“Yes.” Compared to the surprise of others, the attendant standing behind Edward Jackson kept it simple and immediately followed the order to draft the contract.
Soon, the contracts were drafted in two copies.
Baron Lawrence signed one of the contracts in a flamboyant manner, and Edward Jackson took out an ancient and warm jade-carved seal from the carved antique box and stamped it.
After exchanging contracts and having both lawyers confirm that they were accurate, Edward Jackson took the lead and extended his hand in an elegant and calm manner, “President Lawrence, may our cooperation be a pleasure.”
Although Baron Lawrence didn’t want to shake hands with him, he still reached out and symbolically shook it, “May our cooperation be a pleasure.”
…
After seeing off Edward Jackson.
Baron Lawrence tightened his thin lips, shook off a group of people who were chattering about contract issues, took big strides, and returned to the president’s office.
Enna Clark had been waiting in the president’s office, almost dozing off. At last, she heard the door opening. She stood up subconsciously, and upon seeing Baron Lawrence, she rubbed her eyes. Her voice still had a sleepy tone, “Is the meeting over?”
With a stern face, Baron Lawrence pulls her into his embrace, bites her neck, and says in an unhappy tone, “Enna, why did the Duke of Habsden help you with your coffee just now?”
By rights, this woman shouldn’t know Edward Jackson. Yet, the details of Edward Jackson helping Enna Clark with her coffee still bothered him greatly.
“Do you know him?”
Habsden? Enna blinked her eyes twice, not remembering the awkward name, but she realized who he was talking about, nodded, “I’ve seen him twice.”
So Enna actually knows the Duke of Habsden? Baron Lawrence frowned deeply, and an inexplicable sense of crisis came to his heart. He couldn’t help but grab Enna’s wrist, “Where did you meet him?”
“We just bumped into each other twice on the street, but we never really talked. I don’t even know his name, and he doesn’t know mine…” Enna, even though she was slow to realize, felt his jealousy and added, “He probably just happened to see me carrying two cups of coffee and thought it was a bit troublesome for me, so he lent me a hand.”
Considering the wealth and status of the Habsden family and Edward Jackson, he didn’t believe they would be so affable and helpful.
But, he believed what Enna said.
The difference in the living environment of Edward Jackson and Enna was too significant, and it was unlikely for them to have any contact.
If there was contact, he would have known it by now.
He frowned as if to catch a fly.
Could it really be that Edward Jackson suddenly got a whim to help someone out of the blue?
“Where did you bump into him?”
Why is he still asking her this? She already said it was a coincidence that they met twice, “On the way to the hospital for a check-up.”
“Why did you meet him while on the way to the hospital for a check-up?” When did the Duke of Habsden become so easy to bump into?
“…” It was just an accident when she was bumped onto the street by children playing and narrowly missed being hit by a car; there was no reason for it.
“Why don’t you say anything?”
Enna could bear it no longer. She looked at him with bright eyes and countered, “Are you interrogating me now?” She had already said it was just a coincidence that they met twice, and neither of them even exchanged names. What more could she explain?
He just asked her a few questions, and this woman actually dared to talk back to him impatiently. Did she eat some bear’s heart or leopard’s gallbladder? Baron Lawrence glared at her angrily, and Enna stared back, their gazes meeting in a fierce standoff.
Damn it!
Baron Lawrence was the first one to give in. He leaned down and bit her lip as if venting his frustration. His eagle eyes locked on to her, and he gritted his teeth, “Can’t you see that I’m jealous?!”
