After finishing the matter, Bryson got up and walked towards where Audrey was sitting. He naturally sat on the armrest of the sofa beside her and looked down at her.
Bryson raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that she was reading the Cordova Group's internal staff manual and corporate culture magazine.
"You have read it for so long, how much do you know about our company?"
She looked up at Bryson.
Bryson said, "Take this as a test to see if you are qualified to be a consultant lawyer for the Cordova Group."
Audrey said seriously, "As far as I know, the Cordova Group is engaged in daily necessities, cosmetics, jewelry, electronics and e-commerce, and is the leading benchmark in all related industries. Besides the excellent product quality, the most important factor contributing to the continuous growth of the Cordova Group is the leadership of Mr. Bryson. It is you who have led the Cordova Group to a higher level. "
Audrey's flattery made Bryson very happy.
Looking at the curve of Bryson's mouth, Audrey knew that she was doing just right.
"Is that so?"
Audrey nodded incessantly.
"Of course, I never lie. Besides, you are the most popular bachelor in the entire Peace City. Do you know how many women dream of marrying you?" Audrey continued to flatter Bryson without hesitation.
She came here today with an order from Freddy. If she couldn't make a deal with Bryson, she would definitely have a hard time returning to the law firm.
So, no matter what, all she had to do today was to make Bryson happy and willing to sign a contract with her about the consulting law firm.
After Audrey finished, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Suddenly she realized what was wrong, Audrey was so regretted that she would like to slap herself in the face.
She really shouldn't bring this matter up.
Bryson stretched out his long arms and naturally rested on her back. He slightly bent down and leaned towards Audrey.
Audrey felt Bryson's breath spurting out above her head, and her entire body stiffened, not daring to move.
"How about you?" Bryson asked in a husky voice.
Audrey had nothing to say.
As expected, this question came up.
Audrey coughed lightly.
"Well... well, Mr. Bryson, I'm just a nobody. You're the president of the Cordova Group, please don't make fun of me."
"Can I take your words as an affirmation that you also like me, but you don't have the courage to express it?"
Audrey was surprised.
How could this work?
Audrey said, "Well, Mr. Bryson, I'm here today for business. Can we not confuse business with personal matters?"
Bryson said, "In my opinion, there is no clear distinction between business and private matters. Maybe, I happen to tell the truth, you don't dare to admit it. That's why you want to use this kind of saying to fool me."
Audrey was dumbfounded.
How could he be so accurate about her thought?
Audrey took out two copies of contracts.
"Mr. Bryson, this is the consultation contract drawn up by our law firm. If you have no objections, please sign it."
Bryson lowered his head and looked at the contract that Audrey had taken out. He picked it up and quickly read through it.
Seeing this, Audrey hastily said, "Mr. Bryson, don't worry. The contract drawn up by our company is very beneficial to the Cordova Group. You can rest assured of this."
Bryson didn't seem to hear what Audrey said and turned to the last page of the contract.
Suddenly, Bryson threw the contract on the table.
Audrey's heart skipped a beat.
Was there something wrong with the contract?
"Mr. Bryson, is there a problem with this contract?"
Bryson curled his lips.
"There's one problem."
Audrey picked up the contract in haste.
"What's wrong?"
Bryson said calmly, "When I decided to cooperate with Square Law Firm, it was not because its capability. Back then, among all the candidates, it could be said that Square Law Firm's capability was the weakest."
Audrey felt confused.
Then why did you chose Square Law Firm?
Audrey looked at Bryson without saying anything.
"Well, Mr. Bryson. Then why didn't you choose another law firm?"
Just as she finished, Audrey wished she could take her words back.
Why was she so reckless today? Choosing all the wrong words.
And Bryson's answer was definitely not what she wanted to hear.
The next second, she heard Bryson say, "Because you were in Square Law Firm, that's why I chose it. If you want me to sign a contract with Square Law Firm, the premise is that during the contract period
between Square Law Firm and the Cordova Group, the consultant lawyer must be you. Otherwise, the contract will be immediately terminated."
After that, Bryson took out two copies of contracts from his drawer.
"This is a new contract. If you accept it, sign it. If not, then you can leave."
Audrey quickly went through the contract. This contract did not differ much from that of Square Law Firm. The commission was 10% more than the amount proposed by Square Law Firm. However, there was only one additional requirement in the contract.
The Cordova Group's consultant lawyer was Audrey, and it could only be Audrey. Otherwise, the contract would be null and void.
Audrey was speechless.
Audrey looked at Bryson awkwardly.
"Mr. Bryson, I need to discuss with Mr. Steele about the new contract."
"Sure."
Audrey took out her phone and called Freddy.
Freddy picked up the call almost instantly.
Audrey was surprised.
Freddy was really looking forward to her phone call.
As soon as he picked up, Freddy asked, "How is it? Audrey, has the contract been signed?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Not yet!"
"Not yet? Why? Did you offend Mr. Bryson?" Freddy said in a lower voice. "Mr. Bryson is different from other customers after all. He is the richest man in Peace City, so it's reasonable for him to have a weird temper. You should be more obedient and say something nice."
Audrey paused.
"Well, Mr. Steele. Mr. Bryson plans to use the contract prepared by the Cordova Group instead of ours."
Freddy quickly interrupted Audrey, "How much is the consultant's commission?"
"It's ten percent higher than our company's offer."
Freddy asked incredulously, "Are you saying that the price offered by the Cordova Group is ten percent higher than what we offered?"
"Exactly."
"Sign! Sign it immediately!"
Audrey added, "Mr. Steele, Mr. Bryson said that there is one additional condition for signing this contract."
Freddy said, "No problem, as long as he is willing to sign, let alone one condition, even ten, I will agree!"
Audrey was speechless.
