Chapter 443 Asking Him For A Favor
Behind her, Vans's voice could be heard. "Young Master Jameson is dealing with a few matters. Madam, please sit for a while!"
Lauren turned his head and smiled at him. She placed the cake on the table and sat down on the sofa.
"What would you like to drink?"
"Anything."
"Is black tea okay?"
"Sounds great!"
There was a set of antique tea set on the table. Vans was skillfully making tea for Lauren.
She looked at it thoughtfully.
Soon, the fragrance of the tea came to the tip of her nose. Vans handed her a cup of brewed tea. She took a small sip. The first sip was slightly bitter, but in the next moment, there was a sweet taste that followed.
"I didn't expect you're good at making tea!"
Vans smiled and sat down in front of Lauren.
"Young Master Jameson likes it! So I took time to learn how to make tea a few days ago. I'm flattered!"
Lauren smiled slightly. "It's his blessing to have such a loyal subordinate like you!"
Vans shook his head. He had a rather emotional expression on his face.
"The Ethanbez Group has done me a great favor. Young Master Jameson is the heir of the Ethanbez Group. Therefore, I'm willing to dedicate my life to him! Making tea for him is practically nothing."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a stream of people came out of the room.
Vans stood up and looked at Jameson through the glass window, then he tipped her the wink.
Lauren stood up and walked to the inner room with the cake.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Jameson was still sitting at the table, not raising his head, concentrating on reading the document.
Lauren walked over and placed the cake on the table. She smiled and said, "I miss you. That's why. I arrived early in the morning. I was worried that you haven't taken your lunch yet, so I bought you some snacks!"
He finally looked up at her. His eyes swept over the cake and stopped for a second.
Then he lowered his eyes while he remained expressionless.
"Tell me! What do you want me to help you with?"
Lauren was stunned.
She cursed in her heart, "He is so smart! Can't he at least pretend to be stupid?"
In fact, for more than half a year, although the relationship between the two people seemed to have reconciled and in the eyes of outsiders, they had always been very affectionate towards each other.
But only Lauren knew that Jameson had not let go of the past completely.
Therefore, there was naturally some estrangement between the two of them.
Lauren pouted and dragged a leather chair next to her in a fit of pique and sat down.
Jameson was focused at doing his work. She didn't say anything, so he stopped talking as well.
There was dead silence in the office, and only the sound of the pen scratching across the paper was heard.
Until he finished going through a stack of documents.
"Are you done with your work?" Lauren asked.
Jameson nodded.
"Then hurry up and eat!"
This time, he was stunned for a moment and looked at her inexplicably, as if there was something on her face.
"Why are you suddenly being so nice to me? You must be up to no good."
Although he said so, he still ordered Vans to get him the tableware.
The cake was not small. He only cut a slice of the cake, and let Vans take out the rest.
Watching the man sitting behind the table and elegantly eating the cake, Lauren thought, "Jameson must often be so busy that he forgets to eat!"
Would he feel tired having to manage the Ethanbez Group all by himself?
She suddenly felt a little down in her heart.
Soon, Jameson finished eating that small piece of cake.
Jameson picked up a paper towel and gracefully wiped his mouth. After drinking the hot tea that Vans had just brought in, he asked, "Can you say it now?"
Lauren narrowed her eyes and smiled, taking out the information about the Irving family's old mansion that had been prepared by her a long time ago.
"Well, look. This is the information I saw two days ago that an old mansion is going to be auctioned. I think the location of this old mansion is strategic. It is located near the mountain and a river. Although the market price is not very ideal at present, according to the spike in housing prices in recent years in Flaucford, the price of the old mansion will definitely double in less than five years.
What's more, didn't the Ethanbez family always want to start a business in Ascijan? If we buy it at a charity gala, the Ethanbez family could earn a good name. What do you think?"
She looked at him expectantly.
Jameson casually flipped through the information she gave him, and then replied, "It's so-so!"
Lauren's face froze.
She couldn't wait to slap him in the head.
As if he could read her mind, Jameson put down the documents and explained, "This old mansion is located in a remote location, and is close to the naval base. The transport is not convenient, nor it is a convenient place to live. Although the scenery is not bad, the Nilween City has a much better scenery than there. Don't you know what kind of business the Ethanbez family is doing? Do you think it's appropriate for me to buy a house in front of a military base?"
Lauren pondered for a moment. Indeed, it was not so appropriate.
But why did he assume that she was buying it for him? It might not be suitable for the Ethanbez Family, but it didn't mean that it wasn't suitable for her!
Jameson lifted the corners of his mouth, folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned on the back of the chair before looking at her with a faint smile.
"Why do you suddenly want to buy a house? Or you can tell me the reason, maybe I will change my mind after listening to your explanation."
Lauren put on a fake smile while tugging her mouth.
"You think too much! I just want to buy it. I just want to introduce this business investment to you. It's up to you whether you want it or not!"
After that, Lauren grabbed the file away from Jameson and rolled it up and put it in her bag. Then she turned around and walked away.
Looking at Lauren who had left angrily, Jameson sat cross-legged behind the table, narrowing his eyes.
He was deep in thought.
A moment later, Jameson picked up the phone.
Vans quickly came in.
"Young Master Jameson."
"Follow Madam around, see where she is staying, and arrange the accommodation for her. I'll go there after work."
Vans immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."
Jameson waved his hand, and then Vans went out.
......
Lauren went downstairs, feeling dejected. She threw her bag into the car, and sat in it.
In fact, when she came to find Jameson, she did not hold much hope.
However, Jameson rejected her without hesitation after she said a few words. It was still a little hard for her to accept that!
What should she do?
This house was worth ten million dollars, which might not be a big deal for her in the past, but now, it was not a small number for her.
Tomorrow was the auction, so she had little time left now. How could she get so much money in such a short period of time?
Lauren's eyes lit up as she looked at the mobile phone next to the seat, frowning slightly.
In the end, she picked it up, found Alex's number, and called him.
The phone was soon connected.
"Lauren, what's the matter?"
"Uh... "
She had never asked anyone to lend her money in her life. So it was difficult for her to speak out about it.
But when she thought of the house, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alex, can you prepare ten million dollars for me by tomorrow?"
Alex was very surprised. "What do you want so much money for?"
"It's none of your business! It's for my own use."
After thinking about it, she added, "It's best if it is coming out of your private account so that dad will not find out about it."
