Rhine Corporation was extremely busy.
Everyone was involved in the final processes of an acquisition, integrating funds with the bank, the company was bustling, and clerks were running around non-stop.
Before she knew it, it was time to leave work. Enna Clark finished the acquisition meeting and returned to her office. She had her secretary organize the contracts she hadnât finished, took them with her, and headed downstairsâ¦
She had promised Bobby and Gigi she would come home on time every day. If her work wasnât finished, she would just bring it home to continue. Otherwise, her dear Bobby would surely throw a tantrum. Ever since she returned to the country, Bobby had become especially clingy.
Come to think of it, he must still be traumatized by the events of a year ago.
A year ago, she had left without saying goodbye, although it was against her will at the time. She had let Bobby down, and now that she was back, she certainly needed to make more time to spend with him.
âMs. Clark, youâre leaving?â
âMm.â
âMs. Clark, goodbye.â
âSee you tomorrow.â
Along the way, several people greeted Enna Clark, and she nodded to each one.
Upon exiting the elevator, she fished out her keys from her bag, preparing to head to the Parking Lot. Thatâs when she saw a super luxurious Lincoln Stretch Limousine stopped at the companyâs main entrance.
As soon as the Lincoln carâs driver saw her coming out, he promptly rolled down the window. âItâs Ms. Clark!â
The next second, the door of the Lincoln car opened. The driver quickly got down, opened the rear car door for Enna Clark, âMs. Clark, please get in. Lord has been waiting for you for a long time.â
âNag!â The man on the luxurious leather seat in the back furrowed his brows and growled at the driver impatiently.
The driver gave Enna Clark a smile as if to say he got the message, but he dared not make another sound.
Baron Lawrence had been waiting for her downstairs?@@novelbin@@
How long had he been waiting?
Enna got into the car, and the driver immediately closed the door for her, went around to the front, entered the car, and turned it around. Through the rearview mirror, he asked, âLord, are we going home now?â
âWhat do you think?â
Why was he being so chatty today! Wasnât it something that could be understood without having to be instructed?
âOkay,â the driver understood and drove the car towards Fragrant River Mansion.
The car began to move smoothlyâ¦
â¦
In the car.
Enna Clark took a few glances at the man opposite her. Before she could speak, the man stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and forcefully pulled her to his side.
âIf youâre going to look, do it up close. Youâll see more clearly!â
Ennaâs ears turned hot instantly, feeling as if sheâd been caught red-handed.
She had been merely curious about why he had finished work so early today, but the way he phrased it made the situation feel differently.
As if she were leering at him!
âI was just curiousâ¦â
Before she could finish, Baron Lawrence interrupted her, âDonât explain so much, itâs not that I donât allow you to look. Look all you want; Iâm allowing it!â
ââ¦â His response made it seem even more like she was leering at him!
Enna Clark couldnât clarify it with him, so she just bravely looked at him and asked frankly, âBaron Lawrence, why did you finish your work so early today? Have you been less busy lately?â
These past few days, he had been taking Gigi and Bobby out early and coming back late, and she had no idea what he was up to.
Today, he had come to the companyâs building so early to pick her up; she really felt like he had been quite idle lately. Could it be that suddenly he was not busy anymore?
No, that couldnât be right. She distinctly remembered how he used to be so busy that he wished he could turn 24 hours into 25. Why the sudden change?
