    "I''m not telling you."


    Lucyughed and ran off. Meanwhile, Cillian and Arthur were having a happy conversation during their meeting.


    "What a coincidence that you and Velda were university friends."


    When Cillian mentioned his rtionship with Lucy, Arthur was astonished that they knew each other before. It made him feel closer to Cillian.


    Arthur seemed to enjoy the stories he was being told, and Cillian continued talking about his past with Lucy.


    "Yes, Lulu and I have been very good friends since we were in university. Her exam results were excellent, and she was the crush of many boys in our ss."


    Cillian knew exactly what to say. No parent could resist listening to their children''s peers talk about how wonderful their children were.


    Arthur heard many interesting stories of Lucy''s student years from Cillian. He felt like he had been a part of that time.


    It was difficult for Arther not to like Cillian, and they enjoyed their conversation tremendously. Charlotte was hiding in the side hall of Arthur''s reception room as she watched Cillian.


    She had noticed the gentlemanly Cillian since the internal meeting.


    Every woman had her type. Some liked the cold and distant look of Matthew.


    Others liked warm and dapper types like Cillian. Cillian waspletely Charlotte''s type, and she fell in love with him at first sight.


    This was despite the fact that Cillian knew Lucy and might be on Lucy''s side.


    Charlotte wanted to see Cillian again, and even though she knew it was rude to see a guest without notifying them in advance, she still chose to sneak looks at him through the side hall.


    She was afraid of being caught, so she hid somewhere quite far away. She could not hear what Arthur and Cillian were talking about.


    Charlotte watched Cillian in a daze as he conversed with a happy smile on his face.


    She had no idea that there would be a man in the world with such a good-looking smile. She was determined to have him for herself. That was Charlotte''s most direct thought.


    They conversed for a while longer before Arthur and Cillian both stood up.


    "It has been quite a while since I''ve


    seen


    if Lulu. I miss her a lot. I wonder


    request permission from


    Your Majesty to see her?"


    Cillian asked Arthur quite politely. Arthur was in a good mood, and there was no reason for him to reject the request.


    Moreover, Velda might be happy to meet an old friend.


    "Of course, you can see her. Juste with me, Mr. Sullivan. I''m on my way to see Velda too.


    Arthur led Cillian out. Charlotte''s chest tightened when she saw them about to leave. She was afraid she could not see Cillian again and quickly ran out of the side hall.


    Both Arthur and Cillian had already left the reception room. Charlotte kept running until she bumped into them at the corner of the long corridor.

    She pretended that it was a coincidence and went forward to greet Arthur.


    "You''re here, Dad. I was about to go see you. May I know who this is?"


    Charlotte smiled at both of them. Arthur did not ask why Charlotte wanted to see him and immediately introduced Cillian to her. "This is Cillian Sullivan. This is my eldest daughter, Charlotte. She''s as adorable and obedient as Velda is."


    Cillian quickly greeted her when he heard this was Lucy''s older sister.


    "How do you do, Princess Charlotte?"


    Cillian smiled and nodded. He looked up to see Charlotte staring back at him.


    Even though Charlotte was not happy that Arthurpared her to Lucy, she maintained a gentle smile in front of Cillian.
