Chapter 811 She Could Be Useful (Part Two)

Alice replied, "Ha ha ha! Of course, he is my brother."

Meanwhile, Tim looked at Lawrence and said, "Thank you."

Lawrence didn't say anything. He just nodded his head and motioned that he didn't need to thank him.

Then he turned to Alice and said, "Alice, there's something I want ask you."

Tim immediately understood that Lawrence wanted to talk to Alice alone.

So he said, "I saw some friends over there earlier. I'll just go there to greet them. You guys should talk."

"Okay," Alice replied. After Tim had left, she looked at Lawrence and asked, "What's up?"

However, Lawrence didn't respond. Only then that Mike realized that Lawrence didn't want him to be

there either. So he said in a defeated tone, "Fine! I'll go around and flirt with some beauties. I won't

bother you anymore."

Now that only him and Alice were left, Lawrence finally spoke up, "Is Ivy Li your employee?"

"Ivy Li?" Alice repeated in a surprised voice. "Yes, she is my employee," she replied quickly.

"I want her. Tell her to move to the JC Group tomorrow morning," he ordered Alice in a firmed tone.

The moment he laid eyes on her at the restroom, Lawrence already made this decision. He would

never let Ivy leave him anymore.

"Why? She is my employee and she works really well," Alice asked in puzzlement. She knew that the

JC Group had a very high standard. They even had the best talents in the country. Obviously, the

educational background requirement in this company was also very high. Ivy only graduated from a

common university. She couldn't understand why her brother would be interested to employ Ivy.

Lawrence simply said, "Just do as I said." He had never explained anything to anyone and he always

believed that other people should just obey his orders. He wanted everything to be what he desired.

"But..." Alice was dumbfounded. How could she tell Ivy that she would need to work in a different

company? Ivy had always been her hardworking, serious and dedicated employee.

As much as possible, Lawrence didn't want to get mad at Alice so he reminded her, "Alice, you know

me pretty well. What I hate the most is repeating what I have already said."

"Okay," Alice eventually agreed. But out of curiosity, she asked, "May I know why you want her to work

at your company?"

"She could be useful to me," Lawrence replied coldly.

Alice got even more confused with his answer "Useful?" she asked again with furrowed brows. "But

you've just come back. How did you even know her?"

"I don't need to know her well. I just need to know her existence," Lawrence explained. Then he took a

glass of wine and drained it.

Alice didn't resist anymore and decided to just obey his order.

Mike was drinking with several pretty girls when he saw Tim not far away. He remembered that he had

something to tell him so he bid goodbye to the girls and walked towards him.

"Where are your friends?" he asked when he got near Tim. He looked around and saw that Tim was left

alone.

When Tim found out the it was Mike who asked him, he hastily answered, "Oh, they're all over there."

"It seems that Alice has invited lots of people and some are quite well-known," Mike commented.

Tim nodded in agreement, "Yes. It's her first show and she wishes it to be great and wonderful."

"I think it will be more convenient if her next show will be held in your hotel," Mike added.

"I think that's not a problem. It will be my pleasure," Tim answered.

"Well, it's not for us to decide. We still need to listen to Alice's decision," Mike said. Then he swirled the

wine in his glass and gestured to have a toast with Tim.

After their toast, Tim had the feeling that Mike wasn't as cold as Lawrence. Mike was actually easy

going. Even though he was known as the prince of the underground world, he was nice and didn't take

things to extremes.

"You must be Lawrence's best friend," Tim commented. He decided to change the topic.

"Of course. We grew up together and wherever he goes, I always follow him." For Mike, Lawrence was

a very important person and he valued him the most. If Lawrence would be in any danger, he would

willingly risk his life to save him.

"I can see it," Tim said with a smile.

Mike peered at Tim and said, "I've heard that you're close to Greg."

Tim looked at Mike in astonishment for several seconds and then he replied, "Yes. Greg and I are good

friends."

Mike believed that Tim could tell him what he wanted to know so he decided not to beat around the

bush anymore, "You might also know what happened between him and Violet."

Tim nodded his head. He could almost figure out what Mike wanted to say. Mike definitely wanted to This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

know more about Greg through him. Lawrence and Mike had just returned recently and they hadn't

done anything yet but Tim thought that since he knew what happened between Greg and Violet,

Lawrence also knew it. Tim was surprised that Mike didn't know what really happened.

When Mike noticed that Tim didn't speak, he added, "I only want to know one thing. Is Violet happy in

Greg's family?" He emphasized the word "happy" on purpose.

Tim didn't intend to hide from Mike so he honestly replied, "Greg's family is big. But I'm sure that she is

happy with Greg. There are so many outside troubles that make them..."

Before Tim could finish, Mike interrupted him, "What about Fred?" He was direct in asking the

questions because according to what he found out, Violet didn't really like Greg's family. Otherwise, she

wouldn't have lived in a small apartment with Greg. She should have chosen to live in the villa where

Greg's family lived.

"He is nice to Violet and he likes her. Well, you know that he has a very good relationship with Alice's

father and Violet's father. So, how could he possibly treat Violet badly?"

"What about the problem between them and Sharon?" Mike asked as he stared at Tim.
