Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Suddenly not allowing her to attend the meeting.
On the 88th floor, Enna Clark finally made two cups of steaming hot coffee based on Baron Lawrence’s usual preferences at home, and prepared to bring them to the meeting room.
Just as she reached the elevator, the doors opened and a familiar figure entered her sight. Enna blurted out in surprise, “You…” Wasn’t this the person who had helped her block the reporters at the kindergarten gate half an hour ago?
“What a coincidence.” Edward Jackson didn’t expect to run into her here either. Seeing her holding two cups of steaming coffee, he reached out proactively, “Let me help you with one.”
“I can manage on my own.”
“The coffee is too hot; let me help you.” Edward seemed gentle but assertive as he helped her with one cup of coffee, raising an eyebrow and asking, “Is this for the meeting room?”
“Yes.” Enna couldn’t resist his insistence and didn’t want to fight him in public, so she could only nod her head.
Edward carried the coffee and took long strides forward, followed by a line of people dressed in suits and ties, holding files. Each one of them looked at Enna in surprise, as if witnessing a miracle.
The Duke of the Habsden Family was actually helping this woman carry coffee?
Rumors had it that this infrequently seen Duke appeared elegant and gentlemanly in public. He was decisive and bold in his actions, surrounded by many female friends. Apart from the occasional scandals, he maintained an appropriate distance with every woman in public.
There was once a world-class Queen of Acting who thought she had climbed to the top and considered herself this wealthy Duke’s true love. She invited the paparazzi to take pictures, hoping to expose the scandal and force a marriage. Unexpectedly, the Duke suppressed the paparazzi’s news, and the female artist’s career plummeted rapidly!
It was evident that the Duke of the Habsden Family was both passionate and indifferent when it came to women, presenting a cold and cruel existence.
How could such a nobleman, who was always on guard against women and maintained distance from them, suddenly help a secretary with her coffee regardless of the situation?
What was the relationship between these two?
Enna didn’t know Edward’s identity, so she didn’t think helping with coffee was something worth being shocked about. She carried her cup and followed Edward into the meeting room.
The people inside all turned to look—
Seeing President Lawrence’s ‘girlfriend’ and the Duke of the Habsden Family carrying coffee, one in front of the other, everyone hesitated for a moment.
They exchanged glances.
Baron Lawrence saw it too, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed! As soon as Enna placed the coffee in front of him, he grasped Enna’s wrist.
“Hm?”
Enna was about to go back to the pantry to make tea for the others when she realized her hand was caught, only later realizing what had happened.
There were so many people inside the meeting room, including people from other companies, but he still grabbed her hand so openly.
Enna’s cheeks felt hot, and she glared at him before breaking free. She quickly left and went to the pantry to fetch the tea…
As soon as she had made ten cups of tea in the pantry, the secretary walked in. She greeted Enna politely, “Hello, Ms. Clark.”
“President Lawrence asked me to come and help with the tea.”
Enna was happy, “That’s great. You take two cups and I’ll take two cups; it’ll be faster.”
“Uh,” the secretary said hesitantly, “President Lawrence just ordered me to go over by myself.”
“…Why? Isn’t it faster with two people?” Enna didn’t understand.
