Chapter Seventeen
Just as predicted, it turned out to be a very busy day at the office. Stanley had meetings with a number of clients, his business partners and his lawyer.
The staff of Chatwin's Inc were also nice enough to surprise Stanley with cakes and gifts during lunchtime.
Despite how busy Stan was, Lauren made sure he had his lunch. It was his day and the best thing that could happen was for him to break his two meals per day rule.
It wasn't a rule that he intentionally made but due to stress and all other pressure around the company, Stanley hardly remembers to have lunch.
The day went by pretty fast and soon enough it was time for him and Lauren to go home.
Lauren walked into Stanley's office with both her handbag and laptop bag. Stan was seated on a chair behind his desk and he was on the phone. He gestured for Lauren to come sit on his lap and she did just that.
