Chapter 45: Miss Lauren was the Owner?
The rumored thirteenth house was located in the center of the Dream Villa. This house had been designed by the best designer in the world. It had been specially designed according to Lauren’s request.
There were French windows on both the north and south sides. The north was vast and open, while the south was mountainous. As far as the eye could see, it was full of lush green and blooming cherry blossoms. The ground was also covered with pink and white cherry blossom petals. It was extremely beautiful.
On the other hand, the lake on the north side was shimmering. The afterglow filled the sky at sunset. It was a stunning sight.
After staying here for a day, everyone would feel much more relaxed.
“Boss, let’s go to my office to have a talk first?”
“Alright then. Where’s Mr. Carson?” A group of people surrounded Lauren. They towered over her, making her impossible to see.
When Ben heard himself being called out, he quickly squeezed forward. “Miss Lauren, I’m here.”
“Don’t get lost, Mr. Carson. Let’s go to Mr. Kennedy’s office and have a seat first.”
Ben did not have the right to speak, so he could only nod his head helplessly. He still had not figured out the situation.
Scott’s office was very simple. Lauren and Ben sat on the sofa while Scott poured them two cups of water.
While Scott was looking for something on his desk, Ben asked Lauren in a low voice, “Miss Torres, why do they call you boss?”
After sitting in the car for so long, Lauren was also thirsty. She gulped down a glass of water.
She licked her lips and said, “That’s easy, because I’m the boss. I paid for the construction of Dream Villa, so of course I’m the boss!”
“This…Miss Torres, how did you get so much money?”
Lauren rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “It’s a secret for now. Anyway, just follow me, you will definitely be able to eat and drink well.”
Ben wanted to continue asking, but his phone rang. It was a call from Franklin.
He still did not know what had happened between Franklin and Lauren. Just as he was about to answer the call, Lauren quickly pressed the hang-up button.
Ben’s hand trembled.
“Miss Lauren, this is my phone! Can you not use my phone to hang up on Master Franklin?! The person who will get into trouble is me!” Ben thought to himself.
Ben asked Lauren bitterly, “Miss Torres, what’s wrong now?”
It was obvious that Lauren’s mood had worsened after she saw the call. The dimples that were showing had disappeared. She frowned, and looked as if someone had stolen her candy.
Weren’t the two siblings still chatting and laughing this morning? Why did they do this now?
“In any case, you can’t pick up any of their calls! Mr. Carson, you have to remember that you’re my chauffeur now. Your boss is me, and If I ask you not to pick up, you can’t pick up.”
“Okay, I won’t pick up!” Ben answered Lauren verbally.
Scott took a large stack of documents and sat across from Lauren. He began to talk non-stop, “Boss, look. These are all the financial records and…”
Very quickly, the entire table was covered with all kinds of forms and numbers. Lauren listened intently to Scott. From time to time, she would ask a few questions and nod her head. She was very serious.
Ben, who was listening by the side, was in a daze. He almost dozed off.
The phone in his pocket vibrated again. It was Franklin calling again. Ben saw that Lauren was immersed in the data and could not extricate herself, so he sneaked out.
He did not dare to hang up on Franklin himself!
Just as he pressed the answer button, Franklin’s furious voice came from the other side, “Where have you guys been? !”
Franklin had heard from Mr. Hayes that Lauren had gone out in the afternoon. He initially thought that she was just in a bad mood and had dragged Ben to an amusement park or something similar like the last time.
However, no one came back for a long time. When he was about to enter his room, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Lauren’s unlocked door. He wanted to help her close it, but he realized that everything in the room was gone.
In the past few days, he had personally witnessed the room being filled with little gadgets. Today, the room had returned to its original state.
When he thought of the danger that Lauren might encounter, he immediately called Ben.
“Master Franklin? Don’t be angry. I wasn’t the one who hung up on you just now! It was Miss Lauren who hung up on you. She even told me not to pick up your call!”
Lauren sneezed in her office.
Franklin felt a little relieved after contacting Ben. At the very least, he could contact someone. Franklin nodded at Mr. Hayes, signaling for him to be at ease.
“I didn’t ask you about this. Where are the two of you now? Where’s Lauren? Let her answer the phone.”
