After spending the remaining of her afternoon with Lydia, talking about idle things like errands they wanted to run, their mood, the things in their life, and so on, their meeting came to an end.
Lydia was reluctant to let Adeline go, treating it like a permanent parting. With a man as controlling yet cunning as the King, poor Adeline would've been convinced to stay in the castle for as long as time allowed her to.
Lydia wished her friend wasn't so easily tricked by the King, but he was quite handsome and had a way of words.
"Let's meet again in a week," Lydia said. She stood by Adeline's car door, firmly holding onto it, despite the disapproval of the royal guards and entourage.
"I always have so much to tell you," she added on.
Adeline blinked. "But don't you have meetings to attend? The annual shareholder meeting is approaching in two weeks. Are you sure you have time to meet me?"
