Chapter 120 Lawrence Hughes

It was a sunny afternoon. Gabrielle was on her way to see Macy at Fragrance Restaurant for lunch. On her way, a man kept trailing her. She felt embarrassed by the way he was chasing after her on a very popular street. For this reason, she decided to walk faster. Once Lawrence saw how fast she walked, he followed suit.

“If you think that you’re going to Inake me angry with the way you’re behaving, Gabby, you’re wrong. You’re underestimating me. I must invite you to have lunch with me today. You can’t escape me this time around. Besides, I’ve been on the lookout for you for over a month before I met you here today. It just shows that we were destined to meet!” he said still alking after her. This man was just being outrageous. A man like him was like a plaster which was hard to be dealt with.

“Lawrence, I have something else to do and because of this, I don’t have the luxury of time to argue here with you. Don’t delay me, please;” Gabrielle said to him as she thought of a way to get rid of him but couldn’t think of any.

His kind of person was difficult to deal with. No matter how you talked to him, either in a threatening or cruel tone, he was immune to all. He was just after achieving his goal.

“You must have lunch with me even if you still have something to do. As far as you have lunch with me, I won’t disturb you again, okay?” he said as he smiled at her. There was no sign on his face to show that he was angry with the way that she

was trying to avoid him.

Lawrence was a ladies’ man. He had a very captivating smile that could enchant lots of people. Regrettably, she didn’t fancy men like him and because of this, she was not willing to accept his smile no matter how captivating it was. It didn’t have any effect on her.

Be that as it might, hearing that he would stop disturbing her if she accepted to have lunch with him, she became hesitant.

“Lawrence, are you going to keep to your words?” she asked as she peered at him closely.

He looked at her and smiled like an old cunning fox. He reassured her, “Of course, Gabby. I’m a man of my word. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She wanted to say something harsh to him! She was just sick of him pestering her this way.

Everyone in Antawood knew Lawrence to be a womanizer. He changed women easily like he was changing his clothes. Rumor also had it that he was very generous when he was with a woman. As long as the woman wanted anything, he bought it for her. Even when they broke up, he was still generous to the extent that he would give them a house and a check and after that, they would lose contact.

With such a man who loved to spend on women, who wouldn’t love to be his girlfriend for even just

“Okay then, let’s go to the restaurant over there.” She pointed to a place in front before she continued, “Now, the issue is this: I’m supposed to be having

lunch with my friend in this same restaurant. I’ll have to ask the person first. If he or she agrees to let you stay. then you can join us. Do you understand?” she asked him seriously.

“Is it a man or a woman?” The smile on his face faded away immediately.

He readily concluded that it was a man after all. “So Gabrielle has been avoiding me these days because she wanted to be with other men. She also rushed to the restaurant this sunny afternoon because she wanted to have lunch with a man, right?’ he asked himself without even waiting for her reply.

Before pursuing Gabrielle, he did a thorough investigation and found out that she didn’t have a boyfriend. Although he was a playboy, he had a principle of not robbing other men of their women.

He believed that a gentleman didn’t rob others of their love even though he liked having fun with women.

“It’s a woman,” she answered as she looked at him coldly. “Don’t even think of getting close to her, Lawrence. She is not that kind of person who likes to play the way you do,” she warned him sternly.

When he heard that it was a woman she was going to see, he smiled broadly. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’m not going to chase after other women anymore. I’ll only think about Gabby.”

Gabrielle felt like throwing up and at that moment, she regretted agreeing to have lunch with him. She didn’t know how Macy would feel about this arrangement and wondered whether or not she would be angry.

Besides, the friendship between her and Macy wasn’t that deep. ‘What would she think if I bring a total stranger with me to have lunch with us?’ she thought deeply. I

“Let me just reschedule this lunch for some other time,’ she decided within herself.

“Lawrence, you don’t have to go with me to lunch today. I’ll invite you next time, okay?” she said to him hesitantly

She knew that he wouldn’t agree, but she decided to try her luck. “Gabbyyou just have to be honest. I know you women always say one thing and mean another. You’re saying you want me to go, but in your mind, you don’t want me to. I understand all this. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you and your friend to lunch this afternoon,” he suggested as he smiled at her.

It was not easy to persuade Lawrence. He didn’t believe her when she said that she would invite him, next time.

He knew that Gabrielle wasn’t an easy woman to get and seeing her next time would be pretty difficult. How could he let her go so easily?

“Lawrence…” She tried to say something.

*This time around, I’m the one inviting you. So I’ll be the one to pay. Next time, you can do the honors. It’s fair that way.” he said, smiling brilliantly.

She didn’t want to have a meal with him at all. Couldn’t this man just understand?

“Gabby, if you don’t lead the way. I’ll hug you!” Seeing that she still stood where she was, he tried

to scare her.

Actually, it was not a scare. She knew that he was a man of his word, and he was completely shameless, and so, he could do anything he wanted.

So she had to make a move. If not, he would carry her up in his arms. This was a commercial street, and with his hug, she would surely hit the headlines before tomorrow.

“‘I have legs, Lawrence. I can walk myself. I don’t need you to carry me. Besides, we are not as close as you think. Don’t get too close to me,” she warned him in disgust.

Lawrence didn’t care about the look on her face, Rather, he laughed happily. “Gabby, are you indirectly telling me to work hard to catch up with you as soon as possible? Don’t worry, it’s not a problem. I will do my best.”

‘Damn it! Who told him that I want to be chased by him? He’s crazy!’ she thought angrily.

Without saying a word, she walked forward, not

caring whether he followed her or not.

this was the first time she allowed him to have a meal with her, even though they weren’t going to be alone.

But it didn’t matter at all to him. As long as he could be with her, he felt accomplished.

When she entered the Fragrance Restaurant, Gabrielle looked around for Macy and saw her sitting somewhere, raising her hand to her.

“Hello, Gabrielle. I’m over here.” There was a hint of

joy in Macy’s voice.

She quickly hurried over to where Macy was and glanced at Lawrence as he followed her from a distance.

“Macy. I’m sorry that I brought a friend with me. Can we eat together? If you don’t want to, it’s fine. I’ll just ask him to eat alone.” She could care less about how he felt.

“Vice Mr. Hughes!” Macy shouted in surprise as soon as she saw Lawrence coming in. She stood up quickly and straightened up her body nervously.

“Vice Mr. Hughes?” she said again trying to be sure that he was the one. Judging from Macy’s body language, Gabrielle could tell that the intern company that Macy found a job in the high-tech zone might be under the Hughes Group. Other than that, why did she refer to him as Vice Mr. Hughes?

His brother, Brent, was the current CEO of the Hughes Group. Many people liked to call the brothers Mr. Hughes and Vice Mr. Hughes respectively.

Brent was the CEO of Hughes Group. After all, he was in a high position and worked hard day and night, making great efforts to make money for the Hughes Group. Vice Mr. Hughes was very unreasonable. All he did was eating, drinking and chasing after women. He hadn’t made any relevant contribution to the Hughes Group.

It was a waste for him to be named Vice Mr. Hughes since he wasn’t doing anything meaningful to the growth of the company.

“Do you know me?” he asked Macy. He stood in

front of her and stared at her face for a while. Her baby face was tender and adorable, but unfortunately, she wasn’t his kind of woman. He liked women who were seductive and flirty. unadulterated and beautiful just like Gabrielle and for this reason, she didn’t have a lasting impression on him.
