Chapter 609: I won’t like you!
“I…” Enna Clark finally got through to him on the phone, but upon hearing the cold and emotionless male voice on the other side, her throat seemed to tighten, and she didn’t know what to say.
In the past, Baron Lawrence had moments where he was hot-tempered and spoke harshly, but it had never seemed as distant as it did now.
As if he was not familiar with her.
She took a few deep breaths, quickly adjusted her emotions, and tried to make her voice sound normal, “I got up and saw you weren’t here, so I wanted to call and ask if you’d be back by noon. If you will be, Bobby and I will wait for you for lunch. If not, we’ll take care of it ourselves.”
“I’m busy.”
“I…”
Enna hadn’t even finished speaking when she realized, with astonishment, that the line had gone dead on the other end.
Baron Lawrence had hung up on her!
She stared at the hotel entrance where the Lincoln had stopped, her mood plummeting instantly…
…
In the Presidential Suite.
After hanging up the phone, Baron Lawrence was in an extremely agitated mood with a face cold as ice, clutching his phone tightly. Fortunately, his custom-made phone was of excellent quality; otherwise, he might have crushed it with the force of his grip!
The temperature in the room seemed to plummet from the moment he hung up and quickly reached a freezing point.
Even as slow-witted as Emily Goldsmith was, she could tell his mood was extremely bad. Unable to help herself, she asked, “Whose call was that just now?”
She was just asking out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, the man with a cold expression glanced at her and replied directly, “It’s none of your business!”
His attitude was clearly distant and cold.
It was the first time Emily had been treated like this by a blind date, but surprisingly, she was not angry. Her mischievous big eyes blinked, and she actually joked, “How can you know if you haven’t even told me? Maybe it’s related to me. It could be a woman’s call – then wouldn’t that make her my love rival?”
She made the joke to lighten the mood; most people would take the opportunity to ease the atmosphere.
However, Baron Lawrence’s brow furrowed, and his sculpted features appeared as sharp as a razor blade; he looked stunningly cold and fierce. The way he looked at her was particularly unfriendly, “Hasn’t Emilia Goldsmith told you about my situation?”
“What situation?”
Seeing him become even colder, Emily shrugged, “Ah, are you talking about the fact that you have a girlfriend?”
She casually opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Evian water, twisted the cap off, and took a sip. She settled comfortably onto the sofa, resting her chin on her hand, crossing her long, beautiful legs, “Of course I know you have a girlfriend, but that doesn’t affect our blind date. Relationships develop gradually as we get to know each other. I think you’ll like me eventually.”
“I won’t.” Baron Lawrence responded without a second of hesitation, his tone decisive, “I’m not interested in you, nor your family! Either you follow Emilia’s approach, and we cooperate on equal footing. Otherwise, name your terms, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them. You have to cooperate with me.”
“Any conditions?” Emily blinked her eyes.
Baron Lawrence had reached the limits of his patience; standing on the side with a sharp expression, he replied, “Any.”
“Even if I want you to carry me to Erdos Mountain to stargaze?”
Baron Lawrence’s hawkish eyes suddenly darkened, a trace of ruthlessness flashing through them, “…Are you playing with me?” Erdos Mountain was in Country W, and besides, he wouldn’t carry any woman other than Enna!
