Chapter 340 I Am Occupied, Let Him Go
As Angela brewed tea, the ongoing discussion outside caught her attention. Just as she pondered whether to step out or remain in, Yarrison entered the kitchen.
“Angela, is there anything I can help with?” Yarrison inquired.
Being acknowledged as Jonathan’s wife made Angela feel slightly uneasy, but she chose not to say anything.
“I have prepared some tea. Shall we take it out now?” She suggested, concerned that she might not be suitable to overhear the conversation outside.
Yarrison picked up the tea and reassured, “Let’s go, Angela. They are not discussing anything significant.”
The affairs of the Lorenzo Family were not confidential. There was no need to conceal anything.
The two exited the kitchen one after the other. As Angela approached Jonathan, she observed Jonathan patting Spencer’s shoulder and heard him say, “You will accompany me to the company today, where I’ll have someone help you get acquainted.”
Spencer agreed, “Okay.”
“What? You’re joining Jon’s company so soon?” Yarrison couldn’t help but ask Spencer upon hearing this.

Spencer replied, “Yes, I’ve been in a bit of a slump for a few days; it’s time to pull myself together.”
Seeing Angela emerge, Jonathan took her hand and inquired, “Will you accompany me to the company today?”
On the last day of the weekend, he didn’t want Angela to be alone, especially after the events. of the previous night; he couldn’t rest assured.
“I’ll go with you. Just to be cautious.” Since Yarrison and Spencer were present, Angela. refrained from mentioning Jonathan’s injury.
Jonathan nodded.
Yarrison departed as everyone went out. Jonathan explained to Angela in the back seat of the car that Spencer would assist at his company.

In regard to this matter, Angela merely listened without paying much attention. However, when Jonathan explained this to her, she found it quite intriguing.
Upon Spencer’s arrival at the company, he immediately began working with Jonathan’s subordinates while Angela remained in Jonathan’s office, engrossed in reading.
She had a meeting scheduled with Yaxley later in the afternoon to discuss a topic, so she needed to organize everything beforehand.
During a quiet moment in the office, the assistant outside suddenly knocked on the door and entered.
“Mr. Lawson, there is someone outside looking for you, claiming to be your brother. The Northland branch staff were unfamiliar with Christopher and doubted his identity.
Upon hearing that Christopher was outside, Jonathan glanced at Angela and replied, “I’m occupied; ask him to leave.”
Christopher had previously embarrassed himself in front of Angela, and his return raised suspicions. Is he planning to cause a scene once more?
Christopher might have had such intentions, but he wouldn’t be given the opportunity.
Upon receiving Jonathan’s directive, the assistant promptly went out to escort Christopher
away.
Angela inquired, “Does he have anything important to convey?”
Jonathan responded, “What important matter could he possibly have? It’s best if he doesn’t stir up trouble.”
“True.” Recalling Christopher’s previous disruptive behavior, Angela chose not to dwell on the matter. After all, troublemakers remain bothersome regardless of the setting.
With no further conversation in the office, both of them focused on their respective tasks.
Meanwhile, outside the door. Upon hearing the assistant’s message, Christopher muttered to himself before departing.
If it weren’t for Michael urging him to apologize, he wouldn’t have dared to approach Jonathan. He had no desire to encounter Jonathan–much like a mouse avoiding a cat.
Compared to Michael, his fear of Jonathan was more pronounced.
As he left Jonathan’s company, Michael called.

Reluctant to answer but fearful of the consequences, he eventually picked up the call after a
moment.
“Have you apologized to Jonathan?” Michael’s voice came through the phone, lacking softness and tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Christopher glanced at the hung–up phone, let out a bitter chuckle, and hailed a cab.
