The CEO's Woman-Chapter 354 Unusual Questions

Chapter 354 Unusual Questions

Jiang Yue marveled at the palace in front of her. From a distance, the palace already looked marvelous, yet now, when she was close enough to touch it, she could see that the word 'marvelous' was just an understatement.

'Majestic' was not even close to describing the golden peaks of its roof, nor the dust-free pillars painted in white. To her left, a big statue of a dragon was set on a pedestal, surrounded by water from the nearby fountain. While on her right, a phoenix could be seen, amidst the glistening water. She had seen palaces from the movies, but this one right here was on another level.

"Miss Long?" A young man in a suit approached her.

"Yes." She nodded. Jiang Yue was currently disguised as Long Die, she was also using that name as Shen Rong's lawyer. It was also the identity she was using to see the Prime Minister and the King as Jiang Yue's representative.

She chose this disguise simply because everyone had already seen Long Die with Jiang Yue and Shen Rong. That was supposed to also explain Long Die's sudden disappearance. Moreover, Jiang Yue and Wang Ruo almost had the same body type. And most importantly, their mannerism was also very similar.

"Please, follow me. The Prime Minister and the King have already agreed to see you."

Jiang Yue did not say anything as she followed the young man inside the palace. Jiang Yue was checked there and undergone a lot of security procedures, to ensure that she was not a threat to the King.

"This way please..." the man said as he made his way into the elevator. "We are going to the third floor," he said, the moment he sensed a question in Jiang Yue's eyes.

Once again, she just nodded and chose not to say anything to the man.

After another series of twists and turns, they finally arrived at a big mahogany door with golden frames. The man easily opened the door, using an iris scanner, and led her inside a big meeting room.

"Please, take a seat." He gestured for her to sit down. "The Prime Minister will be here soon."

"What about the King?" She asked before clarifying herself. "I mean, this is a very important project. I expected him to be here as well."

"He will be here too… with the Prince and the Secretary of Defense."

"Prince?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince Carlisle will accompany his father."

"Oh, thank you."

The man nodded. "The refreshments will be served once the Prime Minister arrives." With these words, he took a step out of the room without saying another thing.

Jiang Yue stared at the now closed door before roaming her eyes around the luxurious meeting room. Honestly, this extravagance was not a surprise for her. After all, the outside of the palace was already very stunning. It was not a surprise to see that the inside was as beautiful as the outside.

"Miss Long?" A deep voice echoed inside the room after the door was opened from the outside. "I'm sorry, it took me a while, I was having another meeting with some of the Cabinet members…. Ah… where are my manners… I am Prime Minister Li… Please take a seat." Prime Minister Li gestured for her to take back her seat after she shook hands with him.

"Ah… the King will be here in another five minutes or so… let me call for refreshments. Is tea okay for you?" Jiang Yue nodded and smiled at the Prime Minister's words.

"Great... Tell me, how long have you been working for Miss Jiang?" The Prime Minister asked after he called someone to serve the snacks.

"I am relatively new. However, I am an engineer in Artificial Technology, so I am one of the people, who constantly work alongside Miss Jiang," she answered, closely observing the Prime Minister's reaction.

"Ah… how is it? Working with her? Is she just like what the rumors say?" The Prime Minister's question instantly caused Jiang Yue to raise her eyebrow.

"What rumors?"

"I mean.. Is she extremely smart?"

"Smart? Yes… she is." She answered, still puzzled by his unusual questions.

"Ah… here they are." He got up from his seat when the door was opened again, revealing Gideon and the Crown Prince, accompanied by Secretary Jia.

Both the Prime Minister and Jiang Yue made a low bow towards the King and watched as he took a seat next to Prime Minister, together with the Prince and the Secretary of Defense.

"I know, I was not supposed to be present at a meeting like this. However, this project with Miss Jiang really intrigues me." King Gideon laughed while looking at Jiang Yue. "I have heard you are here to represent Miss Jiang? I wonder why was she not able to come?"

"She does not feel safe." Jiang Yue answered directly, her eyes never leaving the Kings.

"Impudent. How dare you look at my father like that!?"

"Carlisle… calm down." Gideon held his son back. "Let her," he said as suspicions started clouding his mind.

Why did this woman… seem so familiar?
