Chapter 886 We Share a Strong Bond Chapter 386 We Share a Strong Bond Florence only waited for half a minute before the front desk disconnected the internal line she had dialed and informed her. âMiss Shelton, Mr. Lawson is currently in a meeting, but the vice president assured me he will be down shortly.â
After relaying the message, the front desk gazed at Florence, who maintained a composed demeanor, her expression unreadable.
Spencer swiftly descended the stairs.
The individual descended was not Jonathan but Spencer, as Jonathan was occupied with Cassandra, who had just arrived at the company.
Upon reaching the ground floor, the tension in the air was palpable despite Florenceâs efforts to contain herself.
âMiss Shelton, are you here to see Mr. Lawson?â Spencer immediately noticed Florence, flanked by bodyguards, and inquired.
âAnd you are?â Florence raised her gaze to the sky, displaying a cold demeanor towards everyone except Jonathan.
Unfazed, Spencer politely introduced himself.
Recognizing him as Jonathanâs vice president, Florence was not overly courteous, simply asking. âMay I proceed upstairs now?â
Spencer, not one to beat around the bush, smiled and replied, âCertainly. You can go up, but what about your bodyguards?â
Before he could finish, Florence casually interjected, âThey will wait for me downstairs.â
She had come to discuss matters with Jonathan and had no intention of bringing her bodyguards before him.
Spencer breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for her to proceed.
The group of bodyguards behind Florence felt uneasy about her going alone, concerned for her safety, and wanted to accompany her.
Florence, with her straightforward attitude, could not be swayed. She glanced at them and commanded. âYou all stay down here.â
Receiving her gaze, they obediently lowered their heads and stationed themselves near the front desk like sentincis.
The receptionist nervously eyed the blackâclad bodyguards, but Spencer reassured her with a gentle smile before escorting Florence to the elevator.
Florence was led to a meeting room, and only after Spencer departed did he instruct, âMiss Shelton, please wait. Mr. Lawson will join you after the meeting 1/4 Chapter 386 We Share a Strong Bond Subsequently, refreshments were brought without any errors.
Frowning, Florence showed no interest in anything else and inquired, âHow long must I wait?â
Considering Florenceâs status and the nature of her meeting with Jonathan, Spencer hesitated before behalf?â proposing. âMiss Shelton, if youâre in a hurry, shall I remind Mr. Lawson on your Agreeing, Florence allowed him to proceed and reminded him.
Within moments, Jonathan appeared.
Upon Jonathanâs entrance, Florence rose and greeted, âMr. Lawson.â
Spencer followed beside Jonathan, noting the stark difference in Florenceâs demeanor from their previous encounter.
Even her formerly cold tone had softened, leaving him bewildered as he observed Florence.
Florence glanced at him and couldnât resist rolling her eyes.
Jonathan asked. âMiss Shelton, how may I assist you?â
Before entering. Spencer had already briefed his companyâs security on the altercation between Florence and his staff.
Florence, the newly returned heiress of the Shelton Family, arriving at his company in such a conspicuous manner, seemed far from ordinary.
âIf there is no urgent matter, why have you come?â Jonathan frowned, his demeanor already souring and his words lacking in politeness. âMiss Shelton appears to have a penchant for idle chatter.â
This was also the case when she suddenly called him last night. She started with some inexplicable nonsense.
This remark made Florence furrow her brows as well. She smiled suddenly and said, âYes, I do like it.â Despite his words, Florence couldnât help but think: What I had said was clearly flirtatious, not idle chatter.
Spencer, however, could sense that Florence had feelings for Jonathan, but he furrowed his brow. Yarrison informed him about the previous nightâs incident, and he initially thought he was joking. However, he was taken aback to discover that Florence truly had feelings for Jonathan.
âSince you donât have anything urgent, we should go attend to our own matters,â Jonathan stated, preparing to leave.
Florence hastily interjected, âActually, there is something important, but I only wish to discuss it with you.â
Upon the arrival of Spencer and Jonathan, she remained silent, but the latter regarded her with a puzzled expression. Unwilling to be a mere spectator, she promptly requested Spencer to leave..
âMr. Lawson, I have other commitments to attend to,â Spencer declared, not waiting for Jonathanâs response before departing.
Jonathanâs swift exit caught Florence off guard.
2/4 09:57 Mon 25 Mat Chapter 386 We Share a Strong Bond However, what surprised her even more was Jonathanâs subsequent invitation after leaving Spencer. âSince you have something important to discuss, letâs continue the conversation in my office,â he proposed.
Suspecting that Florence might not have a genuine reason, he headed straight to his office.
Florence followed him into the office, appearing perplexed. Jonathan sat down and began reviewing some documents.
âYour office is quite impressive, Mr. Lawson, Florence remarked, not finding the situation dull and even complimenting Jonathanâs workspace.
Jonathan offered a superficial response.
âArenât you curious about the important matter I wish to discuss with you?â Florence inquired.
Assuming it was nothing of significance, Jonathan chose not to pursue the topic or display any curiosity.
Not particularly.â
Nevertheless, Florence disregarded his aloof demeanor and persisted. âI came here because I missed you.â Jonathanâs expression turned colder, and he firmly refuted, âYou and I are not that close.â
Upon witnessing Jonathanâs distant rejection, Florence couldnât help but feel a surge of delight. Boldly, she smiled and declared, âWhy not? I have genuine feelings for you. If you desire, we can get married today.â
Jonathan recoiled in disgust and responded icily. âMiss Shelton, please restrain yourself. I already have a wife.â
âWhere is she then? Why havenât I seen her?
Florence adopted a fearless facade, though inwardly seething with anger. She was well aware of Jonathanâs marital status.
Jonathan mentioned that his wife was waiting for his return home the previous night. Intrigued by Jonathan, she had investigated, confirming that he had a wife.
A woman like that could be easily dealt with.
However, she had not yet taken action against her..
She wanted Jonathan to handle the situation himself.
Hence, Florence raised her crimson lips slightly and calmly suggested, âJust divorce her.â
Her audacious demeanor elicited a cold glare from Jonathan.
âI have a good relationship with my wife and will not divorce.â He asserted.
A chill ran down Florenceâs spine as she was intimidated by Jonathanâs demeanor.
âMiss Shelton, if you have nothing further to discuss, kindly depart.â Jonathanâs words were direct, his tone equally blunt 09:57 Mon, 25 Mar Chapter 386 We Share a Strong Bond Florence narrowed her eyes, her gaze dark and mysterious. âYou wonât get a divorce? Very well. I shall wait.
and see.
Without waiting for Jonathan to escort her out, Florence departed with purposeful strides.
However, as she descended the stairs, her demeanour was noticeably less buoyant than when she. ascended, and the bodyguards dared not even breathe in her presence.
Upstairs, following Florenceâs departure, Jonathan placed a call to Angela.
Oliver answered the phone, informing Jonathan that Angela was still in a meeting.
Upon learning that Angela was occupied, Jonathan felt somewhat relieved. He inquired about the meetingâs conclusion time the following day before ending the call.
Rubbing his temples, he pondered how Florenceâs actions might impact her, causing him some concern.
