Chapter 26
\nA Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 26<\/p>\n
After dinner, Kylee insisted on washing the dishes herself, not letting Bryson and Audrey help.<\/p>\n
While she was on it, Audrey finally got the chance to talk with Bryson alone.<\/p>\n
Bryson was sitting on the sofa while Audrey served him a glass of water.<\/p>\n
She placed the glass on the tea table and sat on the other side. After some hesitation, she stated.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Bryson.”<\/p>\n
Bryson glanced sideways at her.<\/p>\n
“What?”<\/p>\n
Audrey turned to be solemn, “Well, I heard that your company is going to change a law firm?”<\/p>\n
“Yes!” Bryson had a sip of water and nodded, “Harold lost the lawsuit last time. He can’t deal with simple economic disputes. We don’t need such an incapable team.”<\/p>\n
“Well, Square Law Firm, the firm I work for, intends to cooperate with the Cordova Group. Maybe you can take us into consideration.”<\/p>\n
Bryson’s deep gaze lingered on Audrey’s face.<\/p>\n
“Square Law Firm? The firm you work for?”<\/p>\n
“Yes!” Audrey gave a little cough, “our firm has been around for years in Peace City. We have long-term working relationship with many large groups and have a prominent advantage in dealing with economic disputes. And…”<\/p>\n
However, Bryson interrupted her in a bland tone.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Audrey, there are a lot of law firms better than yours.”<\/p>\n
Audrey was lost for words.<\/p>\n
Audrey had prepared a lot of words. But Bryson’s words were like a basin of freezing water. All of her enthusiasm was extinguished.<\/p>\n
Yeah, there were a lot of law firms better than hers.<\/p>\n
He was Bryson. Of course, he knew which law firm would be of the greatest use to his company.<\/p>\n
There was no need for the Cordova Group to choose Square Law Firm.<\/p>\n
This meant rejection, right?<\/p>\n
She didn’t feel disappointed because she didn’t entertain much hopes at all.<\/p>\n
But the topic did produce an awkward moment.<\/p>\n
Both of them were silent for a long while.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Bryson’s voice came.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Audrey.”<\/p>\n
“Yes?”<\/p>\n
“Why don’t you go on?”<\/p>\n
“Go on with what?”<\/p>\n
“Convincing me!”<\/p>\n
Audrey was surprised.<\/p>\n
He asked her to convince him? He had already rejected her, so how could she go on and convince him?<\/p>\n
She rubbed her nose awkwardly.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Bryson, to be honest, I agree that Square Law Firm was not a wise choice for you. After all, in Peace City, there are many law firms that are better. They are more worthy of your choice.” Audrey stated with sincerity.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Audrey is considerate.”<\/p>\n
“I’m just telling the truth.”<\/p>\n
“But I might change my mind if you continue to convince me.” Bryson stated in a firm voice. As he said, he directly looked into Audrey.<\/p>\n
Audrey was lost for words.<\/p>\n
Somehow, she felt that Bryson’s gaze was somewhat passionate. She had seen such gaze from her pursuers.<\/p>\n
Could it be that Bryson…?<\/p>\n
Impossible!<\/p>\n
“Mr. Bryson, I don’t intend to date at present.”<\/p>\n
“Then, when do you plan to?”<\/p>\n
Could he stop asking her such embarrassing questions? Even if she intends to date someone, it couldn’t be him. After all, he was a high-ranking CEO of the Cordova Group while she an ordinary lawyer. The gap between them was not just a flood ditch, okay? It was the whole galaxy!<\/p>\n
Audrey stated, “Mr. Bryson, first, I don’t like you, so I won’t be with you. Second, we have just known each other. It takes time for one to commit oneself into a relationship.”<\/p>\n
Bryson fell into silence.<\/p>\n
And Audrey continued.<\/p>\n
“Yes, I get along well with Grandma. But it doesn’t mean we could be together as boyfriend and girlfriend. You will find that out later.”<\/p>\n
Bryson nodded, “I will.”<\/p>\n
Bryson looked into her eyes as she appeared to be relieved.<\/p>\n
Audrey thought that he had been convinced and didn’t think too much about his words.<\/p>\n
Of course, she didn’t continue to persuade him to cooperate with Square Law Firm.<\/p>\n
Just as they finished their conversation, Kylee walked out of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Actually, after the conversation, Audrey did not want to stay with Bryson any longer.<\/p>\n
“Grandma, it’s getting late. Now that I’ve finished my dinner, you may need to go home.”<\/p>\n
Kylee looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o’clock.<\/p>\n
“Yes, it’s getting late.” Kylee muttered.<\/p>\n
“Yes. Then I’ll see you out!”<\/p>\n
“Wait!” Kylee suddenly turned to her, “Take your luggage.”<\/p>\n
Audrey was puzzled, “My luggage?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, pack up and go home with me. You should stay home before your arm is better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3357","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3357","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=3357"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
