Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 898

King subconsciously looked at Nora, who was standing at the side and seemingly guarding them. In truth, though, she was leaning against the wall with her head tilted to the side and napping.

The Queen continued. "By the way, what are you coming to the UK for?"

King lowered his gaze and answered, "Mm, I have some business meetings to attend."

"What kind of business meetings require you to bring 100 people with you?"

King lifted his head and looked at the Queen intently. "Are you forbidding me from coming over?"

The Queen choked.

For some reason, she felt like the man's attitude had turned a little cold, and the perfunctory amiability from just now was gone.

The Queen wasn't afraid of him, of course.

It was just that, because she had a crush on him, she was automatically relegated to a disadvantageous position.

She explained patiently, "I'm not forbidding you from coming, but every visitor to Buckingham Palace is subject to strict scrutiny. After all, you should know that not just anybody is allowed to enter. You can only bring a maximum of 20 people with you into the palace!"

King bargained, "70."

The Queen sighed. "30 at most. No more than that!"

60."

The Queen:"?"

The Queen gritted her teeth and said, "35! No more!"

"55."

The Queen:"!!"

Did he think he was negotiating a business deal with her? Did he know the consequences of giving 55 of them the go-ahead into Buckingham Palace?!

The Queen couldn't help but ask, "What on earth are you planning to do there?"

"Business meetings."

Well, with that, she couldn't continue the topic with him any further.

Nora, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, seemed asleep, but in reality, she had been listening to them with her ears pricked up.

What kind of business meeting was he having? Was that the way to make a request to the Queen?

Just as she was secretly dissing him, the Queen heaved another helpless sigh, surprisingly showing him exceptional patience. She said, "I really take my hat off to you. You refuse to tell me anything, yet you insist that I give you clearance. 40 people—this is my limit."

"Deal."

King immediately replied with just a single word.

Only then did the Queen say, "What have you been up to lately? You..."

Before she could even finish, King suddenly stood up

and said, "I suddenly recalled that I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first."

The Queen:"??"

She stared at King, stunned.

Was he kicking her to the curb now that she had outlived her usefulness? And casting her aside as soon as she had served her purpose?
