“Miss Lauren, if you hang up on the eldest young master, he might get angry,” Ben carefully reminded her.
Now, Lauren could be considered Ben’s “savior.” Ben would of course also try his best to help her, hoping that she would be able to live a better life in the Torres family.
Lauren shook her short legs and said fearlessly, “Uncle Driver, actually, big brother is very good. That chef wanted to hit Lauren, and big brother even helped Lauren. Big brother won’t get angry just because Lauren hung up on him!”
On the other side, however, Franklin was indeed angry. However, it was not because Lauren dared to hang up on him, but because she actually went out without bringing anyone with her. What if she ran into danger?
After all, she was a member of the Torres family. No matter how much the outside world said that she was not favored, outsiders still looked at the Torres family with covetous eyes. After so many years, the Torres Corporation had become the largest corporation. It must have made many enemies in the open and in the dark.
When the secretary saw Franklin, he was standing in front of the desk with a face full of anger.
His hand was still tightly clutching his phone.
The hand that was about to knock on the door froze on the spot. The secretary went back and found Franklin’s work assistant.
“Did negotiations regarding the project of the Holiday Village between the CEO and the Xavier Corporation just break down?”
The assistant shook his head. “No, the negotiations were very good. The CEO is still the same as before, slaughtering everyone whenever he speaks! That manner of speaking –”
“Alright, alright, stop bragging. The CEO can’t hear you from here. Since the negotiation was good, why is the CEO still acting like that?”
The assistant secretly peeked his head out. When he saw Franklin’s appearance, he was also surprised.
“Oh right, why does the CEO look so angry? Our work has been done very well!”
Just as the assistant and secretary were in a dilemma, Franklin had already put on his suit jacket and walked out of the office. The assistant and secretary subconsciously followed behind him.
“Mr. CEO, there’s a board meeting in fifteen minutes. Where are we going now?” The secretary asked boldly.
“The meeting has been canceled, and the rest of the work has been pushed to tomorrow. Now, ask a driver to send me to Ben’s house.”
“Yes, Mr. CEO.”
A good secretary never questioned the boss’s requests and completed the task quickly.
By the time the three of them arrived at the office building, the driver was already waiting for them.
On the other side, Lauren and Ben had also arrived at their destination. Of course, they were accompanied by Wendy’s soul.
Lauren had activated her heavenly eye on Ben. Ben could now see Wendy’s soul all the time. Husband and wife were like newlyweds who had not seen each other for a long time. They kept on talking about family matters.
There were even some mushy “I love you”s and “You love me”s interspersed in between.
Sitting in the car, Lauren felt very awkward.
[ System Divine Nine: Host, the supernatural energy in this place is a little heavy. ]
She had just gotten out of the car when the system appeared.
Lauren naturally felt it too, but her expression did not change. She even took out a peach-flavored lollipop from somewhere.
“Uncle, help Lauren peel the candy wrapper.”
“Ah?” Ben took the lollipop from her in a daze.
Eating candy at a time like this?
Ben was a little worried.
“Miss Lauren, is… is there any danger around? If anything happens, I won’t be able to shoulder this responsibility even if it means taking my life.”
He had just seen his deceased wife’s soul, so he came over on a whim. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, Lauren was only a four-and-a-half-year-old little girl!
Could she really catch ghosts?
“Uncle, are you suspecting Lauren? Lauren is very powerful!”
Before Ben could react, he felt himself being forcefully lifted up. Then, he was lifted up for a few seconds. By the time he realized it, he was already lying on the grass three meters away.
“This…”
Suddenly, a cute face with braided hair appeared in front of him.
Lauren took a stalk of grass from Ben’s hair. “Uncle, is Lauren awesome?”
There was a moment of silence.
Three seconds later.
“Awesome… Awesome,” Ben felt that this day had been a fantasy. By the time he got up, Lauren was already skipping towards Ben’s apartment, which was situated in building number three.
Ben quickly followed.
“Hey, that does not feel right. I didn’t even mention that I live in building number three. How did Miss Lauren Know?”
This was an old residential area. There was no elevator in the house, so they could only take the stairs up. There were twelve floors in total. The stairs were narrow and dark.
