Chapter 29: Meeting With An Enemy

As he sat in his luxurious office located at the center of the Parliament House in Sydney, he couldn't help but feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. It was a typical day for the king - meeting with cabinet members, attending diplomatic conferences, and signing off on various bills that were passed in the House of Representatives. The only different thing was that he couldn't stop thinking about Catherine.

Shawn had never really been interested in relationships for years now after Rory happened. But now, he couldn't deny the way his heart raced every time he thought about Catherine's cute face, her blushing red cheeks, soft voice, and gentle smile. He couldn't stop replaying their conversations in his head, and it had become a constant distraction for him. He had been trying to ignore the way he felt and keep a tight lid on his feelings. However, he felt like her very lovely face was already imprinted on his mind.

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples.
