Chapter 2340: Chapter 2349: He Has to Go Out for a While
He didnāt rush to answer the phone. Instead, he first opened the car door, got out with his phone, and walked to the side.
Only then did he place the phone by his ear, his voice like ice, radiating a chilling coldness, "You better give me a good reason not to kill you."
You better give me a good reason not to kill you!
The person on the other end of the phone was flustered at first, then quickly said, "President Lawrence, I didnāt mean to call and bother you. Itās just that just now..."
"Just now I went down to the pharmacy to buy some painkillers, and I noticed two strange people following me."
"Strange people following you?" Baron Lawrenceās eyes darkened, the anger in them gradually subsiding into seriousness.
Miranda Lewis was extremely pleased, confident she had bet correctly. She immediately said, "Yes, two strange people were following me. At first, I didnāt notice them, but when I was about to make a call, the reflection on the phoneās screen showed their shadows. I was really scared and ran back to the hotel immediately. I remembered that you, President Lawrence, instructed me to call you immediately if I found anything strange, so... I called you. I didnāt mean to disturb you."
In the beginning, she pretended to have a stomachache to call this man, only to receive a scolding in return.
When Baron Lawrence showed his displeasure mercilessly, she was frightened. To make it seem more believable, she actually went down to buy some medicine.
But what she intended to buy wasnāt painkillers; she wanted to buy laxatives.
She had made up her mind to make herself sick for real in order to capture this manās attention.
However, after she went down, she truly noticed two strange men seemingly following her. She suddenly remembered what Baron Lawrence had told her, summoned her courage, and decided to gamble.
Gambling on how much this man really cared about whether someone was following her.
As it turned out, her bold gamble paid off.
She seemed to have figured out a way to spend more time with this man.
Mirandaās eyes darted around quickly as she pretended to be scared, saying, "President Lawrence, who on earth is following me? I havenāt offended anyone. What should I do now? Call the police?"
Thereās no way Baron Lawrence would let her call the police. Wouldnāt calling the police scare them off?
Even though he was reluctant to see Mirandaās pretentious behavior again, he still said, "Wait there, Iām coming over right now."
"President Lawrence, youāre coming over?" Miranda was truly delighted this time.
Baron Lawrence, however, didnāt respond to her at all and hung up the phone mercilessly.
After putting down the phone, he furrowed his brows, planning to go back and tell Enna Clark to go home first.
Only to find that Enna Clark had somehow appeared behind him, having no idea how much she had heard.
"Are you going out?"
Enna Clarkās tone was casual, and her expression was natural, but for some reason, his heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, his thin lips pressed tightly into a line, his hawk-like eyes staring at her, "Yes, I need to step out for a bit."
He was just going to the hotel to check if there were really people following Miranda.
If there were, heād investigate the identities of those two people and see if he could uncover more information.
If not, and it was that womanās fabricated lie to deceive him, then that woman was dead meat!
"Enna Clark, Iāll be back soon."
For some reason, he couldnāt help but add another sentence. Damn it, he clearly hadnāt done anything guilty towards her, so why did he still feel a twinge of guilt?
