Chapter 236 - The Cooperation Offer
She looked up from the window as the car began to move but she could not see the floor his office was located.

She made sure they met frequently for the purpose of finding a way to sort out the issue of the disappearing scientist.
That was what was trending on the internet and no one had any idea about where those people were taken to and what they were used for.
Their families were crying out, even those that had lost them and the police told them they either ran away from home or they were kidnapped came out after a few years and it caused a protest in the A city.
Aurora saw it on TV, on social media and on other articles and she could not relax knowing more people will probably die because they were stalling.
She knew the company where they suspected the people were but she could not say anything for fear that those being held in the company will die.
They could not invade the place for a rescue without proper plan. It could lead to the death of those scientist who are still alive and what she wanted was maximum survival.
She left the plan to build her company with her friends who despite their disagreeing personalities, still worked well together for a common goal.
She decided to reach out to other people she could trust and there was only one person she could go to.
She contacted him and told him about her desire to meet him face to face. He offered to come to her in Star City but she chose to visit him in B City herself.
She sent a text to Liam about it and he immediately told her not go.
She did not bother arguing with him since she was at a moment when she knew she could not waste time and every second meant a lot.josei
The protest was getting serious and her exams was just at the corner. Some students joined the protest and the school was always deserted but the school administration was determined to continue.
At the airport, she called Liam. "I don't care about your reasons for wanting me to stay in Star City and I don't know what you are thinking about by telling me to be patient when I cannot do a lot of things.
"I might be powerless but I can not hug one thigh and wait for your response for eternity.
"You don't seem as passionate as you used to be about the people so I am going to someone else for help," she told him in one breath.
"You can go if you wish to but remember that in B City, you are not under my protection."
Hearing the cold reply he gave her, she froze and her hand holding the phone tightened around the phone until it began to hurt.
She pulled the phone away from her ear stiffly and sighed before hanging up.
She encouraged herself as fear began gripping her heart that she was going to be alright and she had her guards with her and the Hart family with be there for her.
She could not imagine anyone making a bold move against her in B City.
She was confident through the ride and when they finally arrived where they were going to meet, she walked into the tall building fearlessly getting the attention of people who knew who the building belonged to.
When she stepped into the building, Mr. Hart was waiting for her with other guards. She smiled and walked to him before stretching her hand to him for handshake.
The whole kingdom began wondering what the public meeting between the princess and the head of the Hart family was about.
Aurora could have done it secretly but she did not bother because she wanted the world to know that she had powerful supporters and even if the north was unwilling to protect her, then the south will do a good job with that.
"I think you should leave that to us. We have been investigating it. If that is what you came all the way here in B City to discuss, then I must say that it was not necessary," Mr. Hart told her seriously.
"My coming here is a symbol. I can imagine what will happen next in this kingdom especially the southern part.
"They are angry and since we can not let them know who has the scientists, we must find a way to calm their hearts and prevent this protest from getting out of hand," Rose explained.
"You are the only person who can do that."
That statement, Rose froze. She did not believe that he was going to put it so bluntly but she was willing to help.
"How? How can I do that?"
"Appease them. I can not let them know that I am involved. I am after all a simple business man but letting them know that you are with them and you know what they are going through and that you are willing to help them, they will calm down."
"Could you make an opportunity for me to assure them?"
"What do you want? A press conference?"
"I never thought of a press conference and if I will do one, it will be best for me to do it in Star City," she replied him in agreement.
"Yes, you are right. For that, I will step out of it and move that responsibility to the person who can do it in B City."
"I will try my best here and have people investigate it in A City. I believe they are in A City and whatever they are doing, they plan to use it to destroy people in B City.
"They must be plotting something really dangerous against the south and it is only right to make it stop. I long smelt a war but I am yet to see it although I know that the war is not too far from this moment.
"If we can make a move before them, it could either lead to a termination of the war or the acceleration of the war."
"Can you work with Liam to make it happen? There is always strength in unity."
"I am open for it although he has to get punished for deserting his family but I am sure if he will be willing.. You are his wife, if you are not able to persuade him to cooperate, then I won't bother about the thought of a cooperation."
