Chapter 1576: Chapter 1576: Suddenly Called to the Rooftop
Enna Clark finished the video conference and finally persuaded all the shareholders.
Baron Lawrence had been busy for several days, and she had been busy along with him. Now, she was so tired that her temples were throbbing. Leaning back in her swivel chair, she rubbed her temples until the swelling subsided a little. Before she could even close her eyes to rest, her phone on the desk started to ring frantically.
Startled by the noise, she reached out to grab her phone and glanced down. Sure enough, the words “Maniac” danced on the screen, exuding the sa domineering insistence that wouldn’t cease until its aim was achieved, just like a certain soone.
She answered the call and held the phone to her ear, “Hello?”
No sooner had she uttered the greeting, Baron Lawrence’s domineering and llow voice ca through, “Co to the rooftop.”
Then, he urged impatiently, “I’m waiting for you, hurry up! I want to see you in 5 minutes, I want to see you!”
Click.
The phone was hung up.
Enna Clark’s temples throbbed twice as she glanced at her watch.
It was almost eleven o’clock now. Why would he ask her to go to the rooftop at this late hour?
Also, was it even possible to go up to the top floor of the Lawrence Headquarters Building? And how would she get there?
Enna Clark asked a secretary, who was also working overti, about the way to the rooftop. She took the President’s exclusive elevator up to the top floor.
Ding—
As the elevator doors opened.
The night wind from atop the skyscraper over sixty floors high imdiately gave her goosebumps.
Because of the height, the stars in the sky seed within reach, as if she could touch them with just an extension of her hand.
The view was utterly different from what she usually saw from lower heights.
Her eyes imdiately found the man under the canopy of stars, and even amidst the brilliant celestial bodies, he was still the most dazzling one!
Dressed in a sharp suit, he exuded a commanding presence. Those obsidian-like eyes were firmly fixed on her, shining brighter than the stars above.
Enna Clark hadn’t yet approached when an irked voice sounded overhead, “Is your head filled with water? I already told you to co up to the rooftop, didn’t you know to bring an extra piece of clothing?!”
Then, her arm was forcefully pulled over, and she crashed into a warm chest. Before she could look up, her back, which had just gotten goosebumps from the cold, was suddenly enveloped in warmth.
A faint scent of sandalwood mixed with mint was soothing to the soul.
He took off his coat and draped it over her!
Enna Clark felt a warmth in her heart but before she could revel in it for three seconds, “Enna Clark, you are so clumsy, how do you survive in society?”
“…”
Enna Clark decided not to argue with him. After all, she had seen the news and knew that his mood must not be good right now, and the pressure was quite large. She ignored his words and looked up to ask, “Baron Lawrence, why did you call up here?”
“Can’t I call you up here without reason?”
Enna Clark, “…”
Her head was suddenly turned forward, and a man’s deep and pleasant voice sounded above her, “Look ahead!”
Ahead?
Enna Clark looked forward and saw the never-ceasing stream of traffic below. The combination of streetlights and headlights from above looked like several flowing rivers of light. Beyond that, the outlines of various buildings could be seen. Standing high above and looking down at the lights of thousands of hos evoked an involuntary sense of grandeur and high spirits.
However, had he been insistent on calling her up just to look at the night view?
