Chapter 958 Meeting Aria (1/2)

Lawrence had no intention of answering their boring questions.

He rose, walking toward the door. ”Do your jobs. Don't forget your assignment,”

he spat out and walked out of the private room.

Lawrence took the lift and stepped out on the 13th floor. As he pushed open the door of the presidential suite, he found Anna standing at the French windows, appreciating the view.

The moment Anna heard the door open, she turned around and saw Lawrence come in.

”Lawrence,” she gushed, sprinting over to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled in his arms cozily.

Lawrence made no response to Anna's casual intimacy. The stony look on his face lingered when a few moments later, he grabbed her arms and removed them from around his neck.

”What are you doing here?” Lawrence asked, his voice distant.

”Surprise! I knew you were here and I missed you, so I came over,” Anna replied cheerfully. It had been a while since she met Lawrence. She had finally inquired about his whereabouts and wasted no time in coming here. How could she let go of this opportunity?

Lawrence walked over to the couch and settled himself on it. Anna followed him and took a seat next to him. Restfully, she rested her head on his shoulder.

”I heard that FS Empire has entered a stable period. Congratulations!” Anna said as she absently ran one finger down his arm. Lawrence remained silent.

”It's no big deal. It's my job as the President of the FS Empire,” Lawrence responded flatly. He wanted to push Anna away but dropped the idea. 'I'm surprised. She is usually a reserved girl. She isn't acting like herself today. We haven't met each other for nearly a month, so perhaps she is just excited, ' he brooded.

”It's not an easy job to complete the merger of four companies and keep them running in order. You're probably the only one capable of this. I don't think anyone else could have it done,” Anna said, the admiration evident in her voice. She appreciated his talent and excellence. Since she was little, she had known he would go on to do great things. Lawrence was certainly handsome, but what attracted her the most about him was his intelligence.

”Did you come here to discuss business with me?” Lawrence asked impatiently. He had no interest in continuing this topic of conversation. 'I know how to manage my own company! I don't need others to teach me, ' he thought with some displeasure, annoyed.

”Of course not,” Anna replied instantly, drawing back a bit. ”I have something to tell you.”

”What is it?” Lawrence asked her in a clipped tone, running his fingers through his hair.

”My Dad invited your father to a meal tomorrow noon. He hopes we will be there too,” Anna answered cheerfully. 'If I hadn't begged my Dad for it, he wouldn't have agreed to take me with him. I wouldn't have the chance to have lunch with Lawrence then. Now, I can dine with him and meet his father too. If I behave well, Mr. Jackson might even like me. I might finally be able to marry Lawrence, ' she thought to herself, the corners of her mouth turning up.
