"Mike... Corden," the man added.
Yasmin repeated the name under her breath and felt it sounded familiar.
The guard asked, “Your Majesty, should I tell him to leave?"
She waved. "No, let Rhea see him."
Although hesitant, the guard left to carry out her instruction.
Yasmin muttered, "What the hell is Rhea up to?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike discreetly scanned his surroundings as he sat in the reception room. Although he had been there
before, he was not familiar with the place. He gently caressed his phone as he waited.
After a while, he heard footsteps, and Rhea appeared at the door. She was surprised to see him,
narrowing her eyes as she said, "Didn't I tell you to come at night?"
She would not have the time to meet him if it were not for what happened just now. Still, she was
puzzled as to why the guards allowed them to meet. After all, only Fred knew what was going on
between Rhea and Mike.
'Does the queen know about this? If so, why didn't she ask me about it? Is she trying to see if I'd tell
her?'
Rhea sat on the sofa beside Mike and asked, "Where's the formula?"
"It's in my phone. I can copy it to you right away, but I'd like to know how Lily's doing." Mike placed the
phone face down on the table, trying to negotiate with Rhea.
Rhea was surprised, asking, "Lily?"
"That's right."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing him nod, Rhea chuckled. "I thought you were going to ask about your precious son. Did you
give up on finding him or something? Why would you care about someone else's wife?"
Rhea was upset. She did not like Mike but could not stand everyone caring about Lily so much.
After some hesitation, Mike asked, "Is she...still alive?"
"Why do you bother about her? Do you remember who you are?" Rhea eyed Mike suspiciously,
thinking something was amiss.
'Why would he ask me that if he's still in the hypnotic state? Besides, he's trying to get information from
me instead of readily giving me the formula. What does this mean? Something's off!'
Mike stared at her and said, "I'm Mike Gorden."
