Bryson laughed and said, "Didn't you treat money like dirt in the past? Why did you suddenly think of that fountain pen?"
Audrey heaved a sigh.
"I was too young and worked for others. I didn't think it was difficult to earn money. Now I have started my own business. Money is a good thing. If my office is short of money, I can sell that pen and repay the debt!" Audrey smiled.
Bryson looked at Audrey's expression and smiled dotingly.
"Is one enough?"
"It's fine if you give me two. After all, good things come in pairs!"
Bryson narrowed his eyes. "You don't have to rush about for money. If you marry me, I will be yours. Everything I have is yours."
"What I want is to stand beside you. You will not be criticized by anyone. I want to give you the best dowry!" Audrey blushed as she said this.
Dowry!
Bryson was overjoyed.
Audrey had thought about marrying him, and her law firm was her dowry.
Bryson scratched her nose gently. "Then you have to work hard in the future."
Audrey raised her eyebrows. "What? Are you afraid that my dowry will be too little?"
"Is it that so obvious?" Bryson pondered for a moment. "Well, you should do your best in the future."
Audrey was speechless.
Audrey glared at Bryson, but the lunch still ended happily.
After lunch, Bryson returned to the company and asked Melvin to come to his office.
Seeing that Bryson was in a good mood, Melvin felt that everything would be easy for him.
"Mr. Bryson, what could I help?" When Mr. Bryson was happy, he usually wouldn't make things difficult for his subordinates. It seemed that the lunch with Audrey was more than pleasant.
The smile on Bryson's face was so wide that it almost reached his ears.
"Call the companies that have been working with the Cordova Group in the past six months and ask them when their cooperation with their law firm will expire. If it expires this month, don't sign another law firm next month."
Melvin knew that Audrey had already left Square Law Firm. And she was decorating her new law firm. Melvin immediately understood what his boss meant.
"Yes, Mr. Bryson. I'll call them right away."
"OK. You can leave now."
"By the way, Mr. Bryson, Square Law Firm just sent someone over."
Bryson frowned. "What do they want?"
"They said that the Cordova Group's consultant lawyer came from Square Law Firm, but... because the previous legal advisor, Audrey, had already left, they planned to send another lawyer to take over the
job."
Bryson said coldly, "I don't want to see them. Do you know what I mean?"
"I understand!" Melvin immediately reacted.
"You may leave now."
"Yes!"
Melvin came out of Bryson's office, covered in a cold sweat. He then went to the lounge to see Square Law Firm's representative.
It was Brenda.
Brenda saw Melvin come in and stood up happily. "Mr. Melvin, I heard that Mr. Bryson is back, isn't he?"
"He's back."
"Is he willing to see me?"
"Brenda, Mr. Bryson said that he won't see you."
"Why?" Brenda's expression changed. "The Cordova Group worked with Square Law Firm. How could he refuse to meet me?"
Melvin's face was sullen.
"Brenda, I don't agree with you. Although the Cordova Group worked with your legal firm, there is a rule in the cooperation treaty between us and your law office. The legal advisor of the Cordova Group must be Audrey."
"But Audrey has already resigned, so the law firm sent me..."
"Brenda, I'm afraid you haven't read the contents of the contract carefully. It has already been stated in the contract that if Audrey were to leave your office, the contract between the Cordova Group and the Square Law Firm will fail." Melvin reminded Brenda.
Brenda immediately took out the contract from her bag.
After reading the terms carefully, her face turned sullen.
What Melvin had said was true.
The contract stated that Audrey must be the legal advisor. Otherwise, the contract would be void.
No wonder no other lawyer was willing to take over the contract. Brenda thought the contract was a big bargain. Unexpectedly... it was a big joke.
The Cordova Group... only worked with Audrey.
How could it be!
Brenda failed to force a smile.
She tried her best to smile and looked at Melvin. "Mr. Melvin, could you do me a favor and let me talk with Mr. Bryson? I'm no worse than Audrey. I can definitely handle the job."
Brenda signed a check and stuffed it into Melvin's pocket. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Melvin's face was even sullener. He took out the check and handed it back to Brenda, "Brenda, our group has regulations. I can't break the rules for you. Please leave!"
Seeing that the check was refused, Brenda felt humiliated. She felt embarrassed. She bit her lip and put the check back, then walked out of the lounge.
Brenda went straight back to the law firm. As soon as she entered the office, a lawyer teased her.
"Brenda, how're things going? Have you secured the job of the legal advisor of the company?"
Brenda was speechless.
To her, it was humiliating.
"None of your business."
"I'm worried about you. You are Audrey's good friend. She should have called the Cordova Group and given you the job. It's a pity... It seems that the relationship between the two of you is just so-so."
"You..." Brenda was so angry that she wanted to smash her bag on the lawyer's head. In the end, she went to Freddy's office angrily.
Freddy knew that Brenda had returned empty-handed. After saying a few words to Brenda coldly, he chased Brenda out.
Brenda understood that she had failed Freddy. She couldn't be reused in the future.
If it wasn't for Audrey, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state today.
Audrey had better disappear as a lawyer, otherwise, she would definitely take revenge for today's humiliation.
