Chapter 252: A Task for the Maid

Alec stood and took another chair, placing it beside his. Lauren wondered what he was about to do.

"Sit here," he said.

She stiffened in shock. She blinked twice, unsure of what to do. Was it even right for her to sit there beside the king on his office desk? She doubted it. Should anyone see them, they would surely think the king was losing his mind.

"Why?" he asked when she didn't budge.

"I need you to rewrite some documents for me. Do you think you can do it?" he tilted his head, teasing her with his question.

She shook her head at once. "Of course not, Your Majesty."

She walked towards the desk and cautiously sat down. Although there was a decent distance between her and Alec, they were still sitting so close to each other, making her uneasy. More than that, the king's grey eyes watching her as she settled down made her feel butterflies in her stomach for some reason.
