Chapter 197 - 197: Meeting the President

Daniella's skin shivered as she entered the President's office. The cold room with Limuel picture on the wall made her skin crawl. Her face screwed but she immediately switched her expression into a calm look.

She walked towards the empty chair opposite of the president's table. Her eyes immediately focused on his face, disappointment rushed over her body when he saw his glasses. She might have told Roman Lee that she could read minds through people's eyes but they don't know her weakness.

She gulped hard and sat down. The serious expression on the president's face depicted the usually smiling face he was always showing in the public.

"What do you need from me?" the president asked.

He had seen her photos but seeing her in person was making him dumbstruck. She was the definition of the word beauty, he thought his wife was beautiful but the woman in front of him has the face of innocent and pure beauty.

He cleared his throat to stop his mind from thinking of her. He blinked his eyes but the moment he looked at her face again, he could not help but swallow hard. He felt as if he's in the middle of the desert, his throat was dried and Daniella in front of him was like an oasis. He wanted to touch her taste her and feel her skin.

"Are you shortsighted?"

The president rose a brow up hearing it. Then he shook his head and looked down. His hands started to tremble so he rested it on his lap under the table.

"Answer my question and I will answer yours."

Daniella shrugged a shoulder, "fine, I need the list of the people who want to be part of this laboratory."

The president smirked sarcastically. The way Daniella ordered him was too authoritative as if he was her assistant.

"it's classified information so it's a no."

The corner of Daniella's lips curled upward, her eyes squinted as she stared at the president.

Slowly, she got up before turning around she placed a hand on the table and leaned forward.

"I want to have that list by tomorrow morning."

She didn't give a threatening remark but the president knew that those round of her eyes staring deeply at him were conveying an unspoken threat.

He took a deep breath and nodded his head. Even though he will give her a list of names, there's no way she will have time and resources to know if those names exist or not.

"Thank you, Mr President."

Daniella turned around to leave but she stopped midway when the President called her name.

"Ms Chen, did you use my son to get close to me?" he had that question in his mind since he found out about her. And now was the time to get his answer.

Without looking back, Daniella nodded.

"Yes, I need to plot my assassination and your son was the perfect person to get information about your whereabouts," she paused to take a deep sigh. She might have used Allan but the memories she saw in his eyes and how much he hated his father was too much.

"By the way, I read your son's mind because I am sure you know that I can do it," a light scoff left her lips, "he hates you and he doesn't want to be part of your dirty politics."

She didn't wait for his reply. Her feet moved towards the door with a calm face. This was the only thing she could do for Allan, to inform his father that he didn't want to be part of the politics.

When Daniella left, the president gulped hard. He looked at the picture frame on his table with his son's photo from when he was in the military.

So, he has been keeping his feelings. He thought. But he wanted him to run for politics as the power was something they needed so their enemy wouldn't touch them.

He's about to get up when he suddenly thought of Daniella.

"Wait, what did she mean by assassination?"

His face went ashen in fright. Was Daniella trying to kill him?

His mind urged him to run to her but he decided to stay. He can't have people think that he's interested to her as the other opposition will definitely use it against him.

Daniella's lips formed a pout after she got into the car. She was waiting for Evan to call back and she has left him a lot of voicemails and messages.

She took in a deep breathe and looked ahead of her. Men in their suits were going back and forth with their suitcase, rushing as if their life depends on it.

Her eyes squinted to see a familiar face. Soon her lips curled up in a smile, it was indeed the judge she kept blackmailing. She's about to start the car when she saw two people surrounding him, the baseball bat they were holding landed on the judge's head and his body fell to the ground.

Daniella shook her head, she would have helped but the people started to run towards the judge.

And so she decided to leave. Unknown to her was a car parked behind her.

Kierry pursed her lips together. Since they changed their plan, she needed to tail Daniella alone. The organization didn't know about the change of plan so she and Arthur were very careful with their action.

Her thought was disturbed when her phone buzzed. As she slowly followed Daniella's car her hand pressed the answer button.

"Evan is on board. You can stop following her and come back here."

Hearing that, Kierry's lips formed a smile. Finally, after days of following Daniella, she can rest now.

She didn't have a problem following her but her life before was more exciting than now.

She and Arthur would follow her in the middle of the Amazon, get stuck in the middle of the mafia war in Italy or even live in a desert for a week without water.

But right now, Daniella's only destination was either her friend's house, villa or the grocery.

Kierry face poker by the thought. She sped up past Daniella's car.
