Semua Bab Second Marriage to Mr. Rich: Bab 341 - Bab 350

"When are you meeting up with Monica?" Sean asked."At 12:30 pm. Jamie has already booked a private room at Camelia Cuisine," Angeline replied honestly. "Alright." Sean pressed a kiss at the corner of her lips. "I've made an appointment with some of my clients to play golf in the afternoon. I'll be heading back from the golf course."Just then, his phone vibrated. Picking it up from the desk, Sean looked at it impatiently. Angeline got up from his embrace. Still gasping for breath, she began to tidy her clothes and hair hastily.Angeline spoke out when Sean declined the call. "I'll head back to the office first. I'll update you about the meeting with Monica when I return." "Okay." He nodded.Sean pulled out a cigarette after watching Angeline leave. Holding it by the corner of his lips, he lit the cigarette to placate the desire that had almost consumed him. …That day, Monica didn't hesitate to agree when she received a call from Angeline to have lunch together.

"Ms. Lara, please calm down. I think that Mr. Lawson doesn't feel anything for you. Everyone knows how his personality is—he's not approachable at all. He wouldn't have put you on the spot simply because of Ms. Monica. It's more likely that he wants Lawson Global to have a slice of the cake!" Lara's assistant whispered to her.All three of the Scott daughters worked in the company and were equally important in rank. To avoid any confusion, everyone referred to them by name instead of addressing them all as "Ms. Scott"."Regardless, get in touch with Sean and figure out what Lawson Global is planning," Lara said irritatedly.Lara's assistant soon returned from her task. "I called Mr. Lawson's assistant, Mr. Powell. He says that Mr. Lawson doesn't know anything about this. So, he asked around. He called me back earlier and told me that Lawson Global's newest vice president, Ms. Lawson, signed the papers for land No. 3.""Ms. Lawson?" Lara frowned. "You mean… that adoptee, Angel

"Isn't discussion part of doing business? If you don't think it's fair for me to want half of the profits, Ms. Lara, we can discuss this further. It's impossible to think that we can close a deal in just a single meeting." Angeline smiled as she lifted her teacup. "I'm in no rush. You can take a look at the proposal first."Angeline may not be in a rush, but Lara was desperate. Angeline was deliberately putting on a show. Since she already promised Monica that she would bring her into the fold through the project team, she had to keep that promise. Lara would definitely turn down Angeline's proposal if this were mentioned to her.If Angeline initially set the bar high for Lara but gradually lowered them, she could still achieve her goals."As far as I know, Ms. Lara, this project needs a substantial amount of capital. Rather than have Scott Incorporated work together with multiple smaller companies, why not join hands with us, Lawson Global, instead? Our income streams guarant

Angeline's heartbeat quickened as the garage door rolled down."What's wrong?"Sean's lips curved into a smile as he leaned in closer to her. He reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears as he asked in a low voice, "When I asked you where you were going for lunch, I was asking you if you were going to eat nearby your office or if you were going to eat at home. What else could I have been asking?"Angeline's face burst into flames as her breathing grew chaotic. She had to admit that her mind was in the gutter when Sean asked her earlier this afternoon. She had misunderstood him entirely then.When he saw Angeline's flushed face, he instantly understood her thoughts. So, he reached out to pull her in for a kiss.Robert had been standing outside with his cane in hand. He watched in shock as Sean kissed his granddaughter.Asher's eyes widened with shock as well. Reflexively, he reached over to support Robert's weight. "Sir."At the sound of Asher's voice, Sean turned his head

"Mr. Lawson Senior, perhaps you should first hear what they have to say!" Asher requested on Sean and Angeline's behalf."Let me ask you this..." Robert looked at Sean. "Is Angie one of the reasons you want to leave the Lawsons and Lawson Global? Apart from the reasons you gave me last time?""Yes." Sean didn't hesitate.Robert gripped his cane as he laughed. "Wonderful, you two… Such a good stepson you are, and what a good granddaughter I have!"Angeline paled when she saw Robert stumble backward with a hand to his chest. She and Asher immediately dashed over to hold him up. "Granddad—"Robert shook her hold off."Please, Mr. Lawson Senior, take a seat while I fetch your medicine." Asher helped Robert into a chair before rushing upstairs to retrieve his medicine.Robert's hand remained on his chest as he glared unblinkingly at Angeline before glaring at Sean. "When did this start? How long have you been hiding this behind my back?""About four or five years…""S
