Royalty Gone Bad
Chapter 60: 60. Goodbyes
Asahd’s POV:
The next morning, I got up with a smile on my face.
′I’ll be back home after tomorrow! Yes!′
I was so happy. That was so close! I couldn’t wait to be back in Zagreh.

After showering and dressing up, I left my room and joined the others for breakfast.
“I see how happy you are,” Djafar mused and I smiled.
“I am so happy. One more day to go for real,” I chuckled, still unable to realise the sweet fact.
“We’re all happy to return. I’m glad this is all over now,” he replied.
“Yes, yes.”
We happily had our breakfast and it was time for me to go quit.
“Lemme come with you. I have nothing to do,” Saïda proposed.
“Of course, darling. Let’s go.”
She rushed to get her purse while I hugged Djafar goodbye and grabbed my keys. Saïda joined me later and we left the apartment.

She was slightly in front of me while we walked down the corridor. I playfully wrapped her from behind and carried her off the floor, making her laugh.
“We’ll finally leave this place, Saïda,” I chuckled and she laughed again.
“I know right. I’m so happy. I miss my friends.”
“I miss my parents and life! Finally,” I put her down and squatted. “Need a lift?” I joked and she giggled.
“With pleasure,” she happily climbed onto my back and I carried her all the way till we reached the front of the building. We got into my car and drove off.

I left the boss’s office after quitting. I joined the others who were on break. Saïda was sitting and chatting with some of them.
“You did it?” Derrick asked when they saw me.
“Yup. I’m gonna miss you guys. For real,” I told them with a smile.
“Gonna miss you too,” they all replied, smiling back.
“I can’t believe you’re going back to your country already. I really thought you would stay,” Elsa said.
“I’ve achieved what I wanted to and it’s time for me to go back. I definitely won’t forget any of you.”
“We won’t forget you either,” Britt said and I smiled a little at her.
“Too bad. I was really hoping for something to happen between us,” Jenna mused and we laughed. She always spoke her mind.
“I guess we’ll never know,” I mused. I turned to Ally who was in a corner, smiling.
