"Oh shucks!"
Lauren immediately felt that something was amiss when she heard that Chelsea wanted to see Jordan.
Lauren said, "This... I can't promise that for you. I'd better wait until he's done in the bathroom so that he can reply to you himself.
"Okay then, sorry for bothering you, Mrs. Steele."
"Don't mention it."
Soon, Jordan came out of the bathing room with a towel around his hips. It was undeniable that the man had a body that made many women drool, and even though Lauren was his wife, she couldn't help but take another glance at his abs. They had just gotten married and she felt she would never tire of him.
Shaking herself out of her reverie, Lauren said, "Maggie called just now to say that her boss, Chelsea Adams, wants to invite you to lunch tomorrow at noon. I think Miss Adams should already know that you said that she's your subordinate. I heard that she is very bad-tempered and she's known as a domineering CEO in the entertainment industry. I think you'd better give it a pass."
Jordan grabbed a towel and wiped his hair. He said smilingly, "Why? Chelsea Adams is a famous bigwig in the entertainment industry. Before she became a boss, she worked as a celebrity manager and TV program producer. That reality, 'Idol Creation Camp' that Jenny is now participating in, was founded by her the year before last. As long as I conquer this woman, I will be famous in the country's business circle!"
Jordan decided that he had to meet Chelsea for the sake of his business trial.
Lauren gave it some thought. She thought that Chelsea might have asked to meet Jordan to test if he was telling the truth after hearing that Jordan knew Director Smith.
Jordan did know Director Smith and he wasn't bragging about that at all.
Lauren asked, "Should you ask Director Smith to come along?"
If they were to invite Director Smith along, there was nothing Chelsea could do to Jordan even if he offended her today.
Jordan shook his head and said, "Director Smith is a big director and artist. I can't just casually invite him to dinner. That'd be so disrespectful to him. Besides, Director Smith is filming abroad now. He won't be able to make it. Don't worry, I have a way to handle tomorrow's luncheon."
"Okay."
After washing up, Jordan returned to his room to put on his clothes before saying to Lauren, "Honey, I have something on and I have to go to the study for a while. Go to bed."
"Oh." Lauren was obviously a little disappointed.
Since the last misunderstanding between Lauren and Dr. Gale, the couple had been staying in separate rooms for days.
Now that they had finally made up, Jordan had to work again.
When Jordan saw Lauren's expression, he laughed teasingly and said, "Do you miss me because we haven't slept on the same bed for days? How about I accompany you for a while?"
Flushing slightly, Lauren was quick to deny it. "Psht. No, you go ahead and get busy with your work."
After saying that, Lauren went to bed and fell asleep. She then turned her body to the side and had her back facing Jordan.
Jordan did not leave directly and instead, walked towards the bed.
Hearing Jordan gradually approaching, Lauren hurriedly turned around and asked gleefully, "Aren't you going to go to the study anymore?"
To his surprise, Jordan was holding a cushion. He had come over to get the cushion.
Jordan saw the look of delight and surprise on Lauren's face and couldn't help but laugh and think, 'Hmph. It seems that the most beautiful woman in DC can't bear to be separated from me!"
Lauren frantically covered her face with the blanket, not daring to look at Jordan at all. It was really annoying for her to have a husband who could read minds and see through all her thoughts!
Jordan entered the study and switched off his $50,000 Apple iMac desktop computer.
It wasn't that he had to opt for such an expensive computer just because the Howards were rich. Rather, it was because Jordan would sometimes make music and Lauren would do some editing, both of which would require a high performance computer. Hence, they opted for the one with the highest performance specifications and best configuration.
After turning on the computer, Jordan began to search the Internet for information about Chelsea.
