Riley looked at Madeleine's angry face before returning her gaze to Constantine. Riley said, "I am sure King Liam and Madeleine would like a moment with the press too what more did you need King-Father." Constantine almost wanted to chuckle at her polite banter he could tell she was annoyed. Constantine pointed to the screen behind him before saying, "I did some character research Lady Riley. Here is what I have found." Soon the screen came to life Riley watched herself volunteer at the animal shelter. Images of her organizing their food so none would spoil. Soon that switched to her handing out bottled water and food at a flood sight. Next came her time volunteering at the hospital in the children's ward. The last pictures came from the library where she had volunteered to read to the children while they had their annual book sale.
Riley wanted to scream at the man but knew he meant well. Riley simply said, "While I appreciate what you're doing King Father I kept this quiet for a reason. These people all needed help but they didn't want to be mobbed by the media. I wanted to help it didn't matter if I got recognized or not. There are many people in Cordonia who volunteer their time. I don't need a pat on my back for doing the right thing." Constantine smiled saying, "Well they thought that Cordonia should see some of what you do with your free time." Madeleine strutted over saying, "As Riley said, everyone does this there is no need to fuss. All you have done King Father is make it harder for Riley to help out the next time she wants to. It's not like she can run a charity fundraiser at a fashion show as we can. If they didn't want media attention then you just made Riley break their trust. Now we have a homecoming ball to get to and the wedding date to decide on."
Constantine smirked Riley could smell Liam's cologne and his body warmth. She whispered to him, "I had nothing to do with this." Liam raised his eyebrow as he walked over to his Father's side. "Father we are all thrilled to be home. However, we are also tired from our travels and we still have the homecoming ball. Don't you think it's time to wrap things up?" Liam had no idea what his father was trying to do but, he thought it was best to end whatever it was. Constantine nodded saying, "Then I will get to the point so we can all go inside. Your Personal Assistant had a medical issue with you were on tour. She's now home on bed rest per her doctor's orders. Since finding someone last minute is so hard. I thought of Lady Riley but, I wanted to be sure she could handle the job. That is of course if you don't mind her being your Personal Assistant Liam." Liam smiled replying, "I am sure Riley will do a fine job while my normal Personal Assistant is out tending to her health. Thank you for taking care of that for me. I believe we are done here."
Constantine heads to Riley handing her a tablet to use as Liam's Assistant. "All you have to do is enter your password and you will have access. I already set it up for you" Constantine said as he walked by. Riley nodded entering a password before locking the tablet and heading inside. She went straight to her room ignoring Madeleine's look of surprise as she walked by. Riley took her bags to her new room assignment she had just put everything away when there was a knock at the door. Riley opens the door to find Maxwell with a broad smile "ready to go pick out a dress" he asks. Riley nods as they head to the boutique upon arrival they find Hana inside waiting on them. After going through the dresses in her size Riley finds three she likes and heads in to try them on. Riley decided on a strapless dress that was white and gold. She placed the pearl bracelet Liam gave her on her wrist. She had just put on a pair of matching white and gold heels when Madeleine waltzed in. Madeleine glared at Riley demanding, "Do you care to explain this?" "I need to know what this is to answer the question Maddy" Riley replied.
Madeleine screeched, "Why does the King have changes to his schedule?" Riley calmly replied, "Because he asked for all morning appointments to be pushed back an hour. He's starting a new exercise program. You do want him to be both fit and healthy. As for the change in lunch. I thought he should enjoy that meal as well. I also figured we could discuss any changes he needed to make. We are a team and he's the captain I need to know what he needs to make things run smoothly for him." Madeleine screamed out, "You can't just do that!" "I believe I can and did Maddy. I am his assistant and I am going assist him to make his job as easy and effortless as possible", Riley replied as she left the Boutique. Riley quickly found her way to the ballroom getting lost within the crowd of people already gathered.
Liam approached her with a smile on his face saying, "I love my new schedule but, why do I need an hour and a half?" Riley replied, "So we can both eat and talk about any needed changes." She then leaned in closely whispering, "Also I wish to engage in a nooner with my husband. In case you're unaware it's sex." Liam nodded and was about to say something when Madeleine stormed over saying through gritted teeth, "Tell her she can't change your schedule without authorization." Liam raised an eyebrow replying, "Riley had my permission. I like her idea of a lunch staff meeting where we will talk and make any adjustment to improve my productivity and make my day easier. Plus, the early morning stretching exercises will help energize me for the day ahead." Of course, Liam wasn't about to tell Madeliene that his morning workout was really just sex with his wife. Now it also looked like his clever wife had plans to fulfill his office sex fantasies at lunch too.
