Chapter 903 Blind Date For Mike (Part Two)

"I understand. To tell you the truth, my biggest worry is my father. I know my mother will always support

me and she trusts me. But, my father..." Lawrence didn't go on and his face shone?with gloominess.

Recently, this was the only worry eating him and robbing his peace of mind. He had been with Aria for

a long time but he still hadn't found the "right time" to inform his parents about her.

"Looking at it from your father's point of view, he is right to hope that you marry a girl from a family of

equal status. Actually, Aria's family is indeed..." Greg analyzed. He knew that there was a big gap

between the two families in respect to their social and economic status. At present, Kate was working

in the logistics department of XS Hospital. Since she was too weak to do heavy work, Greg had already

asked the director of logistics department to take special care of her.

"I am caught between them! My parents are on one side and Aria is on the other side. I love all of them

so much and I won't sacrifice any of them," Lawrence was perplexed. As Greg was his close friend and

a brother, it was not at all difficult to discuss this with him.

"How about we speak to Violet first? She is so understanding and I am sure she will support you. If

your father and mother have any objections to Aria, Violet could speak in your favour," Greg advised

him. Then he pondered for some time and continued, "But the odds are not good. We all know the kind

of person your father is!"

Lawrence's heart had lifted when he heard the suggestion about Violet. Then he again lost heart when

Greg concluded his speech. Yes, everyone knew his father very well!

"Forget it. We will see what happens when it does!" Lawrence helplessly exclaimed. He then turned to

look at Greg and said, "Let us also go home."

"Okay, let's leave. Bye! See you!"

After they bid each other goodbye, both went home.

Lawrence didn't return to Chu villa, but to a luxurious apartment because that was where Aria lived.

As usual, Lawrence punched in the password and pushed open the door. As he walked into the living

room, he saw the light was on, but Aria was not there.

Hurriedly, he went to the bedroom and switched on the light. Aria was not in bed also. Lawrence got a

little nervous now. 'Where has this woman gone?' he wondered.

He went back to the living room again and searched again. Finally, he found her lying on the couch in

the corridor.

Releasing a sigh of relief, Lawrence quietly walked towards her. He lifted her in his arms and headed to

the living room.

"Oh...You are back," Aria woke up in a daze. She rubbed her eyes, sat on the sofa and looked at

Lawrence with sleepy eyes.

"Why did you fall asleep in the corridor? It is chilly there and you will catch a cold!" Lawrence scolded

her and pretended to be mad at her.

"Oh, I am sorry, darling," Aria said. "I just was very tired after visiting two clients today! I was waiting for

you in the living room ever since I came home. Feeling bored, I wandered into the corridor to look

outside. I didn't expect to fall asleep as I waited for your return."

"Don't wait up for me the next time. Go to bed when you are tired, okay?" Lawrence's voice was tender. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Okay, I will!" Aria gave him a sweet smile. She then nestled in Lawrence's arms and said in a flirtatious

tone, "Don't be mad at me! I really have an important dinner tomorrow evening and I am sorry I can't go

with you to the charity event. But you know what? If I get the contract tomorrow, my department will

achieve the target and I will get a fat bonus. I am so excited just thinking about it!"

Lawrence was not happy at these words. He retorted, "Do you lack money? As my girl you will never

want money. Why do you work so hard? I don't want?you?to?exhaust?yourself!"

"I know you care about me, but I want to be independent. Fine, let's not talk about it. I am very happy

now to be with you and work in a job that I love. I am very content, "Aria hastily soothed his ruffled

feathers. There was a twinkle of happiness in her eyes.

"You are truly happy, right?" Lawrence asked.

"Yes, I am. Very, very happy!" Aria replied firmly and with no hesitation.

"Then, you have to make me happy."

Lawrence?grinned wickedly and carried Aria into the bedroom.

Mike was still fast asleep at eight o'clock the next morning. Suddenly, he was awakened by a loud

shout from outside his door.

"Hey, you brat! It is time to rise and shine!" Soren shouted loudly outside Mike's room. Behind him were

two men in black suits.

"Oh, my! Let me sleep some more. I slept very late last night. I want to sleep longer," Mike shouted

back, without even opening his eyes. Agitated, he covered his head with his quilt, trying to block out the

noise.

"I don't care. You must get up right now. You still have a mission!" Soren insisted seriously.

Seeing Mike ignore him, Soren gestured to the men behind him

and the two men immediately walked into Mike's room.

They pulled Mike out of his bed and propped him up to stand in front of Soren.

"Take him downstairs," Soren ordered.

Still drowsy, Mike was taken downstairs by the men in black.

They sat him down on the sofa and then left. Mike directly fell on the sofa and tried to go back to sleep.

But when he saw his father sitting in front of him, he reluctantly sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Father, what are you doing? I am still sleepy. Just let me sleep for a few minutes more, please," Mike

pleaded.

"No. There is no time for that. Drink a cup of hot tea to sober yourself up! Then freshen up. You have a

blind date in half an hour. Nine o'clock at HY Cafe. Table No. 12. I have made all the arrangements for

you," Soren ordered, without giving him a chance to say no.
