President&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Franco entered Bryson&#8217;s office with a dozen documents.<\/p>\n<p>When he got in, Franco had always been cautious, because &#8230; everyone in the company knew that Mr. Bryson had been in a bad mood these past two days.<\/p>\n<p>After almost a day of meetings yesterday, he called the entire group&#8217;s top executives over to scold them.<\/p>\n<p>They knew how it suffered for sure, and didn&#8217;t want to experience it again.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, Bryson went mad again. Everyone who entered his office was scolded.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone who came out of the president&#8217;s office was so much frightened, no wonder Franco would feel so panicked.<\/p>\n<p>Who knew what happened to Mr. Bryson these days. Could it be early menopause?<\/p>\n<p>However, Franco was Bryson&#8217;s secretary, so he had to send in some documents.<\/p>\n<p>Franco carefully placed them on Bryson&#8217;s desk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Bryson, here are the documents you need to sign. I&#8217;ll come and get them when you are done!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Franco turned around to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Before Franco could leave, Bryson called him coldly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stop.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franco turned around again and looked at Bryson emotionlessly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Bryson &#8230; anything wrong?&#8221; He trembled with fear.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson looked at him in a poker face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where are the documents about the consulting law firm last time?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franco replied quickly, &#8220;Because you haven&#8217;t decided which law firm to choose, the documents have been on my desk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Square Law Firm then!&#8221; Bryson said coldly, &#8220;Call Square Law Firm right now to send someone over this morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Square Law Firm? When hearing it, Franco immediately understood what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to have something to do with Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Melvin told him that Bryson and Audrey had met in Pine City, and they had been out dating all day.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson should be very happy after dating Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was Bryson upset today, he had also become exceptionally irritable.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that Bryson had quarreled with Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, Bryson would not have suddenly become so irritable.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing out his words, Franco went out to call Square Law Firm right away.<\/p>\n<p>Freddy&#8217;s secretary Susan answered the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hello, Square Law Firm here. How can I help you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franco: &#8220;Hello, I&#8217;m from the Cordova Group, Mr. Bryson&#8217;s secretary, Franco Blackwell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Susan asked in surprise, &#8220;What, are you from the Cordova Group?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franco said, &#8220;Yes, Mr. Bryson has just decided to work with your firm. May I ask &#8230;?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before he could finish his words, Susan interrupted him in excitement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did you say? Is it true that you will cooperate with us?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Franco said, &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Please calm down. Could I speak to Audrey in your firm, please?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey? She didn&#8217;t come today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She didn&#8217;t come?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, a client came here this morning for Audrey, but we didn&#8217;t get through to her.&#8221; Susan said in a hurry, &#8220;We have many other competent lawyers, or I could notify the others&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to!&#8221; Franco interrupted Susan, &#8220;Mr. Bryson appointed Audrey as our consultant lawyer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up the phone, Franco felt like he was in the snow of the Antarctic.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t go to the law firm, and she couldn&#8217;t be reached. It was all screwed.<\/p>\n<p>A hoarse male voice came from the side.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was terribly astonished.<\/p>\n<p>Why did she hear Bryson&#8217;s voice?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey turned her head sideways and saw the man standing beside her bed with a demonic handsome face looking at her with concern.<\/p>\n<p>Who else could it be except for Bryson?<\/p>\n<p>Could it be that she missed Bryson so much that it was just her hallucination?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked at him and stammered, &#8220;You &#8230; why are you at my house?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If so, this should be her bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>How did he get in?<\/p>\n<p>Bryson looked at her in a poker face, who knew what he was thinking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have a fever, didn&#8217;t you know about it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Only then did Audrey notice that she was on the infusions. It should be normal saline because she felt a slightly cool liquid flowing in her blood.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Bryson&#8217;s gloomy face, Audrey shrunk her head into the blanket guiltily.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, I caught a cold yesterday, but I took some medicine before I went to bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson, &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson picked up a box of medicine on the table and asked her with narrowed eyes, &#8220;Are you talking about this box of expired medicine?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh? Is it expired?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that Bryson became even more rigorous, Audrey shrank her neck again.<\/p>\n<p>She bought that box of medicine when she was abroad, and it had been there for some time.<\/p>\n<p>Not really, it had been there for nearly a year, because she hadn&#8217;t catch a cold for a year. Who knew that the night before yesterday &#8230; she caught a cold as she was extremely sad.<\/p>\n<p>It became awkward for a while, and Audrey&#8217;s chaotic mind became clearer.<\/p>\n<p>When she came back to normal, somehow she felt that something was wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3417","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3417","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=3417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
