Chapter 92
To Audrey, Freddy's answer was to be expected.
Square Law Firm and the law firm opposite its building were sworn enemies. They opened at pretty much the same time, and it was inevitable that they would compete with each other. They often fought over a client.
If Freddy was able to make Square Law Firm the consultant of the Cordova Group, he would definitely surpass the other firm. Therefore, Freddy would not hesitate to make it true at any cost.
Moreover, Bryson did not ask his law firm to continue to lower its price and he even increased it by 10%. Of course, Freddy would like to accept that.
Audrey hung up the phone with a determined look on her face.
"Mr. Steele has agreed. I will sign this contract!"
Bryson and Audrey signed their names at the end of the contract.
Looking at the names next to each other, Audrey felt like they had been filling out a marriage application.
She shook her head.
What was she thinking?
After signing her name, Audrey held out her hand as usual.
"Mr. Bryson, happy to work with you."
Just as Audrey reached out her hand, she regretted it and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
Before Audrey could withdraw her hand, Bryson grabbed her hand, and pulled her toward him.
Audrey was surprised when she was pulled into Bryson's embrace. Her nose hit his chest and she groaned in pain.
Bryson did not have the slightest bit of guilt on his face. "Sorry for that."
Audrey didn't know what to say.
He was not sorry! He did it on purpose.
After Audrey steadied herself, she wore an expression of apprehension on her face. "It doesn't matter. Mr. Bryson, just be careful next time."
"I just have no control of my strength sometimes..."
Audrey was silent.
What a shameless man!
Bryson looked at her with a smile and changed the topic. "Last night, Grandma asked when you would go back home."
Go back home?
These words touched Audrey's heart.
She used to have a home too, but the home that she had stayed at for eighteen years was no longer her home. As for the Cordova's... NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
She was no relatives to Bryson. It was because of Madame Cordova that she got to know Bryson.
Thinking of Madame Cordova, Audrey felt warm.
Square Law Firm was going to work together with the Cordova Group, so she and Bryson would often meet. She shouldn't keep a distance from Madame Cordova and Bryson now.
She thought for a moment.
"I have a case to attend tomorrow. I'm a little busy lately. At this weekend, I'll go see Grandma."
"Alright."
After signing the contract with Bryson, Audrey picked up her bag and stood up.
"Mr. Bryson, I'll..."
Before Audrey could finish her sentence, Bryson's office door was pushed open.
A middle-aged man walked in, followed by a man in a suit.
"Bryson, this is Mr. Russell, a lawyer from Russell Law Firm. I mentioned him to you last time. Let Mr. Russell be the Cordova Group's consultant lawyer."
Audrey once saw the man, who just came in, in the Cordova Group's Culture Magazine.
He was Bryson's second grandfather's son, Elvis.
Audrey also knew some of Russell, a lawyer from Russell Law Firm.
Russell Law Firm was famous in Peace City. Russell had won a few big cases and was one of the most popular lawyers in Peace City.
If Audrey remembered correctly, Russell was Elvis's brother-in-law.
Bryson gave an indifferent glance at Elvis and then turned around and sat down on the chair behind his desk. As he placed the pen in his pen container, he spoke.
"Mr. Elvis, there's a rule in the company. Everyone needs to knock on the door before entering President's Office. Mr. Elvis, remember to knock on the door the next time you come in. I don't like to remind you of it a third time."
The crisp sound of the pen falling into the pen container was as if it had struck Elvis's heart.
The expression on Elvis's face changed a little.
He coughed lightly.
"Bryson, I just..."
Just as Elvis said a few words, he was interrupted by Bryson's cold voice. "Mr. Elvis, in the company, please call me Mr. Bryson."
Elvis's mouth twitched slightly, but he could only suppress his anger and respectfully called Bryson, "Mr. Bryson."
"What's up?" Bryson did not raise his head.
Elvis looked at Russell who was standing beside him and said, "This is Mr. Russell, a lawyer from Russell Law Firm."
With that, Elvis gave Russell a look.
Russell immediately took a step forward and introduced himself with a smile, "Mr. Bryson, I am Russell Miller, from Russell Law Firm. I heard that the position of the consultant lawyer in the Cordova Group is
still vacant. I have worked with several large companies before. I believe that I have the ability to be qualified for the consultant lawyer position of the Cordova Group."
Bryson glanced at him indifferently. "No need. The Cordova's Group has its consultant lawyer now."
Elvis frowned, "Bryson, when did our company get a consultant lawyer? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Mr. Elvis, do I need to report to you on the designation of a consultant lawyer?"
Elvis suddenly felt a fierce pressure above his head. He immediately lowered his head and explained.
"Mr. Bryson, I didn't mean that."
"You didn't mean that. Fine, then you can go out."
"Mr. Bryson, Mr. Russell is an authority in dealing economic contract disputes. If we hire Mr. Russell as our consultant lawyer, it will be of great help to our company." Elvis recommended Russell.
Bryson raised his head and looked at Elvis with anger in his eyes.
"Mr. Elvis, you are responsible for the Marketing Department. Hiring people is the responsibility of the Personnel Department. You are so concerned about the job of the Personnel Department. It seems that there is nobody in the Personnel Department and its job needs to be done by the Marketing Department."
Elvis could feel cold sweat trickling down his back.
He could tell that Bryson was indicating he had exceeded his duties. Of course he knew what he was doing.
"Mr. Bryson, I just feel that Mr. Russell is not bad, so I recommend him. I don't want to interfere in the affairs of the Personnel Department."
"Oh, really?"
"Of course!" Elvis raised his hand and touched the cold sweat on his forehead.
"The company's consultant lawyer has been decided. Mr. Elvis can rest assured."
"It's been decided?" Elvis frowned. He looked at Bryson and asked, "But it hasn't been decided yesterday. How could that it has been decided today? Mr. Bryson, are you joking?"
Bryson had a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. "Mr. Elvis, do you think I'm joking with you?"
Perhaps not.
Elvis continued to ask, "Mr. Bryson, who is the new lawyer?"
Audrey slowly stood up and smiled at Elvis.
"Hello, Mr. Elvis. I'm the new lawyer you're talking about."
