"Now that you are the president of the FS Empire, I will not meddle in your affairs. I trust that you know how to handle and maintain business relationships, don't you?" Jackson continued, his eyes set on his son's. He had removed himself from the company. But Lawrence was still his son and he would still need advice from Jackson every now and then.
"Yes, Dad, I know," Lawrence confirmed.
"Okay, good. Lawrence, you'll have lunch today with your Dad and Uncle Allen. Make sure to leave a good impression on Allen, all right?" Cherry finished.

Lawrence could only nod his head at his mother and said nothing else.

Allen motioned for Jackson to take the seat beside him and Anna directed Lawrence beside her. She had eyes only for Lawrence.
Allen and Jackson spent their time discussing business while Anna and Lawrence ate. Anna kept stealing glances at Lawrence, who stayed silent. Allen glanced at his daughter with her sparkling eyes on Lawrence. He pretended to complain to Jackson. "Look at my daughter. Once she has met the man of her dreams, she doesn't acknowledge my existence anymore," he grumbled with a fake frown.
"I know that feeling," Jackson laughed. "Violet always forgets me whenever she's with Greg."
"Our daughters are the apples of our eyes and we used to be theirs, and now, somebody's replaced us," Allen continued to pretend to whine. But inside, he was so excited for his daughter. He knew Jackson liked his daughter. And he liked Lawrence. An arrangement between the two of them was just inevitable, he thought.
