Boomerang Love

Brendan's face soured. "Why would I care about whether she's happy or not?"

Then, he continued, "I've told you countless times that there's nothing between us."

Naomi said between mouthfuls of nuts, "I didn't realize you're so good at making excuses."

"I don't understand. Can you stop being jealous?" Brendan's fair face showed signs of tipsiness. The metal -framed glasses clipped on his nose made him look handsome and a little cocky.

Naomi didn't like hearing that. She stuffed a walnut into his mouth. "Don't start. You're not important enough to me to make me jealous."

Brendan was silent for a while. He then complained, "Naomi, can't you fucking peel the walnut before you put it into my mouth?"

Brendan's loud complaint made everyone look toward him. When they saw him spit out an unshelled walnut, they all began grinning.

"That's right, Mr. Ludwig."

"Mr. Ludwig, I heard that you're eating here. We're here to toast you." Suddenly, the door opened, and the head of the Dorcan Law Firm and two other lawyers walked through.

One of them was a young, gorgeous female lawyer. When she came in and saw Naomi beside Brendan, the smile on Gwendolyn Smith's face froze.

She was a professional in these kinds of situations. She looked at Brendan's posture and Naomi's expression and knew they were teasing each other under the table.

So that was why Naomi managed to snatch the role of legal representative from them. She must've been skilled in this aspect.

"Mr. Ludwig."

"Mr. Ludwig," she greeted Brendan with a smile, although she was unsatisfied with Naomi.

When Brendan saw them come over for a toast, he glanced at Jason Jason hurriedly filled his glass.

After a few rounds of small talk, the female lawyer from Dorcan focused her attention on Naomi again. Gwendolyn saw Naomi sitting casually beside Brendan. His arm was slung around her chair.

She felt uncomfortable.

Thus, she looked at Naomi and said, "The Ludwig Corporation and Dorcan Law Firm have worked together for three years.

"Ms. Goodwin has only entered the business for a year, and she has taken our job already. She must have some excellent qualities!"

The woman's words made everyone look at Naomi funny.

Initially, when Brendan pulled a chair out for her, they were already anticipating a good show.

Since the woman brought the topic of conversation to her, Naomi looked up at her and said, "Clearly, my professional capabilities exceed yours!"

Naomi could tell that they didn't mean well from the first moment they entered. When they signed the contract to become Ludwig Corporation's legal counsel, Dorcan had spread rumors about them.

A woman was usually criticized for having illicit relationships with men in power. However, she was happy to do so with Brendan.

"Dorcan has been here for a long time. Why don't you look at how long Solaris has only been around? Ms. Goodwin is overly confident.

"You must have some exceptional qualities! If not, how could you be sitting in the prime seat of today's dinner?"

She didn't think that Brendan would speak out for Naomi in a ladies' quarrel.

After all, Naomi was a woman, and so was she. Whatever Naomi had, she had too.

After Gwendolyn finished speaking, Naomi threw her nuts onto the table.

She stood leisurely and stuck her hands into her dress pockets "Ms Smith, what you're saying here is that I've slept with Mr. Ludwig to get to where I am now?"

"Of course," Naomi declared, "I have been in an illicit relationship with Mr. m Ludwig just to further my career. If you want to pin the blame on anyone, blame yourself for being less than me, even in this aspect!"

While speaking,
