Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Baron Lawrence Left Directly
Enna Clark smiled gracefully, taking the initiative to tilt her head and empty the red wine in her glass in one go. Her slender neck contrasted with the wine glass, making her look extremely beautiful.
Baron Lawrence, however, felt an indescribable discomfort.
He drank all the red wine in his glass, then slammed it heavily on the table.
There was a loud ‘bang’.
He pulled his chair back, enveloped in coldness, and abruptly stood up. “I have some things to attend to, I’ll be leaving first.”
President Lewis, who was on good terms with Baron Lawrence, frowned and said, “Uh, Young Master Lawrence, the dinner just started. How about you leave after eating?”
Wasn’t Baron Lawrence also here to discuss business?
The dinner had only just begun; why was he leaving already?
Baron Lawrence’s temples throbbed as he suppressed the torrent of emotions in his chest. He glanced around the private room, and when he saw Enna, his gaze paused only momentarily before quickly shifting away.
His expression didn’t seem to change, but those who were familiar with him could tell that his eyes had become colder.
It was like a volcano covered with ice and snow, just one step away from erupting.
“No, I’ll pass. You all enjoy your meal.” He picked up his things and walked out without looking back at Enna again.
If he stayed, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist dragging this woman away in public!
He was even more afraid that he would lose control of his emotions, causing irreparable consequences!
Nathan Harris watched him leave the private room and immediately tried to lighten the atmosphere. “It’s a pity that President Lawrence left before we started eating. Well, let’s eat.”
“By the way, Ms. Clark, isn’t your company discovering a new oil field in Country T? I’m very interested in it, and I’ve already discussed my ideas with your company’s project manager. Has he relayed my thoughts to you?”
The person being asked seemed to be in a trance, not responding to him.
Nathan Harris patiently called her again, speaking kindly. “Ms. Clark?”
“Hmm?” The daydreaming person finally came to her senses, her bright eyes looking at him.
“I was saying that I am very interested in your company’s newly discovered oil field. I have discussed my thoughts with the project manager. I wonder if he conveyed my intentions to you, Ms. Clark?”
With Nathan Harris leading, the other two remained unwilling to back down.
“I’m also very interested in the oil field. Can Ms. Clark open the collaboration terms?”
“Now that President Lewis and Young Master Harris have spoken up, I’m going to be straightforward. I’m also very interested in that oil field. I’m eager to cooperate with Rhine.”
None of the three were willing to give in.
Everyone was waiting for the hostess of the dinner to speak.
The private room fell silent for a second.
Then, a soft but powerful voice of a woman was heard. “I apologize to the three of you. I already have a candidate for collaboration in mind. Unfortunately, he just left. I will get in touch with him later. Today’s dinner is my apology to all of you. Please enjoy your food.”
The one who had left was none other than Young Master Lawrence!
Nathan Harris’s face turned dark for a moment, but his quick response salvaged the situation. “Haha, it’s alright, Ms. Clark. It’s no problem if you have a candidate for cooperation. If there’s a chance, we can still cooperate; my thoughts won’t change anyway.”
The others were not fools either. In the business world, nothing is certain until contracts are signed. Enna had merely said she wanted to cooperate with Baron Lawrence, but who knew if that would actually happen in the end?
They followed suit and expressed their stance. The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively once again…
