Ice and Fire novel Chapter 922

He went to the reception area to give Lawrence time to finish his work. He went to look out the window and was treated to a marvelous view of the city. The building was situated at the center of the city and you could see the whole city from this height. It was indeed a relaxing view.

Ten minutes later, Mike saw Ivy leave the room, so he went to see how his friend was doing.

"Are you done?" asked Mike.

"Yes," replied Lawrence, as he tidied up his desk.

"Then let's go. We must not make Anna wait for too long. If she gets angry, she might not treat us to lunch anymore," Mike said, gesturing Lawrence to hurry up.

Without saying a word, Lawrence stood up and walked out of his office.

When Ivy saw Mike and Lawrence hop in the elevator, she clenched her teeth and spitefully murmured to herself, "Anna Dou, let's wait and see!"

Lawrence and Mike finally arrived at the restaurant. As they entered, they noticed that Anna was already there waiting for them, so they hurriedly approached her.

"Hey, Lawrence, there you are!" Anna happily said as she stood up. A big smile crossed her beautiful, pinkish face. But Lawrence said nothing.

"Hey, Anna. I'm fine, thank you for asking," Mike sarcastically said as he realized that Anna didn't notice him. He sat beside her and continued to grumble, "Well, I hope you did not forget that you also invited me here."

Anna laughed sweetly and then said jokingly, "There's no way I could miss such a handsome and decent prince, is there?" She tapped Mike's shoulder and continued, "I actually wanted to apologize to you because I didn't say anything to you at the party that evening."

"Oh, forget about it. I didn't mind at all," Mike replied, pertaining to that evening that Anna was talking about. Mike crossed his legs and leaned on the chair comfortably while saying, "I'm just wondering. Why didn't you let us know that you're coming back?"

"I want to surprise you both," Anna replied, smiling at Mike.

"Huh? Surprise us both?" Mike asked sarcastically. "Maybe you mean you wanted to surprise Lawrence. I know that Lawrence meant more to you, am I right?" Mike bantered. They knew each other back since kindergarten. When they were younger, Mike could only keep these things to himself, but now that they're older, he could now say whatever he wanted.

Anna just smiled and didn't say a word. She picked up her handbag and brought out two invitation cards. She handed each card to Lawrence and Mike while saying, "As you know, our family moved all our businesses to the city, so we intend to hold a business party to all our business partners and friends. I hope that you two can come."

It wasn't an ordinary invitation. It was specially made for the invitation and seemed to be expensive. One could say that the invitation was intended only for the distinguished guests because of its ingenious design – golden lettering, golden paper, and golden invitation. It could be mistaken for a gold bar.

"Wow! This is the most exquisite and well-designed invitation I have ever received. Well, I shouldn't be surprised since your company is the most successful investment group. This invitation just speaks for your group's reputation." Mike teased Anna again. He put the invitation into his pocket and said, "Count me in. I'll definitely be there."

"Lawrence, too!" Anna declared, thinking that Lawrence would come because Mike would. Her face lit up and continued, "I will introduce you to my father."

"That's wonderful and I'm looking forward to that!" Mike exclaimed. "Maybe I can also ask your father to invest in my real estate project."
