Supposed to be Right

My response drew a laugh from the prince as he looked at me with sparkling gray eyes. I could tell that Desmond was very glad to see me because I could feel the life returning to his beautiful gray eyes. To my surprise, it wasn't at all difficult to reunite with the prince and talk to him again.

“I guess it's good enough for me that you did actually turn up,” the prince said before grinning my way.

The way he looked so thankful for my appearance made me feel slightly guilty inside.

“My sister told me that I shouldn't throw you under the bus so publicly, and I had to agree with her,” I replied before I found myself smiling quite naturally.

“I guess I have your sister to thank for this,” the prince replied.

There were many things that I wanted to ask the prince, but there was one burning question that felt like it could no longer wait until later.

“My father's corruption case and its relation to my family businesses, were you the one who stepped in to help us out?” I asked directly.
