A Cue For Love Chapter 1058
Chapter 1058 She Absolutely Has To Go Natalie was utterly dumbfounded. What? Howe?
Ordinary people don’t usually get invited to royal banquets like these! Even the wealthy don’t get invited
unless they have connections or are doing business with the royal family! Why would a nobody like me
receive such a grand invitation?
Natalie’s frown deepened. “Do you know why I’m being invited to Prince Jonathan’s birthday party?”
Jerome didn’t know the actual reason she was invited, but he could make a rough guess based on the
invitation card and what his superior had told him.
“Don’t overthink it, Natalie. This probably has something to do with that bank robbery a while back. I
kept my mouth shut about it, but there were quite a lot of soldiers who witnessed your heroic acts. You
saved that boy who got shot and let the robbers take you hostage in ce of that woman who was
eight months pregnant. I’m guessing Prince Jonathan invited you over so he could give you an award.”
“I see…” Natalie nodded as she gave it some thought. The royal family of Loang does have the power
to grant awards like these, so Jerome’s exnation makes perfect sense.
Even so, there are lots ofplicated power struggles within the royal family of Loang. I’m only here to
do business. I have no interest in learning more about the royal family, let alone getting close to them
like this.
“Jerome, can I not attend this party?” she asked tentatively.
“I’m afraid not. I know you don’t like attending social events like these, but you have no choice in this
particr one. Invitations from the royal family aren’t the same as invitations from fellow businessmen.
ording to the local customs, if you insist on turning the invitation down, you will have to exin your
reason to Prince Jonathan in person and obtain his permission.
Unlike in Chanaea, Loang practices absolute monarchy, so the king holds ultimate power in the
country. Although things aren’t as crazy as they were in the past, the royal family’s authority is still not
to be challenged by ordinary folks like you and me.
Prince Jonathan has every right to banish you from Loang if he wishes to. Things are going well for
Dream’s development now. It’d be a real shame if you were to get banished now.”
It wasn’t until Natalie heard his lengthy exnation that she fully realized her situation. There simply
was no way for her to excuse herself from attending this birthday party.
“Thanks for the information. I’ll be there on time,” Natalie said with a nod. “There’s no need for you to
get nervous. All you need to do is follow the servants’ instructions andplete the procedures to
receive the award.”
“Okay.” Having gotten that out of the way, Natalie decided it was time for her to head off to work. “I’ll be
on my way to the office now.”
Natalie was about to walk away when Jerome called out to her again, “Wait!”

“Hmm?” “Natalie, I’ve been thinking a lot about it after I went back.” Jerome shed her a faint smile. “I
hope we can still remain as friends like we used to be. I want us to go back to being siblings again.”
Natalie stared wide-eyed at him in surprise. “Do you really feel that way?”
Jerome gave her a yful flick on the forehead, just as he used to when they were kids.
“Why would I lie to you? It’s not like you’re the only woman in the world. It was a little embarrassing
being rejected by you, but I’m pretty sure I can easily find someone else who’ll like me. I’m not the kind
of guy who would shamelessly cling to a woman forever, especially if she’s not even that attractive!”
Feeling relieved when she saw that he could joke about it so casually, Natalie did the same. “Hey! Who
are you calling unattractive, huh?”
