She quickly stood up. “Why is Miss Torres here? The president is in a meeting right now. Why don’t you wait in his office for a while?”

Lauren nodded obediently. She could not disturb her brother’s work.

The secretary brought Lauren to Franklin’s office and poured her a glass of orange juice.

“The president’s meeting should be over in 15 minutes. You can sit here for a while. I’m going out to work.”

Lauren nodded obediently again.

After the secretary left, she drank half of her juice and felt a little bored.

Franklin’s office was exactly the same as his study room.

It was still as simple as before, and there were a lot of books on the bookshelf.

Lauren stood on her tiptoes and took a book from the bookshelf that she could reach.

This book was about some economic effects.

Lauren had never been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, so she read it with great interest.

Franklin came out of the meeting. When he entered the office, he saw Lauren lying on the woolen carpet and reading a book.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Lauren turned around and said, “Franklin! You’re done with the meeting!”

Franklin put away the documents for the meeting and then bent down to pick up Lauren from the carpet and put her on the sofa.

“Why are you on the floor? The weather has not warmed up yet. You’ll catch a cold.”

“I am not sure. I was sitting on the sofa, and somehow as I read, I ended up lying on the floor.”

Franklin saw the book in Lauren’s hand.

“Are you able to understand this book?”

“I can understand a little bit. I haven’t touched this kind of knowledge yet, so I’m still learning. I must learn this well in the future, then I can help you to manage the company together, so that you won’t be so tired.”

This was the first time that Franklin had heard of someone wanting to help him manage the company.

He was the eldest son of the Torres family, so everyone took it for granted that he should shoulder this responsibility.

“Managing the company is very tiring, and you can’t do whatever you like. I am happy as long as you’re happy, Lauren. You don’t have to help me.”

Unexpectedly, Lauren shook her head.

“That won’t do. Managing the company is very tiring, so I have to help you out even more. I can’t let you be tired by himself. In this way, you will have time to do what you like to do.”

As the saying goes, children speak the truth.

Franklin did not doubt the authenticity of what Lauren said, and he was very touched by it.

Franklin lifted his hand to touch Lauren’s hair, and anything sweet he was about to say was replaced with: “Why is your hair so messy? Did I make this braid?”

‘I don’t blame him for breaking the mood, it’s just that this braid is way too ugly,’ Lauren thought.

“This...this is what the other brother made for me this morning.”

Quinn?

Quinn was actually trying to steal his responsibility now.

“Tear it down. I’ll make another one for you.”

Lauren nodded obediently. Just as Franklin’s hand was moving on her hair, she suddenly remembered something important.

“Oh right, Franklin, I came over today because I have something to tell you. Last night, I received news that I can implement that plan now.”

Lauren felt a sharp pain on her scalp.

“Is it that plan you mentioned earlier?”

Lauren nodded. “Yes, I’ll set off at around three o’clock.”

“Are you sure it’s safe? Do you want me to go with you?”

“How could you go with me? Franklin, they’re abducting and selling children. They would never abduct an adult as old as you.”

However, Franklin thought about it carefully and was still worried about letting Lauren go alone.

If anything happened, he would not be able to contact Lauren, and Lauren would not be able to ask for help either.

“Franklin, don’t worry. Although Lauren went alone, you guys can still contact me. I’ve left a treasure at home. You can ask the other brother when the time comes.”

“Lauren, you can call him second brother.”

Franklin’s hand speed was very fast. He quickly braided Lauren’s hair and even cut out a small flower from the vase in the office. Then, he pinned it on the rubber band.

“That’s enough.”

There was no mirror in Franklin’s office, so Lauren took out the butterfly mirror from her pocket dimension and took a look at it.

“Franklin, your craftsmanship is the best. As for the other one...” Lauren rolled her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking about, but she continued, “Second brother made Lauren look so ugly!”

Although Lauren said the words “second brother” quietly, Franklin heard it.

He could finally heave a sigh of relief.. It seemed that the two of them had slowly reconciled.
