De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Refraining

"You came very early today, Mr. Austin."

A well-built middle-aged man with slightly reddish hair mixed in white due to standing age saw the arrival of Jessie.

"Of course, Jessie. I've been waiting a long time" he said.

"Actually I'm pretty busy today."

"Haha ... It was Jessie. You're always busy every time I come here." Austin chuckled, understanding the meaning of Jessie's words that were about to subtly chase him away. Not once or twice, but many times she did.

"You could say so." Jessie nodded.

"All right, I'll just go straight. What about Lawrence?" The same question Austin always asks, "just tell me where my niece is. He should be in the company to lead."

"Only you and Valeria are close to him. You're his confidantes. You guys must know something."

Jessie breathed a little more slowly.

"I've said a few times, I don't know." Still trying to smile, "after all you don't have to worry about the company. Miss Lawrence always did her job."

"Until when he's hiding. He is not the only heir. We don't even know if he's married or not. So how do we decide?"

Lawrence was the heir in his family. Austin's father or Lawrence's grandfather even used the surname as the girl's nickname.

Since childhood Lawrence's parents had hidden the face to the girl's real name so that none of her family really recognized her.

Perhaps only grandfather or could be called the Great Lord had ever even recognized him. Austin once overheard his father talking to Lawrence on the phone.

"If she doesn't show up anytime soon, maybe she'll be taken down off the list, unless Lawrence's already qualified."

One of the requirements to be a full heir is marriage. Lawrence had to marry to become a full holder.

"I'll give you all your messages."

"One more. My daughter is getting married soon." A smile rose on Austin's face, "it's best that Lawrence step aside as soon as he doesn't want to qualify."

However, the current power remains in the hands of Lawrence as President and will rise to become CEO if he is eligible. After marriage, Lawrence will have full power. Even so, Austin still could not do much to get rid of his nephew.

"We just follow how destiny goes, Mr. Austin. You can get out now." Jessie lets Autin out with her hands to the door.

"I really liked your courage all this time to me. Don't worry, if my daughter manages to take over, I can make you the chief director."

Just dream!

"Curtain!" Austin screeched as he walked out.

After the man had completely left, Jessie could not help herself anymore. He took a quick glass of water up his desk to the toilet and resuscitated his body in the chair facing the glass wall.

"Lawrence ... Lawrence ... What kind of family do you have," he murmured cynically.

"When my destiny changed" he almost whispered. His eyes closed slowly and everything became dark and silent.

When she woke up, Jessie felt something warm on her forehead. He picked up the strange object which turned out to be a wet cloth. Jessie did not understand the situation. He was also moved to a private room.

"You awake? Thank goodness." Valeria smiled widely while twirling her body.

"What's wrong?" Jessie pinched confusedly while staring at the wet cloth, then placed it rough on the nightstand.

"You sleep all day. Wasn't it! Looks like you fainted. I came in here and woke you up, but I couldn't. Your body has a fever. It's very hot" Valerie explained. Jessie just shakes no matter.

"What time is it?"

"Five afternoons. You haven't eaten anything. I've already prepared it." Valerie took the food she had bought.

"Should I have a bribe?"

"No need!"

Valerie smiled to see Jessie eating voraciously. Actually, he had seen a speck of clear liquid coming out of the corner of Jessie's eye when the woman was still unconscious. Valeria was certainly surprised because it was the first tear she saw after five years of her parents' departure.

It seems that Jessie kept her promise so well that she held back so hard.
