The next morning, Natalie was ready to leave for the palace, as the queen had invited her for breakfast. The moment she stepped out of the hotel, the same car from the previous night stopped in front of her—the car that belonged to James Harper.
James' assistant, Lucas, stepped out of the car and said, "Ms. Natalie, you are going to the palace with Mr. Harper."
Natalie was surprised to hear this. Once again, James Harper was here for her.
"Mr. Harper is going to visit the queen as well," Lucas added, noticing her surprise.
Natalie nodded and sat in the car as Lucas opened the door for her.
James Harper was already sitting inside.
"Good morning, Mr. Harper," she greeted him after making herself comfortable.
James hummed in response and continued looking through the file he was holding.
Natalie didn't disturb him, instead preferring to look out the window and observe the city in the daylight.
After a while, she heard James Harper ask, "What's your plan after this?"
