Chapter 2223
Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2223-Fred stood in the elevator with unease. Although Ross did not hold much real power as a prince, he had some ministers’ support.
‘Just what the hell is he up to coming here so suddenly?’ Fred wondered.
The elevator soon reached his office floor. Fred stepped aside to let the prince exit, then followed him.
“Where’s your office?” Ross asked.
Fred led the way. “This way, Your Highness.”
He brought the prince to the office respectfully and unlocked the door. The moment he did, Ross opened the door before he could.
Indeed, there were piles of documents on the desk and floor. Some items were haphazardly stacked on one side, and the computer was still on. At that moment, Fred’s phone rang on the desk.
“See?” Fred smiled apologetically. As he marched over and was about to pick up the phone, the prince said, “Wait a minute.”
He joined Fred and stood beside him. Giving him a look, he pressed the speakerphone button and gestured for the duke to proceed.
Fred shrugged nonchalantly. “Hello, this is Fred.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your Grace, the envoy from Zavonia will arrive tomorrow and has scheduled a meeting with you at 3 pm. There’s also the envoy from Mythora…”
The person reported many official matters, and Fred responded steadily. When the caller finished, Fred glanced at Ross. Since the latter did not react, Fred hung up the call.
“You’re swamped, as you said, huh?” Ross asked as he sat in Fred’s chair.
Fred smiled. “Well, it’s all part of the job.”
“It must be hard to deal with diplomatic tasks while caring for my mom. I’ll tell her you’ve done a great job,” Ross said placidly.
“I appreciate it, Your Highness. I’m just doing my job,” he replied smilingly.
Ross turned and glanced at the computer screen full of various documents and data. He asked casually, “Oh, yes, my mom hasn’t been in the palace lately. Do you know where she went?”
Fred paused momentarily before saying, “Her Majesty did come here, but we didn’t announce it because it isn’t an official visit. She left afterward, but I’m unsure where she went.”
“She only said she wanted to travel,” he added thoughtfully.
“You follow her everywhere, yet you don’t know where she is?” Ross raised his brow doubtfully.
“Don’t listen to the rumors, sire!” Fred exclaimed innocently, “I don’t mind if people say that about me, but it’s terrible for the queen’s reputation. People always see me with her only because of work.”
Fred was eager to prove his loyalty and innocence.
Ross smiled faintly and asked, “Why are you so worried? I’m not insinuating anything.”
