Going For A Holiday

The Crown Prince's office was spacious, one of its walls covered entirely with floor-to-ceiling windows. The interior was designed according to his usual style, low-key but luxurious at the same time, cold but tasteful.

The woman sitting on the sofa could not help but stand up and walk towards the office table.

There were two photo frames placed on the office table.

One of them was of a young woman dressed in a professional suit and ponytail, looking clean and sharp. The other was of a family of three.

The pretty small boy was standing in the middle while the man behind was back-hugging the woman's shoulders tightly. The woman and boy were smiling brightly, while the man who did not smile usually had a small smile as well.

It was a happy and warm smile.

She stared at the photo for a very long time, until some low but steady footsteps could be heard by the door.
