At this moment, the butler walked in and said, "President, Mr. Gu, Miss Qiao, and Mr. Chen are here."
The president’s frown deepened and his face darkened. He was no longer in the mood to eat. "Bring them in," he said.
"Yes," the butler replied and left. Then, he invited them in.
Gu Zhou and the others walked into the living room and saw the President sitting on the sofa with a dark expression.
Gu Zhou and Qiao Nian exchanged glances. They knew that the president already knew what had happened last night.
"Mark called?" Gu Zhou’s eyes darkened as he asked in a low voice.
When the President heard Gu Zhou’s words, he glanced at his secretary beside him and said, "I have something on today that I can’t attend."
When the secretary heard the president’s words, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. "This..."
It was almost time for the meeting. Many people from the royal family had already arrived. If the president said that he would not participate now, it would probably be inappropriate.
The President naturally understood what the secretary meant. His tone turned cold. "Do you want me to repeat myself?"
"I understand." With that, the secretary hurriedly walked out.
Only the President, Gu Zhou, and the others were left in the room. The others had already left.
The president tugged irritably at his tie, suppressing his anger. "Mark is already on his way. What happened last night?"
Seeing the President like this, Qiao Nian thought of Lina, who had resolutely pushed her out of the window last night. Her neck felt like it was being strangled.
She was getting more and more worried about Lina. If only she had always been by Lina’s side.
Hearing Gu Zhou’s words, the President suppressed his anger. Although he was very angry, he did not completely lose his mind. He still had to form an alliance with Gu Zhou and Qiao Nian for the time being. "Mark said that he would rush over now. Just wait!"
As time passed, Qiao Nian realized for the first time that half an hour was so long.
The butler hurried in and said in a low voice, "Earl Mark has already arrived at the entrance of the palace."
"Send him in," the President said, putting down the coffee cup in his hand.
"Yes."
The President stood up, his mind filled with thoughts of how to negotiate with Mark. He saw that Qiao Nian had been staring at the photo above the fireplace.
It was a photo of their family of three. At this moment, the president’s anger had dissipated a lot. He walked to Qiao Nian’s side and took the initiative to say, "That was taken on the day of Lina’s coming-of-age ceremony."
