Trial Of Love - Chapter 485
“Manager Wang.” Elizabeth spoke as she entered the building after finishing her call.
Was it their imagination or were they truly seeing a ghost? The girl right in front of them looks like someone they all know. But, she was different in some ways. Her presence and bearing was far more elegant and elite than the person they all know. But, why, why were all they feeling such a familiar feeling from her. A feeling like they’ve all been waiting for her for a long time. Those who were familiar with the girl couldn’t contain their emotions. Some were already in tears despite they haven’t confirmed who she was. They didn’t care if she was not the person whom they all were waiting for, it’s just they have kept such a feeling buried for a long time that the girl’s sudden appearance has brought it into light.
“Everyone, this is a close friend of mine and Li Zi. She is here to see President Chen.” Wang Ji spoke and explained, noticing some were already in tears, worried that the situation might go out of hand.
Everyone didn’t react despite what Wang Ji said. They felt everything he was saying was a light. That person couldn’t be just Li Zi’s friend, they felt like he was hiding something from them.
Elizabeth noticed those who were in tears, she contained her feelings as she couldn’t act as if she was familiar with them. She needs to keep a distance for now because the situation would go out of hand if she suddenly revealed she was Li Zi.
“Nice to meet you all.” She greeted them as if it was the first she was meeting them all. She felt so much pain and burden within for lying in front of those who showed so much love for her. Some greeted back whilst others kept their distance as they felt they were too emotional and might cause a scene.
“We better go, President Chen might be…” Wang Ji was unable to finish his words when a voice echoed from a far alarming everyone with the girl’s identity.
“Ms. Knightley!”
Those who clearly heard it were shocked. There weren’t a lot of Knightleys around and the fact the girl standing in front of them had such a familiar aura made them all suspect her identity.
“Wait, Knightley, could she be.”
“But, doesn’t she look like Li Zi more.”
“Wait, didn’t Li Zi look like Lady Zhao in some ways?”
People started whispering to each other, perplex by the whole situation. People started thinking back on the situation in which Li Zi was compared to Lady Zhao, some also started searching for her picture and comparing it with old photos of Elizabeth. The photos were of her childhood so it was not far off to what she looked like now.
Wang Ji was furious as he wished to punch the man in the face. Seeing him happily running towards him, made him want to just shoot him then. To think he is the president of the company yet acted so stupidly and didn’t even think twice before spouting such nonsense.
“Wang Ji, Miss Knightley, I was waiting for you…” President Chen smiled from ear to ear seeing the girl standing right in front of him. He greeted her with such charms and spoke in a dignified manner. “You don’t know how excited I am to see you.”
Elizabeth only smiled because she too was not pleased with the man’s display of attention. She really didn’t wish for people to know that she was the Young Princess, and it would have been better if the man called her by her other name as Li Zi. The fact her identity as the Young Princess brings too much attention and trouble which she couldn’t have at the moment. She is this close of finding the person and she can’t have anyone ruining her plans.
“President Chen, it’s best if we head to your office now. There are quite a lot of people here and you’ve kind of done something which you shouldn’t have done.” Wang Ji went close to President Chen and whispered to his ears with a smiling face as if he was speaking in a pleasing tone.
But, President Chen knew the man was displeased with something. As he checked on the girl, she too was giving off such indifferent smiles. As he pondered on it more, it didn’t take him long to realize what he had done.
‘I’m screwed.’ he cursed himself for having made a fool of himself again in front of the Young Princess. To think he was such an idiot and just revealed you the girl was. He was too excited that he had totally lost track of everything and was spouting such nonsense.
“Please, this way. Everyone, you all should go back to work.” President Chen said, as he realized he had a lot of explaining to do later and a lot of people to pay to keep things locked in a box. ‘Cris, you b*stard.’
Meanwhile, Cris who was in the office felt a sudden chill down his spine and sneezed. He thought for a moment and could only think of one person who could be cursing him now. “Hmm, guess he made a fool of himself again.”
President Chen escorted Wang Ji and Elizabeth to his office. He was as quiet as a mouse and didn’t even make a squink when they were taking the elevator. He was really too afraid for his life now. To think he has offended the Young Princess by revealing her identity. What’s worse, there is another person who also has his life by the tread.
“President Chen, don’t worry. I’m sure none of them will spread anything.” Elizabeth spoke as she felt the gloomy energy the man was emitting quite troublesome. “Some recognize me as Li Zi which means, they know how to handle the situation.”
“Ah, you think so…” President Chen answered so innocently for he was too afraid to speak more words. The fact nothing good comes out of his mouth anyways.
“Yes, trust me, you don’t need to worry.”
“Okay.”
Elizabeth smiled at the man and spoke to him again, but this time, it was to complement and thank the man. “I thank you for taking in my request. I’m sure you’re in a rough situation right now.”
“Ha-ha, you can tell…” President Chen checked himself in the mirror around the elevator. He does look like he’s been out of shape lately. For not a day when the man resting in his office would suddenly have an episode and which he has to stay up all night to watch him in case things go out of hand.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll be greatly blessed by the heavens for helping him.”
President Chen didn’t care about what blessing he’ll receive. He just wishes to live a long life and not be killed by any of the two’s parents. One is the European King and the other, let’s just say he’s in the same standing as Lord Knightley.
As they headed to the president’s office, Elizabeth received a message which she was already expecting. She had this very pleased smile on her face, which Wang Ji noticed and couldn’t help but wonder.
“Lizzy, is something wrong?”
“Nothing, but it seems he was indeed the right man to ask the job for.”
President Chen realized what they were talking about and joined in the conversation, “Wait, don’t tell me you really found someone…” He couldn’t finish what he was saying because he realized they weren’t in a safe area to talk about it.
“You can say that.” But Elizabeth replied to answer both their curiosity.
“I’m curious to know who that person could be.” President Chen added as he couldn’t think of any research laboratory and universities who would be able to do such a thing and keep it a secret. Especially, most of the medical institutions in the country are controlled by the girl and boys’ families. That is why he was unable to do it since he knew that the man’s father will find out about it before they’ll even find out the result and truth about the medicine.
“You don’t need to worry about it, I trust him and he is a good friend of mine.”
Before President Chen opened the door, he made a teaseful comment, “He must be someone very close to you then.”
All of the sudden the door opened from the inside and a voice spoke.
“Or a lover.”
