A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 26

After dinner, Kylee insisted on washing the dishes herself, not letting Bryson and Audrey help.

While she was on it, Audrey finally got the chance to talk with Bryson alone.

Bryson was sitting on the sofa while Audrey served him a glass of water.

She placed the glass on the tea table and sat on the other side. After some hesitation, she stated.

"Mr. Bryson."

Bryson glanced sideways at her.

"What?"

Audrey turned to be solemn, "Well, I heard that your company is going to change a law firm?"

"Yes!" Bryson had a sip of water and nodded, "Harold lost the lawsuit last time. He can't deal with simple economic disputes. We don't need such an incapable team."

"Well, Square Law Firm, the firm I work for, intends to cooperate with the Cordova Group. Maybe you can take us into consideration."

Bryson's deep gaze lingered on Audrey's face.

"Square Law Firm? The firm you work for?"

"Yes!" Audrey gave a little cough, "our firm has been around for years in Peace City. We have long- term working relationship with many large groups and have a prominent advantage in dealing with economic disputes. And..."

However, Bryson interrupted her in a bland tone.

"Ms. Audrey, there are a lot of law firms better than yours."

Audrey was lost for words.

Audrey had prepared a lot of words. But Bryson's words were like a basin of freezing water. All of her enthusiasm was extinguished. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Yeah, there were a lot of law firms better than hers.

He was Bryson. Of course, he knew which law firm would be of the greatest use to his company.

There was no need for the Cordova Group to choose Square Law Firm.

This meant rejection, right?

She didn't feel disappointed because she didn't entertain much hopes at all.

But the topic did produce an awkward moment.

Both of them were silent for a long while.

Suddenly, Bryson's voice came.

"Ms. Audrey."

"Yes?"

"Why don't you go on?"

"Go on with what?"

"Convincing me!"

Audrey was surprised.

He asked her to convince him? He had already rejected her, so how could she go on and convince him?

She rubbed her nose awkwardly.

"Mr. Bryson, to be honest, I agree that Square Law Firm was not a wise choice for you. After all, in Peace City, there are many law firms that are better. They are more worthy of your choice." Audrey stated with sincerity.

"Ms. Audrey is considerate."

"I'm just telling the truth."

"But I might change my mind if you continue to convince me." Bryson stated in a firm voice. As he said, he directly looked into Audrey.

Audrey was lost for words.

Somehow, she felt that Bryson's gaze was somewhat passionate. She had seen such gaze from her pursuers.

Could it be that Bryson...?

Impossible!

Audrey was hesitated, "Our law firm...."

But Bryson just interrupted her.

"Ms. Audrey, it is impossible to convince me with the strength of Square Law Firm." Bryson appeared to be frank.

Audrey was speechless.

He himself had said that he might change his mind if she continued to convince him, so what? She had only said three words when he interrupted her. How could she continue?

Audrey frowned, "Then, Mr. Bryson, how do you want me to convince you?"

"Apart from strength, there is only personal favor that can touch me. To change my mind, maybe ... Ms. Audrey's identity suffices." Bryson fixed his eyes on Audrey's face.

Of course, Audrey was not that stupid. She wouldn't think her identity as his fake sister could touch him.

Bryson had made his intention clear.

If a woman was able to change his mind, she could only be his....

Feeling his passionate gaze, Audrey felt her heart skipped a beat. A myriad of thoughts whirled round in her mind.

She slightly clenched her hands.

"Mr. Bryson, you want me to be your godsister?" Audrey asked tentatively.

Bryson curled up his lips.

"Ms. Audrey, I don't need a sister."

Well, he had totally made it clear.

Audrey was awkward.

She bit her lower lip and said, "Mr. Bryson, if ... if it is because of Grandma, I can change my mind and stay longer. I promise, I'll leave only after she gets better."

"You don't want to date me because of Grandma?"

Audrey was lost for words.

How did he come to this conclusion?

"Mr. Bryson, I don't intend to date at present."

"Then, when do you plan to?"

Could he stop asking her such embarrassing questions? Even if she intends to date someone, it couldn't be him. After all, he was a high-ranking CEO of the Cordova Group while she an ordinary lawyer. The gap between them was not just a flood ditch, okay? It was the whole galaxy!

Audrey stated, "Mr. Bryson, first, I don't like you, so I won't be with you. Second, we have just known each other. It takes time for one to commit oneself into a relationship."

Bryson fell into silence.

And Audrey continued.

"Yes, I get along well with Grandma. But it doesn't mean we could be together as boyfriend and girlfriend. You will find that out later."

Bryson nodded, "I will."

Bryson looked into her eyes as she appeared to be relieved.

Audrey thought that he had been convinced and didn't think too much about his words.

Of course, she didn't continue to persuade him to cooperate with Square Law Firm.

Just as they finished their conversation, Kylee walked out of the kitchen.

Actually, after the conversation, Audrey did not want to stay with Bryson any longer.

"Grandma, it's getting late. Now that I've finished my dinner, you may need to go home."

Kylee looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o'clock.

"Yes, it's getting late." Kylee muttered.

"Yes. Then I'll see you out!"

"Wait!" Kylee suddenly turned to her, "Take your luggage."

Audrey was puzzled, "My luggage?"

"Yes, pack up and go home with me. You should stay home before your arm is better."
