Chapter 222: Meeting The President

"Please wait here, Doctor Athena. The president will call you in shortly."

"He’s in another meeting?" Athena asked the beautiful middle-aged secretary, settling into one of the lush sofas, which she guessed was imported from Italy—the artistry was quite peculiar to the country; elegant, and simple at the same time.

"Yes, with the chief of staff and a few cabinet members..." The secretary replied with a soft smile, staring at Athena longer than necessary.

"Is there a problem, uhm..."

"Joan..." The secretary filled in, smiling more widely.

"Yeah, Joan. Is there a problem?" Athena asked, placing her crocodile leather black laptop bag on her thighs and resting her hands on it.

"Not at all, Doctor Athena. It’s just that I’m a huge fan of yours. I can’t believe I’m seeing you up close..."

Athena raised an eyebrow, not understanding the hype. She wasn’t a musical artist kept away from the people by an excessive amount of guards. If Joan wanted to see her, she only needed to stop by Whitman Hospital.

However, Athena nodded all the same, smiling. It was good to have a fan; it could prove useful sometimes...

"So, the meeting—what’s it all about? Anything related to me?"

Joan pursed her lips, her smile disappearing as she contemplated divulging the president’s business to her role model.

Athena sighed. Maybe not useful... "It’s okay, I shouldn’t have even..."

But Joan shook her head. "It’s okay. It’s nothing much, since you’ll be going in soon. The meeting is about you. The cabinet members in there weren’t entirely pleased that the president wants to meet you personally. They are of the opinion that you should submit your research and laboratory location by force if you refuse to abide by the order willingly."

Athena’s brows shot up in surprise. Here she was, calculating her response if the president demanded her research; she didn’t know there were other influences.
