Capítulo 35: Meeting with the PM

The next day, after another early morning check up with Dr. Yoshi, and fastidious promises from Mei to overwhelm Lina as little as possible, Shen finally felt slightly comfortable with her going to the consultancy for the meeting with the PM of B nation.

Lina was prepared and confident, she knew what damage control steps needed to be taken, and she wanted to test her negotiating skills. The PM wasn't a free actor either, and would have to do what was in the interests of his party and backers.

There had to be a give and take, and Lina had a huge responsibility.

Lina's eyes glittered as she saw the sexy black Lambo waiting for her out in the driveway. Shen looked disapproving but he'd already promised not to restrict her work too much.

"You're too paranoid, hubby! If you're the King of Moshi, I also must rule my Kingdom."

Shen looked at her aghast.

"I'M TOO PARANOID? YOU DEMOLISHED MY OFFICE TWICE!"

Lina shot him daggers with her eyes.

"Do you still want to live, hubby?"

He shut up immediately. This crazy wife had some insane unknown skills. He still had to investigate how she possessed such incredible martial talents.

There was so much she had kept concealed.

She looked through her closet and picked out a crisp white shirt, and light grey pants that fit her slim body like a glove. Her figure was magnificent with the seams outlining her curves, yet maintaining her professional persona.

She braided her long hair elegantly to the side and did her make-up in light pink shades. It suited her fair skin and she looked radiant.

Shen wondered at some of the changes.

Lina usually wore black clothing and blazer jackets and nude to brown shades with her make up. There was something more innocent, something more bunny-like about her now.

He liked both.

Earlier she was like a dark, powerful queen, once she became more confident in his presence, and now she was like the fairy princess she had been in the beginning.

'I don't know which one's real...'

His thoughts were interrupted by her smile as she walked up to him for a hug. She still hadn't physically warmed up to him, there was still a thin line they walked. It had hardly been a month since she had woken from her coma.

"Darling, wish me luck. I do after all, have to correct your horrendous mistakes!"

Shen's face turned dark.

Lina knew she had angered the devil and now she was seriously pushing her luck with him.

She stood on her tip toes and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"I'm sorry i'm sorry! Thank you for all your support, hubby."

The cloud over Shen's head disappeared.

"Good luck, angel. You will do amazing, as always!"

Lina sparkled at the praise and flattery from her husband. He could almost see her nose get pointier.

"Yes, yes, this boss is the smartest."

Shen: "..."

Husband and wife were no different from one another.

-- at the Consultancy offices --

Mei had specifically made sure not to bring Lina in through the main entrance. Only the higher ups and senior advisors who would sit in on the meeting knew about her return.

They were extremely curious to see how their boss was, but they didn't know about the amnesia. Only Mei knew.

Shen had made sure that fact was kept tightly under wraps.

Since Mei had already shown her photos of the people she would meet and the layout of the building in pictures, Lina tested herself when she got there.

She had imprinted the map of the whole building flawlessly into her brain. Even Mei was amazed.

The building was low key, natural tones, light colours and spacious rooms. She had made sure, before her coma to painstakingly design the new office building personally. It was her baby.

They were conducting the meeting in one of their most private meeting rooms. As Lina stepped in, 4 eager faces turned to the door, staring at her open-mouthed.

She recognised the people from the photos. This was the team that was consulting with her on the B nation matter.

She smiled and nodded at them.

"Good morning everyone!"

The four of them chimed in, greeting Lina, trying hard to act like everything was normal and she had never been gone. Then they greeted Mei who followed behind her.

"How have you been Ayaka?"

Lina turned to the geopolitical expert Ayaka Shinohara. She had to act familiar with her team. They needed to feel secure under her command again.

Ayaka smiled warmly and told her she was doing well, and asked after Lina's health.

"And Masao, Juri, how is your daughter!"

Masao and Juri Sata were her highest ranking international lawyers, who advised on cross-border legality. They had a an 8-month old daughter and had returned to work not long before Lina's coma.

Lastly, Lina greeted a very cold-looking, elegant man.

"Takashi, hope you've been well."

She didn't say much, because Mei had informed her that Takashi Hino was a quiet person and didn't talk or socialise unless it was imperative. So she kept her greeting short.

He nodded back at her with a sudden warmth in his eyes and then looked back away. He was the head of communications and operations. Everything went through him, intelligence, security, analytics and communication with their clients.

As Lina sat with her team, discussing the next plan of action and negotiation with the PM of B nation, Mei had left out a very, very important detail.

Mei had done so deliberately, but she began sweating as she saw the PM and his chief advisor walking in with their army of bodyguards.
