Chapter 188 - 188: Meeting Roman Lee Part 1
Daniella breathed out as she stared in front of the mirror. She had just received a call from Scarlet about the incident she experienced a few days ago and she didn"t like what Camille did to her friend.
Her eyes gloomed. Seemed like Camille was trying to torture her friends but she was planning to end it tonight.
She made a plan to meet Roman Lee and the thought of it somehow made her broke a sweat.
She squeezed her eyes shut. Her royal blue A-line midi dress complimented her skin and body curve. Light make up on while her eyes were green and in serene.
She"s been at peace in the past weeks. Her mind was clearer than before. She smiled, everything now makes sense. After tonight, everything shall be normal.
No more torturing, no more revenge. She knew about the meeting between Roman Lee and the President. That was the reason why she decided to go through with her plan.
"Where are you going?"
Daniella looked at the figure standing a few meters from her through the mirror. She smiled at Evan, he was in his casual long sleeve shirt and jeans. He had started wearing gla.s.ses after he was shot and it made him look more serious and cold.
"Just a meeting."
He walked closer to her, "what time are you coming back?" by that time, he had reached her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He bent his head to plant a small kiss on her shoulder.
"I will be back soon," she turned around and elevated her chin to have a good look at his face, "how do I look?"
His eyes softened, he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears and smiled.
"Perfect," he replied in an almost whisper. His face lowered to level to hers and without a word he reached for her lips.
Their kiss was light, Evan found it so peaceful. Her mind was in a real serene right now. It felt as if she was not thinking of anything, all the memories he kept seeing in the past every time they kissed was now gone and he hoped that it"s for good.
As their lips parted, Daniella opened her eyes. She bit her lips showing her deep dimples.
"I love it when your eyes are blue," he said softly, "it makes you look like a G.o.ddess."
He didn"t know how a G.o.ddess looked like but he could imagine that Daniella would be prettier than her.
She chuckled, shook her head and cupped his cheek with a hand, "stay here babe. I will be back soon," she blew out a sigh and left the room with a light feeling.
As she strode along the hallway, she found a photo of the Su Family hanging on the wall.
She halted, even though she will be successful to clear her past, she still has the Su Family. The family showed a clear disagreement about her. So she will need to work hard for them to accept. She didn"t want Evan to worry about her and the Su family so she decided to do everything she can to be acceptable for them, even if it meant forgetting her past.
She gulped hard and moved along. Roman Lee was not expecting her and this was a good time to meet him and figure out what was running in his mind.
--
At Lee"s Residences.
Roman Lee had just finished his dinner and now resting in the living room next to his wife while his daughter – after moving out of the Su villa decided to live in her apartment near the agency she"s working with.
The tea on the table was still hot, Roman stretched a hand to grab it.
Slowly, he took a sip and gulped it down to his throat. Whoa! It"s so peaceful, he said in his mind. Since he went to visit the president, he started to make a plan and imagine himself in the laboratory just like before.
A relief look brightened his face. Finally, after 11 years, he can start the unfinished work he had done under Roy Chu and this time he didn"t have the fury man as a boss. He can do whatever he wanted, rough or smooth.
He drank half of the tea despite its hotness, the television was playing a live fashion show and his daughter was part of it. When Camille appeared on the stage, his wife started clapping her hands with happiness.
"That"s our Camille," she proudly said and even shook his arms.
He smiled at her, he will do everything for his wife. He wrapped a hand around her shoulder and patted it twice, asking her to calm down.
The show played to thirty minutes after that Roman Lee turned to his wife.
"You should get ready for bed after the show, I will wash the cups," he said softly to his wife.
The woman got up and obediently walked upstairs. He picked up the teacups and went to the kitchen, as he washed them the doorbell rang.
He furrowed his brows and dried his face, shifting from one foot to another towards the main door he started to wonder who could it be.
"Is it Camille?" he asked but immediately corrected his thought since he just watched his daughter walked in the runway.
He opened the door, seemed like his wife did not hear the doorbell when it rang. Midway of opening the door Roman Lee turned statue. His eyes immediately went round in shock while his lips started to tremble like a leaf.
The woman in front of him was smiling from ear to ear. Roman Lee seemed to recall this situation though this time it was Daniella standing in his front door and not him. The smile she had resembled the smile he gave after she opened the door of her house fourteen years ago.
"Mr Lee Good evening," Daniella"s voice was calm and soft just like the sound playing from a music box, it could put anyone"s mind at ease but Roman Lee started to tremble instead.
He gulped hard and held onto the doork.n.o.b. Sweat broke in his forehead while his heart thumped uncontrollably.
"What are – you doing here?" he stumbled in his own voice. His eyes started to feel hot and he felt running away in fear. She might be smiling at him genuinely but after what he had done to her and the thought he had earlier about locking her up again made him feel that her smile was fake.
Daniella flickered her eyelashes. Roman Lee"s face was white as a sheet of paper. He had a look of a child that just saw a ghost, but she"s no ghost and if she was, she would be a beautiful ghost.
The corner of her lips curled up, she took a deep sigh and stretched a hand which was carrying a cake.
"I brought you a cake."
Dumbstruck, Roman Lee stared at her hand, "what?"
Daniella withdrew her hand, she"s getting tired and the cake was a little heavy.
Seemed like Roman Lee did not have a plan to invite her in so Daniella took the initiative and walked inside.
One step after another her feet made its way inside of the house. She halted in the middle of the living room. Her eyes roamed around the place. It has a nice design, in just one look a person will know that it"s a house of rich people. All the furniture was up to date even the painting hanging on the wall were made by famous artists.
Roman Lee absently shut the door, his body was still trembling. He didn"t have any security because he was not thinking that Daniella will be coming to his house. He didn"t even know that she knew the address of his wife.
He recently got married to her, no one knew that he was living in his wife"s house aside from their daughter but then he realized that she can read minds, she must have gotten the information from his daughter.
"What do you need?" he tried to mask his fear with a cold voice but his face could not hide it. His face was paled just like a sheet of paper.
Daniella slowly turned to Roman Lee, a smile that could strike anyone"s heart was on her lips.
Her head t.i.tled a little and her pinkish lips parted, "I think it"s time for us to make a deal Mr Lee, don"t you think so?" she sweetly said to him.
