If she became his girlfriend, he would feel proud when he brought her to see his friends.<\/p>\n<p>He stared at Audrey&#8217;s face until she sat down.<\/p>\n<p>After Audrey sat down, she placed her bag next to her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry, a client just called and asked me to find a piece of information. So I was late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deegan was not angry at all but smiled, &#8220;It&#8217;s fine. I understand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thank you.&#8221; Audrey looked to the side.<\/p>\n<p>Deegan thought that Audrey was hungry. He immediately called the waiter over.<\/p>\n<p>The waiter walked to their table. &#8220;May I ask if you want to order now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deegan smiled as he looked at Audrey. &#8220;Angel, what do you want to eat?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What? Order now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aren&#8217;t you hungry?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then let&#8217;s order now!&#8221; Audrey took over the menu that the waiter handed over and ordered a few dishes. Then she handed the menu to Deegan. &#8220;Deegan, do you need anything?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deegan raised the corner of his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Some dishes Audrey had ordered were his favorites. She definitely had a thing for him!<\/p>\n<p>Deegan only closed the menu with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These dishes are enough,&#8221; Deegan said.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey frowned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really? Perhaps you need to order more.&#8221; Most of the dishes on the table were what she and Bryson liked. They were enough for two people, but not three. That was why Audrey asked him to order.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson called Audrey, telling him to have lunch together. Audrey told him about the lunch with Deegan. But Bryson immediately said that he wanted to join them.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t think Deegan was bold enough to tell others about her relationship with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing Audrey&#8217;s question, Deegan looked at her with a faint smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Angel, since we have a tacit understanding, we don&#8217;t need reluctant words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey blinked and looked at Deegan with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, you want to give me that case?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Case? What case?&#8221; Deegan did not react for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and reminded him, &#8220;It&#8217;s the case about Liam!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What?&#8221; Deegan looked at Audrey thoughtfully. &#8220;So we&#8217;re having lunch here just for the case about Liam?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What they are?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First one&#8230;&#8221; Deegan leisurely looked at Audrey. &#8220;You tell me the reason. Of course, I will make sure you are telling the truth before transferring it to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s face darkened. &#8220;Then what is the other choice?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unless &#8230; you are my girlfriend!&#8221; Deegan replied seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was shocked.<\/p>\n<p>What did he just say?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey blinked her beautiful eyes in disbelief. Then, she stared at the Deegan with a strange expression. &#8220;Deegan, what did you just say?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Deegan smiled and repeated what he had just said, &#8220;Audrey, you didn&#8217;t hear wrong. You want me to unconditionally give you the case. But why should I do that if you are only my colleague and even my competitor? But &#8230; if you are my girlfriend, it will be different.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you are my girlfriend, of course I will give this case to you without any condition!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That was interesting! He was really a confident guy! Why did he think she would like him?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey didn&#8217;t want to agree to either of these conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked coldly at him. &#8220;Is there a third option?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No!&#8221; Deegan looked at Audrey with anticipation. &#8220;So tell me your decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this time, a tall and straight figure walked into the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at that figure, Audrey smiled and said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to choose any of them.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3753","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3753","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=3753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
