Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: Baron Lawrence Gives No Face at All Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: Baron Lawrence Gives No Face at All Those who were aware knew that Baron Lawrence had mysophobia and would generally not voluntarily offer themselves up to be snubbed with physical contact.
So, even for greetings, they were mostly verbal, with very few people daring to extend a hand in his presence.
Baron Lawrence glanced at the man’s hand extended towards him, his deep-set hawk-like eyes revealing a flicker of impatience, but he still emotionlessly reached out and gave a perfunctory shake without engaging further with the man’s overture.
Skye Lawrence glared at him and stealthily stepped on his foot beneath the table, then, with impeccable manners, smoothed things over, “I’m sorry, my younger brother has always had a difficult personality, sowhat shy with new acquaintances and doesn’t talk much when he first ets soone. He’ll be better once he gets to know you.”
“It’s okay.” The man, quite magnanimous, smiled, withdrew his hand, and introduced the mixed-race beauty beside him, “This is my sister, Kendall Lynch. She just graduated from Habbs University and is visiting Country W on vacation. She insisted on coming today, sorry for the inconvenience.”
Although he spoke to Skye Lawrence, his eyes were on Baron Lawrence.
The girl nad Kendall Lynch was even bolder; she winked at Baron Lawrence and said with a laugh, “Brother, can’t I et my future sister-in-law? Why do you have to make it sound like I’m tagging along for a free al?”
“Okay, okay, of course.” The man seed quite helpless, letting her sway his arm before speaking up, “Alright, settle down. You’re a grown woman still acting spoiled, what kind of impression are you making on Skye and Baron?”
Kendall Lynch’s beautiful azure eyes stole another glance at the man across from her, her cheeks flushing as she sat down.
She hadn’t actually insisted on coming; in truth, her brother told her that his future sister-in-law wanted to set up a eting between her and her own cousin.
Even though it was just a eting and a al, in high society, such get-togethers were equivalent to matchmaking.
Kendall had been reluctant to co at first, but now she was secretly glad she did.
She picked up her water glass and pretended to drink, sneaking peeks at the man opposite her, his handso features, prominent nose, and thinly cut lips…
It turned out there really was a man more handso than her brother in this world!
Her heart began to thump wildly.
She thought her subtle actions were well concealed, but both Skye Lawrence and Oscar had noticed her little gestures.
Both found her actions quite pleasing.
If the Lawrence Family could form an alliance with Oscar’s family, it would be the best choice for both their families and themselves.
If they could maintain mutual fondness, nothing could be more perfect!
Just then.
The waiter ca over with steak and began to set the plates.
A flash of light crossed Skye Lawrence’s beautiful eyes as she elegantly initiated a conversation with the mixed-race beauty, “Did Kendall attend Habbs University? Baron also studied there for a while. That makes you Baron’s junior, doesn’t it, Baron?”
“Really?” Kendall’s eyes widened with surprise as she looked towards the man across from her.
The man furrowed his brows first, then under the watchful eyes of the three, he suddenly pulled back his chair, stood up, and, with a stern face, said without expression, “I just rembered that I have so unfinished business I can’t neglect. I’m afraid I won’t be able to dine with you. Enjoy your al, I’ll take my leave first.”
Without concerning himself with the reaction of those present, he turned and left.
This behavior could be said to be incredibly dismissive!
Skye Lawrence’s expression froze, and she stood up as well, calling after him from behind, “Baron!”
Baron Lawrence heard her call, but his footsteps only paused montarily before he continued to stride away with long steps, not looking back—
