Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Call Baron Lawrence Chapter 1317: Chapter 1317: Call Baron Lawrence Enna Clark glanced at her watch and, not caring about the steak that had lost its appeal, grabbed the insulated container her Auntie Poppy had packed for her and hurried out. “Auntie Poppy, I’m leaving now.”

“Miss, aren’t you eating lunch at home?”

“Yes, but I’m running late.” Enna quickened her pace as she walked out.

Auntie Poppy, seeing her in such a rush, guessed she was probably off to deliver a meal to someone. She didn’t say anything more and followed her, helping her open the car door. She urged with concern, “Miss, no matter how busy you are, you must remember to take a moment to eat something, or your stomach won’t be able to take it.”

“Okay.”

Feeling reassured after watching her get into the car, Auntie Poppy closed the door for her.

Enna placed the container beside her, buckled her seatbelt, started the car, turned it around, and headed back to the Lawrence Family Headquarters.

She tried to drive as fast as possible on her way there.

At last, she arrived at the company at 11:45.

She took the elevator directly to the 88th floor. Just as she reached the reception area, she was stopped, “May I ask who you are looking for?”

“I’m looking for Baron…” Enna suddenly remembered that she was in the Lawrence Family Headquarters, not the Linton City Branch Office.

Also, Baron Lawrence temporarily didn’t remember her.

“Hmm?” The receptionist waited for her to continue.

But Enna, with an apologetic tone, said, “I’m sorry, let me make a phone call. Could you please hold this for me for a moment?”

Seeing that she was carrying an insulated container, the receptionist, despite being reluctant and remembering a colleague who had been previously fired, frowned and said, “Put it here.”

Only, her attitude wasn’t great.

Enna placed the container on the reception desk and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows to take out her phone and dial Baron Lawrence’s number.

She had two cell phones, one for work and one for personal use.

The cell phone she used to call Baron Lawrence was the one for work.

After some static noise, the call connected.

“Beep…”

“Beep beep…”

Each beep sounded like a hammer on her heart, giving her an indescribable feeling of nervousness.

She wondered what Baron Lawrence was doing at that moment.

If he was busy.

If he would answer her call when he saw it.

If he didn’t answer, what would she do?

Should she take the container back, or should she sit here and wait to catch him when he comes out?

In an instant, Enna’s mind raced with thoughts.

After more than ten beeps on the phone, just a second before disconnecting, there was a click on the other end and the call was answered, “Hello.”

It was Baron Lawrence’s deep and sexy voice, unmistakably!

Taking a deep breath, Enna struggled to control the frantic beating of her heart. She clenched her fists, trying to calm down, and spoke softly, “President Lawrence, it’s me, the person from yesterday. Are you free right now? I’m at the reception area. If it’s convenient for you, could you…”

She hadn’t finished speaking.

The call on the other end was abruptly disconnected!

Disconnected!

He had hung up directly!

Enna had anticipated him not answering the call or the call not getting through, but she had not expected that he would hang up right after she had spoken only halfway.

Her eyes suddenly dimmed.

Her mouth tightened, and she wondered whether she should call again.

Just then.

There was a loud ‘bang’.

The door to the President’s office swung open, and a tall, arrogant man strode toward her—

He was dressed in a silver-gray suit that seemed to be tailor-made for his picky figure, impeccably dominating. Paired with his handsome face, he looked like the male protagonist straight out of a drama series, capturing one’s gaze without escape…
