Chapter 692: 692: Bobby's Melancholy
“At the Orchid Club? Who with?” Bobby connected the dots after recalling the tone of the phone call just received, guessing who it might be. “Uncle Adam?”
“Yes.”
Bobby Swiftly stood up, clearing away his earlier gloom. “Then I need to go to the mall this afternoon to buy a gift!”
If it was Uncle Adam inviting them for dinner, Auntie Olivia would definitely be there.
He wanted to give Auntie Olivia a gift.
Baron Lawrence showed no expression, his hawk-like eyes glanced at him dismissively, then he stood up saying, “Wait for me to finish work this afternoon, I’ll take you.”
“But I can…”
“Wait for me to finish!”
Bobby swallowed the rest of his sentence.
After more than a year of spending nearly every day with the Baron, Bobby had gotten a clear read on his moods. As long as he didn’t annoy him too much, the Baron would generally let him be. But if the Baron emphasized something twice, it was best not to make him say it a third time. Because the third time, he would often end up being severely reprimanded!
Looks like this afternoon he could only go to the mall after the Baron finished his work.
Despite his displeasure, Bobby didn’t dare truly anger Baron Lawrence.
With his tiny shoes tapping on the floor, Bobby fell in step behind him.
The secretaries were all ears outside, looking at each other in confusion. There were no sounds of President Lawrence screaming or the young master whining. The door to the conference room was already open.
A large and a small figure came out of the conference room as if nothing was amiss…
“President Lawrence.”
“President Lawrence.”
When Baron Lawrence arrived at their area, he paused, instructing, “Organize this quarter’s financial statements and send them to my office. Also, bring the details about that project I was reviewing earlier.”
“Understood,” the secretary respectfully replied.
The imposing man resumed his stride and entered the President’s office.
After he entered, the secretary hurriedly went to get the things he needed. Unexpectedly, a small head popped out and sweetly said to him, “Uncle Thomas, could you also bring me a laptop when convenient?”
Just a moment ago, he was creating havoc unstoppable, bulldozing his way into the President’s office. Now, he was throwing hidden barbs again.
But with such a cute face, who could refuse him? The secretary thought for a moment, unable be but to ask, “Does President Lawrence permit this?”
“My… ” Bobby was close to a slip of the tongue, but quickly corrected himself, “My Dad permits it, just bring it to me.”
“Well… Alright then.”
Bobby received a favourable response, and contentedly followed into the President’s office.
Without any hesitation, Bobby headed straight for the spacious sofa in the President’s office. Kicking off his shoes, he casually sat cross-legged on the sofa. Although he was doing nothing, he eyed the man busily working. Seeing the man’s handsome profile, he couldn’t help feeling impatient.
He wondered how his woman was doing now. Did she give birth to his sister safely? How’s her health? Is she eating well? Does she miss him?
She abandoned him and ran away, she must not miss him at all!
Bobby hugged his frustrations, annoyed and anxious in turns.
Over the past two years, the Baron had grown increasingly good-looking and, more importantly, increasingly wealthy!
