Chapter 834 A Deal With Aunt Selina (Part Two)


    "Your mother is a great woman," Selinamented.


    "But you are better than her when ites to handling a business. You have the skill. H King Group


    have progressed a lot in the past few years because of your management skills. I heard about your


    talking about business with Selina would be more interesting.


    "Well, H King Group has grown a lot but yourpany is still the biggest in the city. Then your parents


    settled in Hong Kong to exploit international businesses. Ourpany still has a long way to go,"


    Selina countered. ''I am less capablepared to Jackson and Cherry, '' she mulled to herself.


    "You and Uncle can also do that. And don''t forget your loving son," Lawrence reminded.


    "Austin shows no interest in business. I actually don''t know what to do with him anymore," Selina


    came back from abroad. And Mike has focused on his business too. On the other hand, Austin does


    nothing but get into trouble. He hit the headline on the entertainment news again yesterday. It was said


    that he dined with a French model."


    "Austin always has a great deal of box news. When I was in college, I saw some of his photos in


    newspapers," Lawrence recalled. He was already used to such news since he could always read some


    tidbits about Austin and other foreign celebrities.


    "Oh jeez! There''s nothing I can do to him. So, when hees back, you must help me teach him. I


    think he will listen to you," Selina proposed with a resigned expression.


    "Well... I can help you. But..." Lawrence paused for a while.


    "Go ahead," Selina urged him to finish his words. Lawrence stared at her first before he spoke again.


    "You must do me a favor," he negotiated, meeting Selina''s gaze.


    "How dare you negotiate with me," Selina responded with augh. Knowing his temper, she asked,


    "Tell me what is it?"


    "Please help me with the three elders. I want them to stop pestering me about getting married. I don''t


    want to keep on dating different girls," Lawrence blurted out his request. This time he was caught off


    guard but he didn''t want such things to happen again. However, he was not confident in handling the


    three elders without his parents'' help.


    "Well, as for that," Selina hesitated. She was weighing if she should agree to Lawrence''s request or


    not.


    "Aunt," Lawrence called out with earnestness.


    "Oh, yeah?" Selina turned to look at him. She furrowed her brows for she didn''t know what Lawrence


    was going to say.


    "I will try to find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Just don''t push me," Lawrence said somberly.


    "But when?" Selina asked doubtfully. "You need to give me a deadline." She was thinking that


    Lawrence was just trying to trick her.


    "Perhaps one day, one week or one month?" Lawrence answered with uncertainty.


    "Okay, just remember what you said. I will convince your uncles to get their hands off your marriage


    matter but you can''t set me up. You must settle down as soon as possible," Selina urged.


    "Come on, Aunt. You know me. I am a man of action," Lawrence reassured Selina. "Of course, I know


    you are," Selina responded.


    "So just trust me, okay? There is nothing to worry about," Lawrence assured her again.


    He felt good that he was finally able to convince his aunt. Now, he wouldn''t be dealing with the elders


    alone anymore.


    "Okay," Selina agreed. Then she rose from her seat, preparing to leave. She reminded Lawrence, "I will


    send you the addresster. Don''t forget to meet Mary Han at 8:00 tonight."


    "Got it!" Lawrence answered with a smile.


    "I''ll take my leave now," She bid goodbye to Lawrence. She was actually still worried that Lawrence


    might not attend the date tonight.


    "Bye, Aunt! I will get ready for tonight''s date after I''m done with my work," Lawrence said on purpose to


    erase Selina''s misgivings.


    "Okay, bye!" Selina turned and left the office.


    After Selina took her leave, Lawrence returned to his seat and dialed a number. "Come to my office


    now," hemanded after he got through to the other line.


    A minuteter, Ivy knocked on the door and entered the office.


    She stood in front of Lawrence''s desk and looked down at her shoes. Since she was aware that she


    did a mistake earlier, she couldn''t afford to meet her boss'' eyes. ''He must have gotten angry.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have wanted to see me now, '' she spected.


    "Raise your head," Lawrence demanded gruffly. He was infuriated at the sight of the timid Ivy.


    Ivy lifted her head to looked at Lawrence slowly. With a fearful expression, she uttered, "Mr. Lawrence,


    I... I am so sorry for making the mistake earlier."N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    "Ivy Li," Lawrence called out her full name. "You were hired without even undergoing an interview. So


    you think you can do anything you want in thepany, uh?" he yelled at Ivy.


    "Please, Please don''t get me wrong," Ivy faltered as she dropped her head again. She didn''t dare to


    look into Lawrence''s eyes.


    "If you make a mistake again, you better note here anymore," Lawrence said petntly.


    "It won''t happen again. I promise. Thank you for giving me another chance," Ivy apologized as she


    bowed to Lawrence many times.


    Actually, Lawrence wasn''t mad at Ivy. He was just afraid that Ivy might have overheard about his going


    on a blind date. ''If other employees know about it, they might gossip, '' he thought.


    "Get out," Lawrence said after a long pause. He couldn''t fire Ivy or transfer her to another department.


    Anyway, after their conversation, he confirmed that Ivy didn''t know anything about his talk with Selina.


    "Yes, Mr. Lawrence," Ivy replied obediently before turning around to leave.


    She didn''t even dare turn back in fear that Lawrence might change his mind.
