Chapter 21
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 21<\/p>\n
Later, the person who came to pick up Bryson called Bryson, and Bryson left.<\/p>\n
The expression on Bryson’s face barely changed the whole time.<\/p>\n
After Bryson walked out of the door, Audrey closed it, leaning against the door and feeling weak.<\/p>\n
Every time she was around Bryson, she felt powerless.<\/p>\n
Back on the sofa, Audrey took her phone and called Nell.<\/p>\n
“Nell, this is the end of our friendship.”<\/p>\n
Nell was working overtime at the newspaper, and she was rendered confused about the sudden announcement.<\/p>\n
“What happened? We haven’t slept together for a few days and you miss me already?”<\/p>\n
‘Funny.’<\/p>\n
Nell and she were different.<\/p>\n
Nell, who was working in the media industry, would know it when there was gossip.<\/p>\n
Although Audrey had complained about Nell sending her erotic stuff, she had always taken it easy. She rarely called Nell like that, joking about terminating the friendship.<\/p>\n
Audrey stopped talking. So, Nell asked,<\/p>\n
“A man saw the photo I sent you or the magazine in your home, and stopped thinking that you are cool. You’re too ashamed, so you’re calling to blame me?”<\/p>\n
Audrey was surprised.<\/p>\n
‘Amazing! Was she watching me? How could she guess the answer straight away?’<\/p>\n
Audrey remained silent. Nell had been exhausted because of overtime, and now she became spirited because of the gossip.<\/p>\n
“Tell me that who the man in your bed is?”<\/p>\n
“Nonsense. We are just friends.”<\/p>\n
“Then there’s such a person. He can’t be an ordinary man since he’s able to get you to like him. Bring him out someday and introduce him to us.”<\/p>\n
Once Nell started gossiping, she would manage to know every secret of a person.<\/p>\n
So, it had to stop.<\/p>\n
Audrey changed the subject, “I heard the sound of a printer. Are you still in the office?”<\/p>\n
“Yes!” Then, Nell cried out.<\/p>\n
“What is it?”<\/p>\n
“A reporter from our newspaper just sent me news. It’s about Zachery. You helped him win the case today.”<\/p>\n
“What happened to him?” Audrey asked.<\/p>\n
“He went to a hotel with his mistress and got caught by his wife, who wants to divorce him.”<\/p>\n
Audrey raised her eyebrows.<\/p>\n
She had long known that Zachery had mistresses. And she had been planning to work out a solution in the near future. However, she didn’t expect that it came so soon.<\/p>\n
She happened to have something that she wanted to send to Zachery’s wife.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
The next morning, Audrey arrived at the firm before working time. However, someone arrived earlier than her.<\/p>\n
Seeing Audrey, Zachery moved towards her with a smile.<\/p>\n
There were dark circles under Zachery’s eyes, and he looked fatigued. There was no doubt … that he didn’t sleep well last night.<\/p>\n
“Audrey, you’re finally here.” Zachery called out in a hoarse voice.<\/p>\n
Audrey looked at Zachery in surprise.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Gomez, what brings you here?” Audrey smiled and said, “The verdict on your case will be reached in the next two days. I’ll call you.”<\/p>\n
Zachery shook his head.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t come here for it.”<\/p>\n
“Since Mr. Gomez trusts me so much, I’ll … take this case.”<\/p>\n
“Wonderful.”<\/p>\n
Then, Audrey and Zachery discussed some details and reached an agreement.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
After signing the agreement with Zachery, Audrey returned to her office.<\/p>\n
Freddy walked out with a happy face.<\/p>\n
“Attention, everyone. I have good news.”<\/p>\n
Everyone in the office turned their eyes upon Freddy.<\/p>\n
Freddy coughed and said,<\/p>\n
“I just received a piece of news. Do you know the Cordova Group, don’t you?”<\/p>\n
A colleague replied, “Of course we know. It’s the legend of business in Peace City. What do you want to say, Mr. Steele?”<\/p>\n
“Harold’s law firm used to represent the Cordova Group. However, … because Harold lost in the Four Seasons Group’s case yesterday, the Cordova Group decided to terminate the cooperation. Now, the Cordova Group has announced that it will hire a new law firm,” Freddy said with excitement.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, however, no one spoke. Three seconds later, they turned around and continued to work.<\/p>\n
Seeing the calm faces, Freddy frowned.<\/p>\n
“What’s your attitude? The Cordova Group is going to hire a new law firm. Why are you so calm?”<\/p>\n
An elderly lawyer laughed and said, “Mr. Steele, what does it to do with our law firm?”<\/p>\n
“It means that our law firm has an opportunity to cooperate with the leading business group in Peace City!” Freddy said.<\/p>\n
All the other lawyers in the firm seemed to lack interest, either.<\/p>\n
The elderly lawyer laughed again.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Steele, the Cordova Group is the leading business group in Peace City. It would choose a major law firm to be its agency, not us!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3352","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
