Ice and Fire novel Chapter 834

"Your mother is a great woman," Selina commented.

"But you are better than her when it comes to handling a business. You have the skill. H King Group have progressed a lot in the past few years because of your management skills. I heard about your company when I was abroad," Lawrence deliberately led the subject to business. He thought that talking about business with Selina would be more interesting.

"Well, H King Group has grown a lot but your company is still the biggest in the city. Then your parents settled in Hong Kong to exploit international businesses. Our company still has a long way to go," Selina countered. 'I am less capable compared to Jackson and Cherry, ' she mulled to herself.

"You and Uncle can also do that. And don't forget your loving son," Lawrence reminded.

"Austin shows no interest in business. I actually don't know what to do with him anymore," Selina complained with a sigh. She took a sip of coffee and went on, 'You have done a good job since you came back from abroad. And Mike has focused on his business too. On the other hand, Austin does nothing but get into trouble. He hit the headline on the entertainment news again yesterday. It was said that he dined with a French model."

"Austin always has a great deal of box news. When I was in college, I saw some of his photos in newspapers," Lawrence recalled. He was already used to such news since he could always read some tidbits about Austin and other foreign celebrities.

"Oh jeez! There's nothing I can do to him. So, when he comes back, you must help me teach him. I think he will listen to you," Selina proposed with a resigned expression.

"Well... I can help you. But..." Lawrence paused for a while.

"Go ahead," Selina urged him to finish his words. Lawrence stared at her first before he spoke again.

"You must do me a favor," he negotiated, meeting Selina's gaze.

"How dare you negotiate with me," Selina responded with a laugh. Knowing his temper, she asked, "Tell me what is it?"

"Please help me with the three elders. I want them to stop pestering me about getting married. I don't want to keep on dating different girls," Lawrence blurted out his request. This time he was caught off guard but he didn't want such things to happen again. However, he was not confident in handling the three elders without his parents' help.

"Well, as for that," Selina hesitated. She was weighing if she should agree to Lawrence's request or not.

"Aunt," Lawrence called out with earnestness.

"Oh, yeah?" Selina turned to look at him. She furrowed her brows for she didn't know what Lawrence was going to say.

"I will try to find a girlfriend as soon as possible. Just don't push me," Lawrence said somberly.

"But when?" Selina asked doubtfully. "You need to give me a deadline." She was thinking that Lawrence was just trying to trick her.

"Perhaps one day, one week or one month?" Lawrence answered with uncertainty.

"Okay, just remember what you said. I will convince your uncles to get their hands off your marriage matter but you can't set me up. You must settle down as soon as possible," Selina urged.

"Come on, Aunt. You know me. I am a man of action," Lawrence reassured Selina. "Of course, I know you are," Selina responded.
