?"
