Chapter 12

　　She decided to return China because she wanted to live a quiet life, and didn't want to have anything to do with people she knew in the past. 　　"I don't mind if we stand around like this until dawn." 　　Jonathan was patiently leaning against the car, he was certain that she would not refuse. 　　Lauren was cold and sleepy, she just wanted to get into her bed and get a good night's sleep. She obliged and got in the car. 　　There wasn't any traffic this late into the night. Excluding the occasional red light, the car didn't stop at all, and both of them were silent. 　　When they arrived, Jonathan spoke meaningfully, with a rather indulgent tone, "Lauren, I've been waiting for you for so many years, I always think about you when I'm tired." 　　Lauren pretended not to understand. She told him to take care and left quickly. 　　At this moment, her heart was in a mess. Tonight will be another sleepless night for her. 　　The weekend went by in a flash. 　　Early on Monday morning, Lauren was woken up by her mother, "Fix yourself up, and pick a nice dress. You didn't go to the date last time. Aunt Wang next door was very reluctant to agree with me this time." 　　"I heard you, I heard you," Lauren responded in a daze. 　　"Meet with him in the evening and make a good impression. He has a good job, take advantage of him," Melanie continued to nag. 　　As a result, Lauren was forced to get up and was forced to put on makeup and was forced to pick a matte and pink skirt, and was pushed out of the house. 　　For the past few years, her clothes were almost black, white and gray, and she rarely wore such brightly colored clothes. She was very uncomfortable for a while, and it felt like everyone was watching her. 　　When she arrived at the company lobby, she saw him in the crowd from a distance. 　　He is still in an exquisite handmade suit, his strong legs were striding calmly and powerfully, the women around him were star-struck. 　　As he passed by, he put his hand in his pocket, his eyes exuding dazzling indifference and nobility. 　　"Make her go away," Terrence said to Donny 　　Donny was surprised. "Why so suddenly?" 　　Terrence sneered, "I don't pay you to ask questions." 　　Lauren also felt the indifference that Terrence radiated when he passed by. She knows it got worse with what happened last night. 　　She sat at her desk, and felt much better. 　　Monday is usually the busiest day for the evaluation department. A meeting is held for four to five hours to make plan revisions and comments about said revisions. 　　Anna said that the case in her hand was urgent and couldn't be delayed. Lauren just sat in her seat and didn't even dare to leave, she even didn't go for lunch. 　　At one o'clock in the afternoon, she finally completed the case successfully. 　　Just as she was about to stretch. She received a call from Manager Sun. 　　"Lauren, what happened to evaluation case? Why was it stopped?" 　　"Stopped?" Lauren panicked. "Manager Sun, I haven't received a notice yet, so I'll find out more about it and give you an answer later." 　　Manager Sun stopped being nice at this point. Lauren could feel his distress through the phone. 　　"Lauren, if you screw this up, you can just pack up and leave!" 　　Lauren put the phone down and figured something out. 　　This must have been done by Terrence. What she said last night must've insulted him. 　　That's right, someone who is aloof like him will definitely feel offended by such a thing. 　　In order to find out the reason, she first went to Anna, but she was told that she had gone to the branch office for a meeting. 　　Manager Sun was still waiting there. She couldn't delay it for too long. She had to go to the president's office to ask questions. 　　At the top floor, president's office... 　　Lauren stood outside the door for a few minutes, she tried to knock on the door, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. 　　Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside. 　　Donny was stunned for a moment when he saw Lauren, but he quickly returned to normal. 　　With his own high-level aura, he asked sternly, "Which department are you from? Did the general manager's secretary go on vacation?" 　　Lauren didn't dare to say that she had asked the secretary of the general manager for permission. 　　"I have an urgent matter to ask Mr. Gu—" 　　"President Gu? What business do you two have?" Donny was reluctant to let her in. 　　Terrence overheard their conversation and said, "Let her in." 　　Donny fully opened the door and let Lauren in, he immediately ran away after seeing the anger in Terrence's eyes. 　　"What do you want?" Terrence loosened his necktie, he was a little irritated. 　　"What I said last night was too much. If you were insulted, then I would like apologize," she said straightforwardly. 　　Terrence seemed to be smiling, and he walked closer to her with one hand in his pocket. "Do you think I care about what you think?" 　　He had just returned from a party, and the fresh smell of alcohol lingered on Lauren's nose. 　　Lauren lowered her voice as much as possible, "Then why was my evaluation case suddenly withdrawn?" 　　Terrence put his arms around his chest and leaned against his desk, "Lauren, tell me, why did you come back?" 　　He suddenly changed the subject, as if the tense atmosphere just now didn't exist. 　　"I think that's my personal business, it wouldn't be appropriate to tell you."
