Ice and Fire novel Chapter 905

As soon as he came in, Lawrence halted in surprise at what he saw. Mike was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Lawrence immediately flared up. He strode towards his desk and dropped the pile of documents forcefully. Mike jerked out of sleep because of the loud sound.

Mike fluttered his eyes open. When he saw that Lawrence was already in his seat, he sat up slowly.

'You're back from a meeting, eh?" Mike asked while yawning. "If you feel sleepy, you should have gone to the lounge. Don't you know where it is?" Lawrence reproached with a disgruntled look.

"Don't get angry, okay? I intended to wait for you here but I didn't notice that I drop off," Mike explained. "I promise, it won't happen again," he added.

He tried his best to ease Lawrence's anger. He knew that his friend was a rigid, principled man. He never allowed someone to do something irrelevant in his office.

Lawrence fixed his eyes on Mike with a livid face. He suddenly remembered that Aria waited for him and ended up sleeping in the balcony last night. He couldn't understand why Mike could fall asleep in such a neat and serious office. 'Did he stay up the whole night yesterday, too?' he asked himself.

"What are you doing here?" Lawrence asked. 'Looks like we meet too often recently, ' he thought.

"I have no place to go except here. I was kicked out by my Dad," Mike replied with a resigned expression. He even shrugged to show his helplessness.

"Do you need me to buy an apartment for you?" Lawrence asked again. He actually didn't know what really happened.

"Do you think I'm short of money? And my Dad had already started the real estate business. I have a place to live," Mike retorted. 'I know he is rich. But I'm not a beggar. Why does he always show off his wealth in front of me?' Mike thought as he was staring at Lawrence.

"So what are you trying to say?" Lawrence asked while going through some files. "Dad interrupted my sleep and forced me to go on a blind date," Mike started to explain.

"I have no other choice but to turn to you for help," he added and pretended to look pitiful.

"You can stay in my house. Lily can take care of you there," Lawrence offered. Anyway, it had been a while since he didn't live in his home. It was fine with him to let Mike use his room.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I'd better call Tim and ask him to reserve a presidential suite for me," Mike turned down his offer.

Suddenly, they heard someone talking from the door.
