Florence only waited for half a minute before the front desk disconnected the internal line she had dialed and informed her. “Miss Shelton, Mr. Lawson is currently in a meeting, but the vice president assured me he will be down shortly.”
After relaying the message, the front desk gazed at Florence, who maintained a composed demeanor, her expression unreadable.
Spencer swiftly descended the stairs.
The individual descended was not Jonathan but Spencer, as Jonathan was occupied with Cassandra, who had just arrived at the company.
Upon reaching the ground floor, the tension in the air was palpable despite Florence’s efforts to contain herself.
“Miss Shelton, are you here to see Mr. Lawson?” Spencer immediately noticed Florence, flanked by bodyguards, and inquired.
“And you are?” Florence raised her gaze to the sky, displaying a cold demeanor towards everyone except Jonathan.
Unfazed, Spencer politely introduced himself.
Recognizing him as Jonathan’s vice president, Florence was not overly courteous, simply asking. “May I proceed upstairs now?”
Spencer, not one to beat around the bush, smiled and replied, “Certainly. You can go up, but what about your bodyguards?”
Before he could finish, Florence casually interjected, “They will wait for me downstairs.”
She had come to discuss matters with Jonathan and had no intention of bringing her bodyguards before
him.
Spencer breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for her to proceed.
The group of bodyguards behind Florence felt uneasy about her going alone, concerned for her safety, and wanted to accompany her.
Florence, with her straightforward attitude, could not be swayed. She glanced at them and commanded. “You all stay down here.”
Receiving her gaze, they obediently lowered their heads and stationed themselves near the front desk like
sentincis.
The receptionist nervously eyed the black–clad bodyguards, but Spencer reassured her with a gentle smile before escorting Florence to the elevator.
Florence was led to a meeting room, and only after Spencer departed did he instruct, “Miss Shelton, please wait. Mr. Lawson will join you after the meeting

Subsequently, refreshments were brought without any errors.
Frowning, Florence showed no interest in anything else and inquired, “How long must I wait?”
Considering Florence’s status and the nature of her meeting with Jonathan, Spencer hesitated before

Agreeing, Florence allowed him to proceed and reminded him.
Within moments, Jonathan appeared.
Upon Jonathan’s entrance, Florence rose and greeted, “Mr. Lawson.”
Spencer followed beside Jonathan, noting the stark difference in Florence’s demeanor from their previous
encounter.
Even her formerly cold tone had softened, leaving him bewildered as he observed Florence.
Florence glanced at him and couldn’t resist rolling her eyes.
Jonathan asked. “Miss Shelton, how may I assist you?”
Before entering. Spencer had already briefed his company’s security on the altercation between Florence and his staff.
Florence, the newly returned heiress of the Shelton Family, arriving at his company in such a conspicuous manner, seemed far from ordinary.
“If there is no urgent matter, why have you come?” Jonathan frowned, his demeanor already souring and his words lacking in politeness. “Miss Shelton appears to have a penchant for idle chatter.”
This was also the case when she suddenly called him last night. She started with some inexplicable
nonsense.
This remark made Florence furrow her brows as well. She smiled suddenly and said, “Yes, I do like it.” Despite his words, Florence couldn’t help but think: What I had said was clearly flirtatious, not idle chatter.
Spencer, however, could sense that Florence had feelings for Jonathan, but he furrowed his brow. Yarrison informed him about the previous night’s incident, and he initially thought he was joking. However, he was taken aback to discover that Florence truly had feelings for Jonathan.
“Since you don’t have anything urgent, we should go attend to our own matters,” Jonathan stated, preparing to leave.
Florence hastily interjected, “Actually, there is something important, but I only wish to discuss it with you.”
Upon the arrival of Spencer and Jonathan, she remained silent, but the latter regarded her with a puzzled expression. Unwilling to be a mere spectator, she promptly requested Spencer to leave..
“Mr. Lawson, I have other commitments to attend to,” Spencer declared, not waiting for Jonathan’s response before departing.
Jonathan’s swift exit caught Florence off guard.

However, what surprised her even more was Jonathan’s subsequent invitation after leaving Spencer. “Since you have something important to discuss, let’s continue the conversation in my office,” he proposed.
Suspecting that Florence might not have a genuine reason, he headed straight to his office.
Florence followed him into the office, appearing perplexed. Jonathan sat down and began reviewing some documents.
“Your office is quite impressive, Mr. Lawson, Florence remarked, not finding the situation dull and even complimenting Jonathan’s workspace.
Jonathan offered a superficial response.
“Aren’t you curious about the important matter I wish to discuss with you?” Florence inquired.
Assuming it was nothing of significance, Jonathan chose not to pursue the topic or display any curiosity.
Not particularly.”
Nevertheless, Florence disregarded his aloof demeanor and persisted. “I came here because I missed you.” Jonathan’s expression turned colder, and he firmly refuted, “You and I are not that close.”
Upon witnessing Jonathan’s distant rejection, Florence couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight. Boldly, she smiled and declared, “Why not? I have genuine feelings for you. If you desire, we can get married today.”
Jonathan recoiled in disgust and responded icily. “Miss Shelton, please restrain yourself. I already have a
wife.”
“Where is she then? Why haven’t I seen her?
Florence adopted a fearless facade, though inwardly seething with anger. She was well aware of Jonathan’s marital status.
Jonathan mentioned that his wife was waiting for his return home the previous night. Intrigued by Jonathan, she had investigated, confirming that he had a wife.
A woman like that could be easily dealt with.
However, she had not yet taken action against her..
She wanted Jonathan to handle the situation himself.
Hence, Florence raised her crimson lips slightly and calmly suggested, “Just divorce her.”
Her audacious demeanor elicited a cold glare from Jonathan.
“I have a good relationship with my wife and will not divorce.” He asserted.
A chill ran down Florence’s spine as she was intimidated by Jonathan’s demeanor.
“Miss Shelton, if you have nothing further to discuss, kindly depart.” Jonathan’s words were direct, his tone equally blunt

Florence narrowed her eyes, her gaze dark and mysterious. “You won’t get a divorce? Very well. I shall wait.
and see.
Without waiting for Jonathan to escort her out, Florence departed with purposeful strides.
However, as she descended the stairs, her demeanour was noticeably less buoyant than when she. ascended, and the bodyguards dared not even breathe in her presence.
Upstairs, following Florence’s departure, Jonathan placed a call to Angela.
Oliver answered the phone, informing Jonathan that Angela was still in a meeting.
Upon learning that Angela was occupied, Jonathan felt somewhat relieved. He inquired about the meeting’s conclusion time the following day before ending the call.
Rubbing his temples, he pondered how Florence’s actions might impact her, causing him some concern.
