Lauren walked past the doors and then stopped in front of her uncle's office. She took a deep breath before she could open the door. She jumped for cover as she heard a voice. "Ouh, You make me scared!"
"Pardon me, Ms. Warner. My intention is not to scare you." The man bowed a little. She nodded at the man. She knew it was not his mistake; she was not prepared. Then it clicked for her that he was Jacob, her Uncle's Assistant.
"Sir William is busy with his guests. I would like you to know that he will not be free, for sometimes you can come tomorrow."
Lauren furrowed her brow in confusion. 'Why does this man seem strange to her now?'
Who was inside, and why wouldn't her uncle be able to meet her now or after the meeting?
She knew that if she let her uncle know that she was here to talk to him, he would definitely stop the meeting and ask her why she was there and if something happened.
