A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 21

Later, the person who came to pick up Bryson called Bryson, and Bryson left.

The expression on Bryson's face barely changed the whole time.

After Bryson walked out of the door, Audrey closed it, leaning against the door and feeling weak.

Every time she was around Bryson, she felt powerless.

Back on the sofa, Audrey took her phone and called Nell.

"Nell, this is the end of our friendship."

Nell was working overtime at the newspaper, and she was rendered confused about the sudden announcement.

"What happened? We haven't slept together for a few days and you miss me already?"

'Funny.'

Nell and she were different.

Nell, who was working in the media industry, would know it when there was gossip.

Although Audrey had complained about Nell sending her erotic stuff, she had always taken it easy. She rarely called Nell like that, joking about terminating the friendship.

Audrey stopped talking. So, Nell asked,

"A man saw the photo I sent you or the magazine in your home, and stopped thinking that you are cool. You're too ashamed, so you're calling to blame me?"

Audrey was surprised.

'Amazing! Was she watching me? How could she guess the answer straight away?'

Audrey remained silent. Nell had been exhausted because of overtime, and now she became spirited because of the gossip.

"Tell me that who the man in your bed is?"

"Nonsense. We are just friends."

"Then there's such a person. He can't be an ordinary man since he's able to get you to like him. Bring him out someday and introduce him to us."

Once Nell started gossiping, she would manage to know every secret of a person.

So, it had to stop.

Audrey changed the subject, "I heard the sound of a printer. Are you still in the office?"

"Yes!" Then, Nell cried out.

"What is it?"

"A reporter from our newspaper just sent me news. It's about Zachery. You helped him win the case today."

"What happened to him?" Audrey asked.

"He went to a hotel with his mistress and got caught by his wife, who wants to divorce him."

Audrey raised her eyebrows.

She had long known that Zachery had mistresses. And she had been planning to work out a solution in the near future. However, she didn't expect that it came so soon.

She happened to have something that she wanted to send to Zachery's wife.

...

The next morning, Audrey arrived at the firm before working time. However, someone arrived earlier than her.

Seeing Audrey, Zachery moved towards her with a smile.

There were dark circles under Zachery's eyes, and he looked fatigued. There was no doubt ... that he didn't sleep well last night.

"Audrey, you're finally here." Zachery called out in a hoarse voice.

Audrey looked at Zachery in surprise.

"Mr. Gomez, what brings you here?" Audrey smiled and said, "The verdict on your case will be reached in the next two days. I'll call you."

Zachery shook his head.

"I didn't come here for it."

Audrey asked, pretending to be confused, "Then why are you...?"

Zachery looked at the other lawyers in the firm with a nervous face.

Audrey knew what he meant and looked at him with a smile.

"Let's talk in the conference room."

"Okay!"

...

In the conference room.

As soon as sitting down, Zachery said, "Audrey, I want to hire you as my lawyer."

Audrey was puzzled.

"Is your company involved in some kind of economic dispute?"

Zachery looked embarrassed.

"It's not my company. It's ... my private issue."

"Private issue?"

Facing Audrey, Zachery didn't hide anything. He said, "My wife has evidence of my cheating and wants to divorce me now, but ... she doesn't want to leave me anything. Besides, she ... got videos and photos of my cheating from somewhere. And considering her relationship with the Stanton family...."

Audrey seemed to understand.

"So, you want me to help you with your divorce."

"That's right."

"I see."

"In addition, my wife is a close friend of Wendy Munn of the Munn Group. I'm afraid that the Munns may interfere as well. Audrey, if you can help me win the case, I'll pay an extra amount of money to your law firm as legal fees," Zachery promised.

Zachery wanted to find a more famous lawyer at first.

However, the case against the Four Seasons Group was tricky, and Audrey won it with ease. So, Zachery decided to hire Audrey as his lawyer again.

"Since Mr. Gomez trusts me so much, I'll ... take this case."

"Wonderful."

Then, Audrey and Zachery discussed some details and reached an agreement.

...

After signing the agreement with Zachery, Audrey returned to her office.

Freddy walked out with a happy face.

"Attention, everyone. I have good news."

Everyone in the office turned their eyes upon Freddy.

Freddy coughed and said,

"I just received a piece of news. Do you know the Cordova Group, don't you?"

A colleague replied, "Of course we know. It's the legend of business in Peace City. What do you want to say, Mr. Steele?"

"Harold's law firm used to represent the Cordova Group. However, ... because Harold lost in the Four Seasons Group's case yesterday, the Cordova Group decided to terminate the cooperation. Now, the Cordova Group has announced that it will hire a new law firm," Freddy said with excitement.

Hearing this, however, no one spoke. Three seconds later, they turned around and continued to work.

Seeing the calm faces, Freddy frowned.

"What's your attitude? The Cordova Group is going to hire a new law firm. Why are you so calm?"

An elderly lawyer laughed and said, "Mr. Steele, what does it to do with our law firm?"

"It means that our law firm has an opportunity to cooperate with the leading business group in Peace City!" Freddy said.

All the other lawyers in the firm seemed to lack interest, either.

The elderly lawyer laughed again.

"Mr. Steele, the Cordova Group is the leading business group in Peace City. It would choose a major law firm to be its agency, not us!"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
