Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: Skye Lawrence Received the Call Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: Skye Lawrence Received the Call The housekeeper didn't expect him to be so angry and hurriedly tried to calm him, “Old Lord, you are still in good health, please don't think like that.”
“I might not think so, but some people dare to act on it!” Old Master Lawrence seemed to be suppressing something and suddenly instructed, “Call Skye, tell her to come over.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper had just turned around.
Old Master Lawrence suddenly called out to him, “Wait.”
The housekeeper immediately stopped, turned back around, and placed his hands crossed in front of him, “Do you have any further instructions?”
“Tell her, no matter how busy she is, to come here immediately. I must see her in 3 minutes!”
“…Yes.”
Old Master Lawrence seemed tired as he waved his hand dismissively, “Go on.”
“Alright, Old Lord,” said the housekeeper as he hurried off to make the call.
At that moment, Skye Lawrence had just finished a phone call, looking somewhat upset.
Just then, her phone rang again. She glanced at the Caller ID, pulled out her chair, and apologetically said to the man across from her, “Sorry, I need to take this call.”
“No problem, President Lawrence, go ahead,” said the man across, not getting angry at her taking another call and showing complete gentlemanly grace.
Skye nodded, mustered a smile, and hurried to the entrance of the corridor to answer the phone.
“Hello, Housekeeper, what's the matter?”
“First Young Lady, the Old Lord wants to see you.”
Old Master wanted to see her? Skye's brows suddenly furrowed as she hesitated before asking, “Did Grandpa say what it's about?”
“This… The Old Lord did not mention it.”
“I'm currently negotiating with Vintage Corporation. If Grandpa isn't in a hurry, I can come over in the afternoon, is that okay?”
Skye thought that would be fine, but the phone then carried the methodical voice of the housekeeper, “Sorry, First Young Lady. The Old Lord has ordered that you must come in 3 minutes, and he also instructed that if you have any matters, they should be postponed.”
That urgent? A bad feeling loomed in Skye's heart, but Old Master Lawrence's authority stood firm, and she wasn't Baron Lawrence, bold enough to confront Old Master Lawrence directly. After a few seconds' pause, she made her decision, “I understand. Please ask Grandpa to wait for me for a while, I will be there in 3 minutes.”
“Alright, First Young Lady.”
After hanging up, Skye gripped her mobile phone tightly, deep in thought.
She stood in the corridor for a moment before turning back.
In the office, the representative from Vintage was waiting for her. Seeing her return, he smiled slightly, “President Lawrence, are you done? Then let's talk about the cooperation project we discussed before.”
Skye took a deep breath, looking still competent and spirited. With an apologetic smile on her beautiful face, she walked back and said, “President Geoffrey, I'm afraid I can't make it today. I need to go back to the family estate immediately.”
Without waiting for a response, Skye, as if she had read his mind, quickly added another line, “Tomorrow afternoon at 3, I'll come to Vintage to see you, President Geoffrey, and we can discuss the details of the cooperation proposal. Is that acceptable to you?”
The man's mood, which had been slightly displeased, suddenly brightened upon hearing her words. He stood up, extended his hand, and said, “Alright, since President Lawrence is busy, I won't disturb you. I'll be waiting for you in my office tomorrow afternoon.”
Skye also reached out and shook his hand, saying amiably, “See you tomorrow.”
