Chapter 715: Chapter 715: So That’s How It Is
Enna Clark knew how stubborn this man was. Once he had made up his mind, it was almost impossible for him to change it. Likewise, if he wanted to ask a question, he would definitely get to the bottom of it!
She didn’t dodge his gaze, meeting his obsessive eyes head-on, and gave a firm answer, “No.”
Baron Lawrence repeatedly savored these two words, feeling for the first time that they were so pleasant to his ears. His hanging heart finally settled a little.
But as his hanging heart calmed down, a surge of unstoppable anger rushed up. He growled, questioning, “Then why did you pretend not to know me at lunch today? And why didn’t you come to find me after you came back? Damn it! Who gave you the guts? Did you eat bear heart and leopard gall or bear gall?”
Isn’t bear gall part of bear heart and leopard gall? Enna’s forehead was marked by three lines of speechlessness, wanting to remind him that bear gall and bear heart and leopard gall meant the same thing and didn’t need to be said separately.
“Speak!” Just because she answered late by two seconds, he already became even angrier. His handsome face was full of uncontrollable anger, and if looks could kill, she had no doubt that she would be strangled to death.
Enna sighed, struggled a bit but found that her shoulders were still firmly pinned to the wall, unable to move. She could only resign to not struggling anymore and looked into the man’s eyes. Her gaze was more determined and confident than before but still as clear as ever, as if she could see through everything with one glance, “I didn’t pretend not to know you.”
Shit! How could she not have pretended!
Baron Lawrence enunciated each word, “Didn’t you call me President Lawrence and introduced yourself?”
Enna suddenly understood what was going on. It turned out he had misunderstood. The situation at the time didn’t allow her to explain clearly, no wonder Baron Lawrence had misunderstood it this way, thinking she had amnesia. She looked into Baron Lawrence’s eyes, absolutely serious, “I didn’t pretend not to know you, nor did I not look for you. The first thing I did after getting off the plane was to find you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have met at lunch.”
She still hadn’t explained why she had introduced herself to him and called him President Lawrence so unfamiliarly.
Enna seemed to know what he wanted to ask and continued before him, “When I introduced myself and called you President Lawrence, I wanted to…”
Enna took a deep breath and candidly revealed her hidden thoughts, “I wanted to start anew with you, with a completely new identity. That’s why I introduced myself to you.”
Their first encounter six years ago was not pleasant, and neither was their reunion five years ago.
She had left for more than a year, wanting to return with a new identity and a new attitude, so she could be with him in a sincere and upright manner, creating more beautiful memories together.
That was why she had reached out her hand and called him President Lawrence, and introduced herself to him at the time.
She did all that just so they could start from an equal and balanced position and create a beautiful memory of their encounter. She never expected Baron Lawrence to misunderstand it this way, no wonder he had stormed away at the time.
She had originally planned to finish her immediate tasks and find him tomorrow, but he showed up at the entrance of their building, fuming with rage first. Thankfully, she didn’t have amnesia as he thought. If she really had amnesia, she didn’t know how disastrous it would be judging from his reaction.
