Chapter 386 We Share a Strong Bond
Florence only waited for half a minute before the front desk disconnected the internal line she had dialed and informed her. “Miss Shelton, Mr. Lawson is currently in a meeting, but the vice president assured me he will be down shortly.”
After relaying the message, the front desk gazed at Florence, who maintained a composed demeanor, her expression unreadable.
Spencer swiftly descended the stairs.
The individual descended was not Jonathan but Spencer, as Jonathan was occupied with Cassandra, who had just arrived at the company.
Upon reaching the ground floor, the tension in the air was palpable despite Florence’s efforts to contain herself.
“Miss Shelton, are you here to see Mr. Lawson?” Spencer immediately noticed Florence, flanked by bodyguards, and inquired.
“And you are?” Florence raised her gaze to the sky, displaying a cold demeanor towards everyone except Jonathan.
Unfazed, Spencer politely introduced himself.
Recognizing him as Jonathan’s vice president, Florence was not overly courteous, simply asking. “May I proceed upstairs now?”
Spencer, not one to beat around the bush, smiled and replied, “Certainly. You can go up, but what about your bodyguards?”
Before he could finish, Florence casually interjected, “They will wait for me downstairs.”
She had come to discuss matters with Jonathan and had no intention of bringing her bodyguards before
him.
Spencer breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for her to proceed.
The group of bodyguards behind Florence felt uneasy about her going alone, concerned for her safety, and wanted to accompany her.
Florence, with her straightforward attitude, could not be swayed. She glanced at them and commanded. “You all stay down here.”
Receiving her gaze, they obediently lowered their heads and stationed themselves near the front desk like
sentincis.
The receptionist nervously eyed the black–clad bodyguards, but Spencer reassured her with a gentle smile before escorting Florence to the elevator.
Florence was led to a meeting room, and only after Spencer departed did he instruct, “Miss Shelton, please wait. Mr. Lawson will join you after the meeting

Subsequently, refreshments were brought without any errors.
Frowning, Florence showed no interest in anything else and inquired, “How long must I wait?”
Considering Florence’s status and the nature of her meeting with Jonathan, Spencer hesitated before

Agreeing, Florence allowed him to proceed and reminded him.
Within moments, Jonathan appeared.
Upon Jonathan’s entrance, Florence rose and greeted, “Mr. Lawson.”
Spencer followed beside Jonathan, noting the stark difference in Florence’s demeanor from their previous
encounter.
Even her formerly cold tone had softened, leaving him bewildered as he observed Florence.
Florence glanced at him and couldn’t resist rolling her eyes.
Jonathan asked. “Miss Shelton, how may I assist you?”
Before entering. Spencer had already briefed his company’s security on the altercation between Florence and his staff.
Florence, the newly returned heiress of the Shelton Family, arriving at his company in such a conspicuous manner, seemed far from ordinary.
“If there is no urgent matter, why have you come?” Jonathan frowned, his demeanor already souring and his words lacking in politeness. “Miss Shelton appears to have a penchant for idle chatter.”
This was also the case when she suddenly called him last night. She started with some inexplicable
nonsense.
This remark made Florence furrow her brows as well. She smiled suddenly and said, “Yes, I do like it.” Despite his words, Florence couldn’t help but think: What I had said was clearly flirtatious, not idle chatter.
Spencer, however, could sense that Florence had feelings for Jonathan, but he furrowed his brow. Yarrison informed him about the previous night’s incident, and he initially thought he was joking. However, he was taken aback to discover that Florence truly had feelings for Jonathan.
“Mr. Lawson, I have other commitments to attend to,” Spencer declared, not waiting for Jonathan’s response before departing.
Jonathan’s swift exit caught Florence off guard.
Florence followed him into the office, appearing perplexed. Jonathan sat down and began reviewing some documents.
Upon witnessing Jonathan’s distant rejection, Florence couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight. Boldly, she smiled and declared, “Why not? I have genuine feelings for you. If you desire, we can get married today.”
Jonathan recoiled in disgust and responded icily. “Miss Shelton, please restrain yourself. I already have a
