189 Chapter 189: Meeting Roman Lee Part 2

With trembling knees, Roman Lee walked towards Daniella. He tried to hide his fear but his eyes were starting to form tears. 

He gulped hard as he stopped in front of her. Not even once Daniella blinked as if it was so normal for her to have her eyes open all the time. 

"What deal?" He asked in a high pitched tone so he cleared his throat and gathered all his courage. She's a woman a human-like him, he knew that but, she's no ordinary woman or even human. He knew it very good as he had spent most of his life obsessing about her existence. 

Unknown to him, Daniella has started reading his mind. The memories he had with the president and the plan they talked about. She could smell his fear and that scent was like a drug, it's so addicting. She wanted him to fear her, make him feel that she can crumple his life in just one blink but she's not there to do it. She came for peace. 

"There are things I want from you," she paused for a moment to weight his reaction. 

Baffled, Roman Lee creased his brows. He's no businessman but Daniella was acting as if she's one. 

"First, I want your share from the Su Financial Bank," the corner of her lips curled up in a bitter smile, "don't worry I will pay but only when the price is right." 

Roman Lee stayed silent, and with that Daniella continued. 

"Second, I want your daughter to stop pestering me, my friends and my fiancé." 

Shock overtook Roman Lee's mind upon hearing it. He had never heard that Evan Su and Daniella got engaged so his eyes lowered to her hands searching for the proof and there he found a thin gold ring with a round pearl. 

He blew out a shaky sigh and remained silent. 

"Third I want you to follow my orders. What and what you cannot do." 

Roman Lee's head tilted in confusion, "you are not my boss," he said after a long moment of silence. 

The bitter smile Daniella has on her lips faded, "I will be." 

She turned around and walked towards the couch. She settled on the single sofa and rested both hands on the armchair, sitting up straight as she owned it. 

"You can stop planning to kidnap me, you are wasting your time trust me," her eyes which black and cold were staring at Roman Lee deeply. 

"How did you-" Roman didn't bother to finish his sentence as he soon realized what she was capable of. 

Daniella scoffed. Crossing her legs her eyes looked up at the stairs. There she found a woman in her pyjamas clenching the stair rails with her hand angrily. 

"How dare you to come here?" Camille's mother shouted.  

She rushed towards Daniella but before she could reach her the woman raised a hand causing for her to stop. 

"I am not here to fight," Daniella said coldly to the woman, "I can crush your whole family, your husband, you and your daughter if I want too but it's too exhausting." 

Upon hearing it, Roman lee looked back to his wife, "go back to bed. I am alright here." 

His wife could not do anything than to go back upstairs and when she was gone, Roman jerked his head at Daniella's direction with a solemn face. 

"I have the president backing me including the Army General. Tell me, what will I gain from this deal?" 

A slight excitement rushed over Daniella, she can see how sceptical he was right now. 

"if you agree to the three terms I stated, you can continue with your experiment, studies, research or whatever you call it." 

Roman lee blinked in disbelief. His heart seemed to have stopped for a second while a static sound echoed in his ear. 

His breathing quickened, absently his hand touched his cheek and pinch it to make sure that he was not dreaming. 

'Is it real?' He asked in his mind. Was it real that Daniella was offering herself to have experimented in exchange for those three conditions? 

He could not believe it. Never in his wildest dream would he imagine that this day will ever come. It only meant one thing, he can operate her in peace. No crying, no pleading and no fighting. Daniella was willing to lay on the bed herself and be experimented. 

Roman Lee shook his head. It was just too good to be true. The hands-on his lap clenched tightly. 

"I don't believe you," he said in an almost whisper. 

And Daniella understood it. She thought it was stupid at first too but if she will work with Roman Lee at least some of her enemy will not dare to lay hand on her. It's not that she was scared of them but there were too much for her to handle. 

It was easy before since she could just simply disappear and go somewhere else but her goal changed. Her life and perspective changed therefore she decided to take the peaceful way of solving her problem even though it will cause her pain. 

It's just a pain, she said to herself. She was used to it. 

"I understand," she rose from her chair with a calm face, "forget that I ever come here then." 

She turned around casually, she has anticipated this kind of reaction and she was prepared for this. 

With normal steps, she walked towards the door. Her mind was at ease as she knew that anytime soon, Roman Lee will stop her. 

The clock ticked per second and with it was Daniella's heart thumping normally. 

"Wait!" 

She stopped by Roman Lee's voice. Slowly, she turned around and the smile that she can no longer hide appeared on her lips. 

"I will agree in one condition," he walked to her in a rush. His mind and body have calmed down. 

"What is it?" she asked with a raised brow. 

"Tell me," he gulped hard, "how do you read my mind?" 

Daniella smirked in surprise, she was not expecting this question. 

Leaning forward to his ear, she whispered, "through your eyes."
