But even if she knew, it wouldnât change her mind.
Baron Lawrence was no fool; Bobbyâs genius was inherited from his genes. He was a genius himself. Even if he had low EQ, it didnât mean he had low IQ. She didnât believe that Baron Lawrence hadnât considered the possible scenarios he might face before announcing his marriage.
Since Baron Lawrence knew what he was up against and still chose to announce his engagement, even giving her a romantic proposal,
why should she back down?
If she really took the initiative to bow out, it wouldnât be for Baron Lawrenceâs sake; it would be a slap in his face!
âMs. Lawrence, I know that what Iâm saying now might make you think Iâm not considering Baronâs best interests, that Iâm selfish. But Iâve really decided to be with Baron. I like him, and I know that both he and I will have to face pressure. Iâm prepared to bear it with him. No matter the consequences, I wonât leave him to face them alone.â
Skye Lawrence looked at her deeply, without responding.
After some time, Skye steered away from their previous topic, extended her hand, and said, âMs. Clark, youâre much more interesting than I thought. Perhaps I should introduce myself. Skye Lawrence. You can call me Sister Skye from now on, âMs. Lawrenceâ feels too distant.â
Enna Clark knew she had passed the test for now and took her hand, âEnna Clark. Just Enna is fine for Sister Skye.â
âHahaha, Iâm afraid if I start calling you Enna, and Baron hears it, heâll get mad at you.â
Before Enna could smooth things over, Skye Lawrence released her hand and dismissively waved it off.
âI know my brother well; heâs as wary of me as he is of a wolf. He definitely doesnât want you anywhere near me. The moment you become the âEnnaâ in my mouth, itâll be no surprise if he guesses. When he loses his temper, itâs on you to bear it.â
And truly, when Baron Lawrence lost his temper, it was something to endure, much too much for the average person.
It seemed that Skye Lawrence understood Baron Lawrence very well.@@novelbin@@
âLet me check the time.â She glanced at her watch and then said to Enna, âLetâs finish our coffee, and Iâll take you back to your company. You probably have work to do, and I donât want to take up too much of your time.â
âItâs okay; I can take my work home to do it.â
âNever mind, you go back; Baron might not even want you to do it.â Skye Lawrence picked up her coffee, started drinking, and, while drinking, said, âI heard Adam Sinclair is dating your friend. Whatâs her name again?â
âOlivia, right?â
ââ¦â Enna didnât respond.
With a playful raise of her eyebrows, Skye continued, âThis is the first time Iâve seen Adam take a relationship seriously, so Iâm really curious about your friend. Next time you have a chance, bring her along. Letâs all hang out together. I want to see what kind of woman has tamed such a notorious playboy like Adam Sinclair.â
Curiosity was the reason, then.
Only then did Enna say, âNext time, if thereâs a chance, Iâll treat you and Olivia to a meal.â
Despite her commanding presence, Skye Lawrence was a very conversational person and very good at communicating with others.
Every time the conversation was about to end and the atmosphere turned awkward, she always managed to find a new topic and smoothly shift the conversation in a new direction. Gradually, the atmosphere became natural.
Enna and she finished their coffee, resting for a moment.
It took a little over an hour.
Just as Skye Lawrence had said, she checked the time and drove Enna back to her company.
This time, Skye Lawrence didnât drive as fast as before, smoothly delivering her to the entrance of her company, waved goodbye, and drove away in a brisk, decisive manner.
