In Square Law Firm...
The news that Audrey won the case spread to the law firm. Freddy was also grinning from ear to ear. It was because the fee that Zachery paid was very high. That fee alone could cover all the expenses of the law firm for a month, and there was also a surplus. How could he not be happy?
Therefore, after Audrey returned, Freddy asked her to his office and gave her a big compliment.
As Audrey entered Freddy's office, the staffs in the law firm were talking about it.
"Audrey won another case. She is really a wonderful woman. She has won two important cases in a month since she came here."
"I know! When everyone thinks she will lose, she surprisingly turns it around and makes it."
"The newcomer excels the veterans. Audrey is indeed an outstanding lawyer. I really feel stressed."
"Oh, I heard that you lost a case. Is it true?"
"Yes!"
"It seems that only Audrey won this month. Even Liana failed in that divorce lawsuit."
Hearing the colleagues mention her, Liana sitting at the side gnashed her teeth, and managed to restrain her anger.
Damn it. Every time Audrey won a lawsuit, she would get criticism and contempt. She couldn't tolerate it!
Audrey was unbelievably lucky. She actually won every time.
After Audrey came out, Susan walked in front of Liana and said, "Liana, Mr. Freddy asks you to his office."
Liana said nothing.
She was clear about Freddy's purpose.
He wanted to question her about why she lost that case yesterday.
Liana was in Freddy's office. The receptionist suddenly called Audrey and asked her to the front desk because someone was there for her.
Audrey was discussing with her colleagues about where to eat for lunch.
Hearing this, her colleagues all craned their necks to see who came.
Audrey walked to the front desk, and also didn't know who was waiting for her. As she walked over, she saw a familiar woman.
It was the maid, Jane, who was a servant in the Cordova Mansion.
Some people followed Audrey out. They were very disappointed when they saw a woman came here rather than a man.
Upon seeing Audrey, Jane respectfully bowed to her.
"Hi, Ms. Audrey."
"Jane, why are you here?"
Jane smiled and showed a lunch box in her hand. "This is what Kylee asked me to give to you."
"And..." Jane waved an thermos container in her right hand, "This is the millet porridge that Mr. Bryson specifically ordered the servant to cook for you."
Audrey was surprised, "They are too much."
"Kylee and Mr. Bryson said that it doesn't matter if you can't finish them all. The doctor emphasizes that you can't eat too much because you have weak spleen and stomach."
"Okay, thank you."
Audrey took the lunch box and the lunch box.
Liana came out of Freddy's office, and was sullen. She thought that Audrey would be ridiculed by her colleagues. Unexpectedly, they were all looking towards the front desk, discussing something.
"What's the matter? What happened?" Liana asked in surprise.
"Someone just came here and sent lunch to Audrey. I'm really jealous."
As soon as her colleague finished, Liana saw Audrey returning from the front desk with a smile on her face.
Looking at the lunch box and the thermos container in Audrey's hands, Liana almost went crazy with jealousy.
'Why? Audrey is more competent than me at work. And she also lives a happier life than me. A man declared his love for her, and proposed to her. Now, she even has someone care about her and send lunch to her. But me? I dated with my husband when I was 18, and married him at the age of 24. Now I'm 30, and my husband wants to divorce me.'
Well, her marriage couldn't stand the test of time.
Liana snorted and said angrily, "She is a promiscuous woman, man's plaything. I'm jealous of her for nothing."
Audrey, who was back to her seat, took out her phone to call Kylee, and told her that the lunch box had been received.
After that, Audrey wanted to call Bryson.
However, she was afraid of disturbing him, so she sent a message.
Audrey: I've received the porridge. Thank you.
Just as the message was sent, her phone rang.
Bryson called her.
Most of the colleagues in the office had left for lunch. And there were few people right now.
Audrey answered the call, "Hello!"
"I've read your message!" Bryson whispered.
"Oh, thank you for your porridge."
"You need to take a kind of medicine before meal. And the rest should be taken half an hour after meal. Are you clear which one should be taken before meal?"
Audrey replied quickly, "I know, I know."
"Take that medicine first, and then have the porridge, finally the meal."
"Alright." Audrey asked with concern, "By the way, you aren't busy now?"
Audrey thought that Bryson wasn't occupied because he gave her a call so soon.
"We're in a meeting!"
Audrey was lost for words.
He was actually in a meeting. So ..., was he speaking with her on the phone in front of others?
Audrey felt embarrassed and said, "Then you can continue the meeting. Bye."
"Bye!"
...
At the meeting room of the Cordova Group...
There was an indefinable air of tension at the meeting. Several directors were being fiercely scolded by Bryson.
They were all nervous. And dead silence reigned in the meeting room.
At this time, Bryson's phone rang.
The silence in the room gave a sharp contrast to the ring of the phone.
Bryson would ignore the message he received during the meeting.
However, Bryson glanced at his phone and suddenly raised his hand to stop a person in charge of the program from speaking. Then, he made a phone call.
That person in charge stood there in confusion, staring blankly at Bryson.
Then, the others in the meeting room saw Bryson, who had just criticized them like a Satan, talking softly on the phone and patiently telling the other party how to take the medicine. The attendees looked at each other in shock.
Bryson was so gentle to the one on the phone. So, people in the meeting room got a little relaxed.
They hoped that call could last longer.
Moreover, they were all quite curious about who Bryson was speaking with.
They guessed the other party was a woman because Bryson's eyes were full of love.
They would stop at nothing to fawn on that woman for her support if they knew who she was.
Bryson ended the call. His gentle face immediately became saturnine. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Go on!" Bryson said coldly.
He became a totally different man! Why did that call end so soon?
That person in charge who was speaking just now had a sad face. He didn't know how to continue.
What was he going to say just now?
