Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 94 - Mr. Hale

"Thank you Mr. Hale for coming," Valerie said walking to the man who immediately replaced the sad expression with a cold expressionless look.

"Oh . . . Impossible," Debby said opening her mouth as she used her hand to cover her mouth in astonishment.

"What do you think he is doing here?" Wayne had to ask. He could not seem to understand this young man whose brain seems to be differently wired from every other human being.

The fashion show was a grand occasion but not enough for the richest man in the kingdom to attend. He never knew Mr. Hale was interested in fashion. He looked at him with a very obvious love-struck expression..

"Who is he?" Noah asked drowning in the beauty of the man few feet away from her.

"Mr. Hart Liam now Hale Liam," Wayne replied still love-struck.

Rose watched unable to understand why he was here. She turned away when she met his gaze and looked down at her fingers.

"I did not see him earlier," Anna said avoiding the cold gaze she felt he sent to her.

"Yes, he was not here earlier even if he was, I don't think he was where we sat. I heard a VIP section was made for important people like him," Wayne murmured unable to take his gaze from Liam like every other person in the room.

"That is right but he shouldn't be in places like this, he makes us all feel so small," Anna complained as she wished this man will leave early.

Rose also prayed for him to leave since she did not want to face him. Her heart was beating hard against her chest. She tried keeping her eyes down but her desire to see those silver greyish eyes, his handsome face made her raise her head slowly trying not to make it obvious.

He was not looking at her but as soon as her eyes rested comfortably on him happy she could enjoy this feast without getting caught, he met her gaze almost making her yelp as she dropped her gaze immediately.

It might sound crazy but she missed him, she wanted to see him smile. His smile was as she believed, reserved for her seeing the way he maintained an expressionless appearance despite how her mother kept smiling as she spoke to him.

"I wonder how anyone could look so good," Debby said as she stared fascinated by the way he looked so good in the black suit her wore along with a black shirt. He wore no tie with the first two buttons of the shirt undone.

A handsome man with such awesome physique will definitely make anyone's imagination go wild.

"He will look good in anything," Rose found herself saying dreamily as she remembered how good he looked in the simple casual outfit she saw him wear at home.

"Right," Debby immediately agreed with the fashion designer and stylist but she picture him wearing no shirt. She blushed as well as drooled at the imagination. "He will definitely look better without a shirt, those muscles," Debby whispered out her thoughts to her friends.

"Get out of that Dreamland. I am sure he is taken," Noah said shaking her head in order not to think of what he will look like without his shirt on with her boyfriend standing beside her.

"No, you are the one whose taken. Cover your girlfriend," she said looking at Wayne who also seemed to be admiring Liam with his eyes looking like they will never blink.

"This is the problem with having really good looking people around. They steal everyone's heart," Anna murmured as she tried to steal glances at him without being obvious because she could feel he hated her.

"They have the right to," Debby said looking at him unrestrained.

"I hope he leaves soon," Rose said closing her eyes tightly. It seems that the more his presence remained close to her, the more she will want to forgive him without getting an apology.

Liam's eyes fell on Rose with a flash of sadness appearing but disappearing immediately as though it never existed. "I will leave now Mrs. Whitfred," he said glancing at Rose before walking towards the exit.

"He is leaving," Anna said jubilating. She waited until he left and she could finally breath freely.

Rose felt sad seeing him leave. She wanted him to leave but she also wanted him to apologize. She felt her eyes get clouded with moisture and she really wished she could give herself a physical knock on her head to snap her back.

Her phone suddenly vibrated in the pocket of her blazer and she pulled it out. She glanced at it and she literally felt her heart jubilating. It was a message from Liam.

She smiled subconsciously and tapped on the message.

'You look beautiful.'

Only three words but she felt millions of butterflies performing their best flight movements in her stomach. It was so beautiful.

She was so engrossed in the message that she did not see Noah stretch and look at the screen of her phone curious to know what made her so happy.

She elbowed Rose on her waist when everyone turned to look at Rose with the beautiful eye-catching smile she wore.

Rose smiled half of the time but those were mandatory compulsory elegant smiles she wore to maintain her image. Those smiles looked sincere since almost nobody knew what her sincere smile looked like.

This smile made them all realize a lot of things they did not know about Rose. Anna discovered her sister actually had a slight dimple on her left cheeks that she had never noticed in more than two years.

Wayne knew Rose was very beautiful but her smile made her look so gorgeous. It was an almost inhuman beauty that will make anyone guess that angels looked that way.

Debby notices sparkles in Rose eyes but she guessed it was because of the lights reflecting in her eyes but the more she stared, she had to conclude that Rose eyes were shining and it looked like well- polished baltic amber stones arranged with emeralds to form a magical pattern.

Noah found herself confirming that whoever this Liam who sent her the message, must have totally won Rose's heart over for himself. The girl seemed to shine because of the message complimenting her beauty. The compliment made her more beautiful.

She turned around to find the person who was staring who could be the Liam but when her eyes fell on the large closed door that led out of the hall, she felt it was a pity that Liam missed such view.

"What made you so happy?" Anna could not hold back the question as she watched her sister closely as the smile disappeared and got replaced with the usual mandatory smile she always wore.

"Nothing," Rose replied as she turned off her phone before meeting Anna's gaze once again. She did not believe she was happy. If she did, it will only conclude that she likes Liam. "I came up with the idea of a very beautiful dress and I can't wait to get home so I could sketch it out and begin it's making."

Everyone knew she was lying but they chose to believe her as they looked away occasionally looking at Rose to see if they could get a view of that again.

She suddenly froze when she remembered she blocked Liam's number earlier but he still contacted her. She pulled out her phone again. She did not remember unblocking him but it showed that he was not blocked.

She turned to Wayne, "Could a hacker unblock their number on your phone?"
