Chapter 225
Angeline had watched the laboratory videos countless times. Heather's hands were steady. Each experiment nearly perfectly replicated the previous one. Yet, the experimental data still showed issues.
Angeline suspected the experimental equipment might be the cause
Today, Angeline had to go out no matter what. There was only a week left until Robert's birthday banquet. She needed to prepare a birthday gift for Robert.
Robert lacked nothing in terms of rare treasures, but it was the thought that mattered.
She knew Robert liked porcelain. A few days ago, she had spoken on the phone with Eddie. During the call, Eddie mentioned releasing some new products soon.
Therefore, she planned to visit Eddie's porcelain studio today. She hoped to see if his new works were available.
She had just changed her clothes when the doorbell rang. Angeline walked over to the monitor. To her surprise, it was Robert and Asher. Instinctively. she turned to check the living room. She worried about leaving behind any of Sean's belongings. After scanning the room and confirming nothing was amiss, she tidied her hair and opened the door.
"Mr. Lawson Senior,” Angeline greeted as she stepped aside to invite him in.
However, Robert stood at the doorway, showing neo intention of entering. He asked, "I didn’t call ahead. I hope I'm not bothering you." "Not at all." Angeline replied with a smile. "Please come in.”
"I'd rather not enter," Asher said with a smile. "I'll wait here."
Angeline nodded. She bent down to fetch a new pair of men's slippers for Robert. Watching him sit on the couch, she asked, "What would you like to drink? I don’t have your preferred Earl Grey tea. Would lemonade be okay?"
Robert seemed surprised that Angeline remembered his preference for tea. He smiled and nodded. "That's fine. Thank you.”
As Angeline went to the open kitchen to boil water and find tea leaves, Robert's simmering anger toward Sean began to subside. He withdrew his gaze and took in Angeline's home in Krontos.
The apartment was over 2700 square feet. It wasn't very large but was clean and tidy, and the place was more than sufficient for Angeline.
Robert's eyes fell on a cufflink near a small corner table. He paused, then bent down with his cane to pick it up. He realized the cufflink belonged ta a man. His gaze was shifted to Angeline, who was busy in the kitchen.
He wondered about Angeline's boyfriend as he placed the cufflink on the coffee table, his hands gripping the cane and his brow furrowing. He had planned to discuss a potential arranged marriage candidate with Angeline during his visit. He wondered what if Angeline had a boyfriend.
Before Robert could ponder further, Angeline came over with the lemonade. She placed it in front of him. "Be careful. It's hot.”
“Thank you,” Robert said. He gestured for Angeline to look at the cufflink on the small table. "Do you have a boyfriend?”
Angeline's pupds contracted at the sight of the-cufflink. She was sure it hadn't been-there during her earlier ~ check. Ske felt like a teenager _~ gettingcaught dating by her parents. Her instinct made her straighten her baék nervously. 4
"You're an adutt It's normal to date. There's no need to be so nervous," Robert said to Angeline, showing a> warm srhile. "At the banquet, "LS announce to everyone that youve beceme Jessica's adopted daughter ané will join Lawson Global"
As he spoke, he thought of Sean and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Sean plans to leave the Lawson family and Lawson Global. Before you can take ayer Lawson Global with proven results, I'll take charge yselfl Astien has been with me for years.
