Chapter 8
Damn. Audrey cursed Nell in her heart and quickly turned off the screen.
She was so embarrassed.
She was afraid that Bryson would misunderstand it and see her as a pervert. So, she explained, "That ... that picture ... my friend was pulling a prank on me."
"Okay."
Okay? What did that mean?
Audrey wanted to continue her explanation. But she felt it would only make it worse.
On second thought, their cooperation would be over in three months. She didn't need to care about how Bryson thought of her.
These past few days, Audrey was getting more unsettled. This was not like herself.
As Audrey looked through the news, her finger stopped on a piece of news.
News Title: Wendy Munn Won the Golden Television Award for Best New Actress. Who Is She?
After Audrey clicked on the headline, she saw the whole report. It said that Wendy was from a wealthy family and got engaged with Julian, the young master of the Four Seasons Group. The report exaggerated Wendy's identity to flatter her.
The pearl of the Munn Group, a wealthy family, a perfect couple.
Looking at the flattering words in the news, Audrey remained indifferent.
But when she saw the picture on the news, her face darkened.
She stared at the picture in the news. It was a photo of Wendy when she went on stage to get the award. The jade earrings on her ears belonged to Audrey's mother. Now, Wendy was wearing them.
How did Wendy dare to do it?
Bryson frowned when he saw Audrey staring at Wendy's photo with resentment.
Not long after, they arrived at the Square Law Firm.
Audrey put away her phone and smiled at Bryson. "Thank you, Mr. Bryson. This is me. Goodbye!"
"Bye."
Audrey got out of the car and walked into the law firm.
When Audrey had gone, Bryson withdrew his gaze and looked at Kolby Lawson in the driver's seat. "Let's go!"
Kolby replied, "Yes, Mr. Bryson."
When the car started, Bryson looked in the direction of the law firm again.
If he remembered correctly, Audrey just started working in the law firm and got a case yesterday. It was an economic dispute between the QK Architects and the Four Seasons Group, whose future master was Julian. And this man was engaged with Wendy, who had just won the Golden Television Award. Bryson saw it on Audrey's phone.
What did Audrey want to do?
...
In the morning, Jasmine of the Cordova Group called Audrey. So, Audrey went to the Cordova Group to discuss the details with her in the afternoon.
After the discussion, it was almost time to get off work. Audrey did not return to the law firm. She took a taxi and went shopping in the nearby mall.
While walking around the mall, Audrey saw a clothing store she loved. There was a set of clothes in the shop window, and she liked it very much. So, she immediately walked in.
At this time of the day, there were not many people in the store.
A shop assistant greeted Audrey warmly when she walked in. "Good afternoon. What can I do for you?"
Audrey pointed at the clothes in the window.
"Take those clothes for me. Size S."
"Miss, you really have good taste. That's one of our new arrivals. We just put it out today. And it's limited. There's only one set for every size. Please wait a moment. I'll bring it over for you soon."
"Alright."
When the shop assistant went to get the clothes, Audrey sat on the sofa and began to read their magazine.
Then a man and a woman walked in. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey glanced at them.
When she recognized them, her pupils dilated in shock.
Even though the woman was wearing a pair of large sunglasses and a black mask, Audrey recognized her at a glance. Moreover, the man she was holding was not wearing a mask. It was Julian.
The woman must be Wendy.
Audrey turned to look at Wendy's ears. Anger boiled up in her eyes.
Wendy was still wearing that pair of earrings.
The other shop assistant walked forward to greet them.
"Hi, do you find anything you like here?"
Wendy pointed at the clothes in the window. "I want that."
"That's limited. There's only one set for every size. May I know what size you're wearing?"
"S."
Meanwhile, the shop assistant who served Audrey, happened to take out the clothes.
"Miss, here it is. Do you want to try it now?"
"No. I'll take it. Please wrap it up!" Audrey said and paid it with her credit card.
The other assistant saw her wrapping up the clothes. She could only look at Wendy as she said in an apologetic tone.
"Miss, I'm sorry. That young lady has paid for it. Why don't you take a look at other clothes? We've got a few new arrivals today."
Wendy wore sunglasses and the lights in the store were a little dim. Moreover, Audrey had greatly changed during the past six years, so Wendy did not recognize her at all.
As for Julian, he didn't even look at Audrey, so he didn't recognize her either.
Wendy was arrogant. She would get it if she liked it. And she liked the clothes when she saw them.
But she was a big star now, so it was improper for her to fight over clothes.
When Audrey was about to try the clothes on, Wendy's eyes flashed with resentment. She shook Julian's arm. "Julian, I really like it."
"They're just some clothes." Julian didn't think it was a big deal.
Wendy clenched her teeth. "But I really like it. If you get it for me, I will ask my dad to cooperate with the Four Seasons Group on the South Bay Project."
Julian's eyes lit up.
He immediately walked up to Audrey.
"Miss, the clothes are 6, 000. I'll give you 10, 000 if you give it to my fiancée!" Julian took out his wallet.
Audrey looked coldly at his wallet.
"10, 000?" She smiled, "Not enough. I want 100, 000!"
Hearing this, Julian's face changed.
"You're crazy. The clothes...."
Audrey was indifferent and interrupted him. "One hundred thousand, not a penny less. Otherwise, I'll keep it myself!"
Julian couldn't help but frown.
However, if he could cooperate with the Munn Group on the South Bay Project, he could earn at least one million yuan.
So, Julian said through clenched teeth, "Alright, I'll give you 100, 000."
Julian transferred the money to Audrey on the spot. Then she gave them the clothes.
However, Audrey secretly tampered with the clothes before giving them to them.
...
The paparazzi near the mall heard that there was going to be big news in the mall. They sniffed a headline and rushed to it.
