Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Lying About a Friend’s Visit Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Lying About a Friend’s Visit She had changed her clothes and put her phone in her purse; next, she had to inform Baron Lawrence that she was going out.

How was she going to tell him about her going out? If she couldn’t find a good reason, it was very likely he wouldn’t let her go.

Enna Clark felt somewhat uneasy, mentally drafting what she’d say to him later.

As she contemplated, she walked toward the exit.

Before she reached the living room, Scott Harris had already spotted her and asked in surprise, “Miss Clark, are you going out?”

In the living room apart from him, herself, Baron Lawrence, and a few servants, there was no one else.

Also, aside from the sounds of Baron Lawrence’s video conference, everyone else subconsciously kept quiet.

With Scott Harris suddenly asking this, all the attention abruptly shifted to her, including that of the man wearing a Bluetooth headset who was in a meeting.

That penetrating gaze was difficult to ignore.

Enna Clark forced a smile, and said vaguely, “Ah, yes, a friend asked me out, so I need to step out for a bit.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Baron Lawrence’s voice arrived as expected, “What friend?”

“A… friend you don’t know, just someone I met in Capital City, Tiffany Clifford. You don’t know her.” Enna Clark steadied herself and lied with eyes open, “She came to W Country for her honeymoon and called me to catch up over a cup of tea. I haven’t seen her in so long, and it’s such a rare opportunity that I agreed.”

Sister Tiffany did get married recently, but she went to Pacifica Island for her honeymoon, not W Country.

She shouldn’t have lied, but she had already promised the housekeeper not to tell Baron Lawrence that the Old Master had come to Spirelin City. She couldn’t tell the truth, so she had to lie.

Baron Lawrence narrowed his eyes, as if scrutinizing the believability in her words.

At this moment, Scott Harris interrupted, “Is it that friend from the radio station where Miss Clark worked? She’s in W Country? I remember you two got along really well and often spent time together.”

Under Baron Lawrence’s intense scrutiny, Enna Clark could barely hold up. Scott Harris’s words were like a lifeline to her. She immediately said, “That’s her, yes, she and her husband came together. Sister Tiffany took good care of me, and since I left Capital City, she’s been busy, and we have had no chance to meet. Now that there is an opportunity, I couldn’t refuse her.”

She looked toward the man on the sofa with hopeful eyes and negotiated, “So, President Lawrence, I would like to go and have a drink with my friend. Is that okay?”

The man on the sofa turned off his Bluetooth headset, squinted his hawk-like eyes, and suddenly said, “I want some honey water.”

Enna Clark was cooperative, promptly saying, “I’ll make it for you.”

Saying this, she quickly went to the water dispenser, found a glass, filled it halfway with hot water and halfway with cold to mix them together, then took out some honey, poured it in, stirred it, and brought it back, setting it on the coffee table.

“There, drink up.”

Baron Lawrence didn’t drink but merely glanced at it and said indifferently, “Weren’t you going out? Go ahead.”

“You agree?”

“I don’t need you to stay here with me!” His tone was unmistakably grumpy.

The Old Master was waiting for her, and Enna Clark had no choice but to pretend she hadn’t noticed that, blinking her eyes, she immediately said, “Then I’ll head out now, I’ll be back quickly.”

After finishing, she ran out as if she was afraid that someone might change their mind.
