Chapter 85Lily's POV
The royal office was nothing like I had imagined.
It wasn't overly decorated with gold or jewels like the ballroom, nor intimidating like the throne room. It was… functional. A long polished oak table stretched across the center, papers neatly arranged on one side, and maps pinned to the walls with markings I couldn't quite decipher. The air smelled faintly of parchment and ink, mixed with a sharper scent that could only be Joe's, cedar and steel.
I had never been allowed in here before. Maids never were. And yet, here I was, trailing in behind Joe like a shadow that didn't know how to fade.
Being his personal assitant definetely has its perks,i get to be in places i have never dreamt of before. And also as a plus, i get to be close to Joe all day long and maybe out of Jane's wicked shackles.
Ivan was already talking the moment we stepped in.
