Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Chapter 643: Chapter 635: Running Away From Home

When Tiana didn’t answer, the smile on Archie Lockwood’s lips slowly faded. "Wait, are you leaving?"

"Yes, I am," Tiana Grayson replied, forcing a smile and nodding.

Seeing that Tiana was about to leave, Archie Lockwood frowned in thought for a moment before asking in a cold tone, "Do you have plans tonight?"

"Huh?" Tiana Grayson looked at Archie Lockwood in surprise.

Archie Lockwood repeated the question, his voice cool and detached, "Do you have plans tonight?"

This time, Tiana Grayson heard him clearly. She shook her head in confusion. "No, I don’t." ’Her relationship with Archie Lockwood wasn’t that close, was it? And she didn’t think they had anything to discuss. His sudden question was both confusing and surprising.’

"Oh. My company is hosting a banquet tonight. I’ll have someone pick you up."

"That’s not necessary. What’s the point of me going to your company’s banquet?"

Rejected, Archie Lockwood’s expression turned colder still. In a tone that allowed no refusal, he said, "I’m short a female companion for the evening, so I’ll have to trouble you for tonight. Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of three or four hours. It won’t take up too much of your time."

"Oh... alright." Since Archie Lockwood had put it that way, she felt it would be rude to refuse again.

’Besides, it’s just being his companion for a little while. It doesn’t seem like too much of a hardship. She’d attended plenty of banquets back when her brother used to host them.’

Seeing that Tiana had agreed, Archie Lockwood arranged for a car to take her home, promising to have her picked up at seven that evening.

「IS Group, CEO’s Office」

When Archie Lockwood pushed open the door, he found a man sitting in the office chair, flipping through a document with his feet propped up on the desk. The sight of the man’s casual, make-yourself-at-home attitude made Archie’s eyebrow twitch.

"You’re still here?"

"What’s the rush?" Leo Joyce said, unhurriedly swinging his legs off the desk.

When he saw that Archie Lockwood hadn’t brought Rory back with him, he arched an eyebrow and asked with a smirk, "So where’s your little princess?"

"I didn’t catch her."

"That kid’s got some nerve, running away from home all by herself."

At the mention of Rory, an expression of fond exasperation appeared on Archie Lockwood’s face. "She pulls this stunt every year."

Ever since they came to Country M, Rory had been looking forward to growing up so she could run away and find her mother.

Starting two years ago, she would try to run away every holiday. It’s just that she never got far from the house before the men he sent out found her.

She had almost succeeded once this year, but when she got to the airport, she couldn’t figure out how to buy a ticket, so the trip fell through.

Archie Lockwood then asked, as if it were an afterthought, "When are you planning on heading back?"

"We’ll see. If all goes well, the contract with Veridia Group should be settled tonight. I’ll probably head back tomorrow."

Hearing this, Archie Lockwood nodded. He glanced at his watch and said thoughtfully, "I’m hosting a banquet tonight at seven. Do you think you’ll have time to come?"

"Is it an important banquet?" ’He’d been to so many of them lately that he wasn’t particularly interested. Besides, he’d already secured the contracts he came for.’

"You’re trying to break into the international market right now, so I suggest you come. You might find something you’re looking for."

Leo Joyce considered this for a moment, then nodded. "I’ll come over as soon as I can after I’m done."
