"What's wrong with blind dates? I think it's the best for you," Derek argued. "Besides, you parents met each other on a blind date as well," he added.
When Lawrence heard Derek's last statement. he was stunned for a moment. 'It's true. Dad and Mom met on a blind date, ' he thought.
As Mond noticed that Lawrence was wavering, he instantly took the chance to support Derek. "Just pick some girls, Lawrence. Then your Aunt will handle everything. She will arrange the dates with each girl," he persuaded.
There was a long silence in the room.
After a while, Lawrence finally opened his mouth. "Just select a few girls for me. Then tell me the date and the schedule later," he agreed with a straight face.
He then rose from his seat and took his leave.
While staring at Lawrence's receding figure, Derek gave out a slight smile.
"Looks like his parents' love story has a big influence on him," Derek remarked.
"It has to be. He loves his mother more than anything else in this world after all," Wilson added.
Lawrence returned to the company.
Before he could enter his office, he caught sight of Ivy who was sitting on her desk.
He gave Ivy a sidelong glance before he went straight to his office.
Both Ivy and Polly perceived the displeasure in Lawrence's aura. They exchanged glances and shook their heads. They didn't have any idea what had upset their boss.
Ten minutes later, Ivy and Polly heard the elevator door opened. They raised their heads and saw Selina walking out of the elevator.
The two stood up in a hurry and greeted her, "Hello, Mrs. Selina." Both of them stared at her in awe.
"Where is your boss?" Selina asked. "He is inside," Polly replied in a gentle voice, gesturing at the CEO office.
Selina didn't bother to knock anymore.
She just pushed the door and came in.
Lawrence lifted his head to have a quick look at the one who opened his office door then he went back to reading the files in his hands. Actually, he already knew who could his visitor be. After all, only very very few people could enter his door without any permission.
"Hello, Aunt," Lawrence greeted while signing some documents.
"Looks like I'm not welcome here," Selina whined. Since Lawrence seemed not to mind her and he just continued with his work despite her presence, she speculated that he must have already known the reason of her visit. "Of course not. Wait a minute, I just have an urgent document to sign," Lawrence replied.
With a helpless expression, Selina just shrugged her shoulders.
