In the past, Freddy would have immediately retorted when hearing insult words against him. But today... he didn't
do so.
He was obviously stunned for a moment. A trace of panic appeared on his face, and then he quickly calmed down.
"That's not something big. You can't talk back to the client!"
Audrey smiled and replied, "Okay, Mr. Steele."
"Alright, you've been busy with things about the Cordova Group recently. So if you can't handle things about our
firm, just leave it to your colleagues." Freddy said.
Audrey said, "It's okay. I can handle them! I'm indeed a little busy, but I won't delay anything else."
"Then okay!"
Freddy said and turned to leave.
"Mr. Steele, wait a minute!" Audrey called out to Freddy.
"What's wrong?"
Audrey smiled and said, "Our firm is responsible for the case about Liam. So... can you let me handle it?"
Freddy looked in dilemma. "Well, I have transferred it to Deegan."
Audrey glanced at Deegan, who was seated in front of her.
Although Deegan had failed in many cases, Freddy still felt he was a great lawyer. So Freddy still let him be
responsible for important cases again and again to prove his choice despite being angry with Deegan.
But Audrey called out to Deegan.
"Deegan."
"What's up?" Deegan turned around.
Audrey smiled and said, "You're responsible for the Liam case, right?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Can you transfer it to me?"
"But Mr. Steele said I can handle it. How can I transfer it to someone else?"
Audrey narrowed her eyes. "Deegan, I have a case that is just about to come to an end. We'll definitely win because
we've got complete evidence. How about I exchange this case with you?"
Deegan's eyes lit up.
But he said casually to save his face, "No. Since I've taken it over, I will be responsible for that!"
Deegan turned around proudly.
Audrey glared at Deegan's back.
Freddy looked at Audrey awkwardly. "Audrey, you see, Deegan has taken over this case. So it's better to leave it to
Deegan. I'll go back to the office."
After Freddy left, Audrey glanced at Deegan, her eyes narrowed.
She had to get this case no matter what.
Since Deegan refused to transfer to her, she could only find another way to force him to do so.
Suddenly something occurred to Audrey's mind.
"Brenda, what happened in the office today?"
Brenda looked carefully in the direction of Freddy and mysteriously looked at Audrey. He then pointed in the
direction of the bathroom when he ensured Freddy wouldn't see him.
Audrey knew what he meant. She walked to the bathroom with Brenda.
"What's wrong?"
Brenda glanced at Freddy's office. "Mr. Steele's rival is here today."
Audrey knew who Steele's rival was.
Two blocks away was also a large law firm, and its director was Freddy's classmate from high school. Now they
became competitors and often snatched away cases from each other.
But often that law firm would get the case as it was richer.
"Then what happened?"
"Mr. Steele was also a great lawyer. He was the only director when the firm was established."
Audrey nodded. "I know this. Mr. Steele no longer worked as a lawyer because of some reason. Instead, he started
to do the management."
"Yes, I heard their conversation today. It seems that the director of that firm wanted to invite Mr. Steele to attend
his wedding."
"Attend wedding? It's not a big deal."
As classmates, it made sense to invite the other one to his wedding.
"That's right. But there is something wrong with the wedding... The bride was Freddy's beloved girl."
Audrey was shocked.
So it was because Freddy saw his love rivals.
And Freddy snatched away the case just because the other party had taken away his beloved girl.
"Well, we can't decide the direction of a relationship..."
Brenda looked around and said in a low voice, "It is said that the bride dated Mr. Steele, but for some reason, she
dumped Mr. Steele."
Audrey was surprised again.
What a bumpy romantic experience!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAudrey knew that Freddy was almost 40 years old now, but he was still single. She had heard that someone wanted
to seduce him, but it didn't work. Audrey had also seen things like that.
"In short, Mr. Steele is in a bad mood today. You'd better be careful. Don't make him mad."
Audrey nodded cautiously. "Okay, I see."
She was not that stupid to enrage him.
After this conversation, Audrey glanced in the direction of Deegan, her beautiful eyes narrowed.
She walked directly to Deegan.
Deegan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Angel, what's up?"
Audrey smiled and looked at him. "Deegan, are you free at noon?"
Deegan glanced at her and raised his chin arrogantly. "My time is precious."
"Could I have lunch with you? It's my treat."
Deegan sized up Audrey carefully, who gave him a gentle, sweet smile.
Audrey really looked attractive with her smile when she treated him well. Deegan was a little dazzled by her smile.
For the first time, he found that Audrey was so beautiful.
He didn't notice her beauty because of some bad impressions of her.
He knew that Audrey had never had a boyfriend.
If he could... get Audrey and sleep with her, she would never hold up her head in front of him.
"You want to treat me to lunch?"
Of course, Audrey knew nothing about what Deegan had thought about.
"Yes!"
"Then I will say yes no matter what!" Deegan happily agreed.
