Audrey thought that she must hear it wrong, or perhaps she got the wrong call.
"Well, Grandma, what did you say?"
Kylee smiled, "You got it correct. It's Mrs. Huntley's grandson. He likes you very much and wants to meet with you. Mrs. Huntley and I have set up the time. The location is near your company. I'll send it to you later. It's at six this evening. Don't be late."
Audrey was still confused but Kylee had finished her words.
Not hearing Audrey's reply, Kylee reminded, "Remember, be polite. You just meet him for the first time. Be on time. It will make a good impression. Continue your lunch. I'll have lunch too."
After saying that, Kylee hung up.
Audrey blinked and looked at Bryson, who was sitting opposite her. Her phone was still in her hand,
"Grandma asked me to meet Alex. She set up the time at six tonight."
Just as Audrey finished speaking, her phone buzzed. It was a text message from Kylee.
She sent the address of a restaurant.
Audrey looked at it helplessly.
"Grandma has sent the address."
Bryson put a piece of fish in her small bowl, his expression blank.
"You don't want to go?"
"He just caused his girlfriend's miscarriage. I don't want to meet with such scum. Besides..." Audrey held her chin slightly and narrowed her eyes as she sized up the perfect man opposite her. "I already have a boyfriend."
Bryson raised his eyebrows, obviously pleased by her words.
He said in a relaxed tone, "Since you don't want to see him, I will ask Grandma to cancel it."
"Wait, I haven't finished."
"What?"
Audrey didn't speak until she ate the fish that Bryson put in her bowl, "We can't just let such a bastard get away with it."
"What's your plan?"
"I'll see him tonight!"
Bryson's face suddenly darkened. "You just said you didn't want to see him. But why?"
"I'm just curious?"
"About what?"
"About his evil personality." Audrey held her hands, her knuckles clicking and her eyes flashing coldly. "Since he came for me, I'll give him a big surprise."
Bryson was speechless.
...
In the Brook Villa of Pine City.
Lance sat beside the study, his legs crossing on the desk, his back leaning against the back of the chair. He was watching videos on an iPad, which was on his body.
Raye knocked on the door and came in.
"Lance."
Lance frowned without raising his head, his eyes still on the iPad.
"What is it?"
"You have an appointment this afternoon. Now ten minutes have passed. The guests are still waiting in the living room. Perhaps you should go and see them."
"No!" Lance said unhappily, "I'm busy!"
Raye was speechless. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Busy?
Lance was watching the video of Audrey's speech at the press conference this morning.
If he remembered correctly, Lance had watched it five times.
Raye took a deep breath and raised his courage, "Lance, you..."
Raye was disturbing him from watching the video. So Lance threw whatever he grasped at Raye out of annoyance.
"Get out of here! I don't want to hear your voice."
The drink was splashed on Raye, and his head was covered with tea.
Seeing Lance was so preoccupied, Raye could only sigh and go out.
He ran into Desiree when he just came out.
Desiree headed towards Lance's study without looking at him.
Seeing this, Raye stopped her.
Desiree stared at Raye and crossed her arms. "Raye, how dare you! Do you know who I am? How can you stop me?"
"Lance doesn't want to see anyone now, including you!"
"Interesting! He is trying to attract my attention so that I can change my mind. I know him only too well. Get out of the way, or you'll feel sorry for it."
Raye said nothing.
Seeing Desiree was stubborn, Raye got irritated. He stepped aside.
"OK, just go."
Raye turned around and left. He didn't want to get involved if Lance lost his temper later.
Desiree glared at Raye's back as she cursed internally. Then, she pushed the door open and went in
Lance was still preoccupied with the video of the press conference. So he did not notice that Desiree came in.
Seeing that Lance was addicted to the video, Desiree did not call him. Instead, she came quietly behind him. She hugged him from behind and kissed him on his cheek while he didn't notice her.
"Lance, you..."
Before Desiree could finish her words, she saw what Lance was watching. It was a speech by Audrey. Seeing this, her words were stuck in her throat.
In the video, Audrey was speaking at the press conference.
Desiree was so angry that she snatched the iPad.
This irritated Lance, his eyes burning.
"Give it back to me!" Lance shouted angrily.
"No!" Desiree pointed at Lance's nose with anger, "My brother is still in prison. It's okay with me if you don't care about him. But how could you leave for days? And now you're hiding here to watch the video of her."
"Give it back to me!" Lance's face darkened.
But as an arrogant woman, Desiree didn't do so.
"No, unless you find a solution to get my brother out of jail."
Lance sneered coldly.
"He deserves it. It has nothing to do with me. Give it to me!"
This completely irritated Desiree.
She smashed it on the ground very hard. Then the screen cracked and the iPad went black.
After doing this, Desiree looked at Lance arrogantly.
"Give it back to you? Fine."
