"Your Highness!" Taking a step nearer, Alexander offered to shake his hand.
Ross gave him a deep look and shook it.
"This way, please!" They led the prince inside the house and proceeded to the study room. Closing the door, Alexander turned on the surveillance system and sat down with others.
He then poured them each a cup of coffee. They were quiet for a moment.
"I'm sorry you have to come here, Your Highness," Alexander said.
"Don't be." Ross shook his head. "Although I'm a prince, I've been through all kinds of hardship before. Besides, you've got a nice house."
He glanced around and nodded approvingly.
"I'm glad you like it. You'll have to stay here for a couple of days," Alexander said.
Remembering something, he gestured at Mike and said, "This is Mike. You guys spoke on the phone."
"Oh, it was you." Catching on, Ross nodded. "I'd like to thank you. If you hadn't warned me, I might have fallen into her trap."
"Don't mention it, Your Highness," Mike waved no. "I'm just doing my part."
"Well, I really appreciate it."
Nodding, Ross looked excited, although he was a bit tired.
