Chapter 36
Nell's voice was very loud. She didn't care if someone was near Audrey and could hear her when she spoke.
Audrey could feel that the X-ray-like gazes behind her could pierce through her.
She wished she could immediately cover Nell's mouth.
Audrey lowered her voice as much as possible and said, "Nell, the relationship between us is not what you think. We... we won't be together."
"Why?"
"Well..." Audrey explained in a low voice, "that's the way it is!"
Nell who was excited before lowered her voice and was depressed instantly.
"So, you two have nothing to do with each other now?"
She finally understood.
"Yes!" Audrey nodded, "we are just friends now."
Nell said unwillingly, "But he is Bryson. How many women in Peace City admire him and want to become his woman? Why didn't you pursue him? As the saying goes, that a man chases a woman is as difficult as mount a mountain, but that a woman chases a man is as easy as cut a veil. As I observed yesterday, Bryson is interested in you. As long as you show your charm before him, he will be yours."
Audrey, "..."
Nell said something crazier and crazier.
Moreover, she didn't control her voice at all. Bryson would hear all that she said.
"Alright, Nell, I'm busy, and I gotta go."
"No, listen to me..."
Being afraid that Nell would say something shocking, Audrey quickly hung up the phone.
Then Audrey heaved a long sigh of relief.
Finally, she'd done with her call.
Audrey had just turned around when she suddenly saw Bryson's staring at her. It was as if an invisible hand had instantly grabbed onto her heart, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Mr.... Mr. Bryson, why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"You can take your friend's suggestion," Bryson said as he looked into her eyes.
Audrey, "..."
Not long after, they arrived at the Square Law Firm. Audrey couldn't wait to get out of the car and escape from Bryson's sight at a high speed.
Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the office.
Great!
She just entered the law firm when her phone rang again.
It was a message from Nell.
Audrey took out her phone and read the message. Seeing the content, Audrey instantly wanted to get to and strangle Nell to death.
Nell: Last night, when we were at KTV, that Don called me and asked for your phone number and the address of the law firm. I thought he was good and I gave him. If he went to you today, don't be surprised..."
Audrey was furious at Nell. She sent her many emojis to show her anger, but Nell didn't reply to her.
However, Audrey only met that Don once last night. Would Don come to the law firm?
...
Audrey forgot about Don while she was busy with her work for the whole noon.
Just as she was about to leave work in the noon, Audrey suddenly heard her colleagues discussing her again and again.
She raised her head in surprise. Across the front desk, Audrey's pupils suddenly tightened because she saw Don.
Don, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, stood with a red wool box in his hand, his eyes scanning the office cubicles.
Don looked at Audrey happily.
"Hi, Ms. Audrey!"
Audrey, "..."
Don went straight through the cubicles and walked over to Audrey.
Audrey nervously looked at the wool box in Don's hand as if she was facing a great enemy.
It wouldn't be what she thinks, right?
"Mr. Hall, why are you..."
"I didn't know you were a lawyer here before. I only knew it from Ms. Nell." Don looked nervously at Audrey, his hands tightly gripping the wool box.
Suddenly, Don knelt on one knee in front of Audrey.
Audrey was shocked.
Don opened the box in his hand. Inside was a diamond ring. Don looked at Audrey affectionately, "Ms. Audrey, you may feel I'm very rude, but I have fallen in love with you since I met you yesterday. You already know me. Although I am not rich or powerful, I will work hard to ensure you a peaceful life for the rest of my life. So, Ms. Audrey, please marry me!"
Audrey, "..."
What she was worried about happened.
Lately, Audrey suffered more entanglements with men. She considered praying for a peaceful life.
Several lawyers started discussing.
"This angel Koch is so charming. Two days ago, a man who drove a limited-edition sports car sent flowers to her. Today, another one came to propose marriage to her."
"Indeed. Alas, why hasn't anyone sent flowers or proposed to me?"
"Forget it. Unless you are as beautiful as angel Koch."
People around also began to tease Audrey.
"Audrey Koch, he's so infatuated with you. Just say 'Yes' to him."
"Exactly, say 'Yes!'"
"Say 'Yes'!"
Audrey, "..."
Looking at Don who was affectionate, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Hall, I'm sorry," Audrey refused, "I don't have any plans to get married recently."
Don immediately said, "If you don't for the time being, it's fine. Let's be boyfriend and girlfriend first. We can get married when you are willing to."
Audrey, "..."
'Why are you so stubborn?'
"Mr. Hall! Let's put it this way, I don't like you and I don't want to be with you," Audrey said slowly.
Don, "..."
Don wanted to say something, but his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is Don."
"What? I'm fired? Why?"
After Don hung up the phone, his face turned a little pale.
He looked at Audrey in panic, "Ms. Audrey, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with, so I have to go."
Audrey, "..."
Why was it so coincidental? Don just began to propose to her, then he was fired.
However, Don was unlucky enough to be rejected by her and dismissed by the company either.
...
The divorce case between Zachery and Blair started in early May.
Zachery became an online celebrity after winning the lawsuit between him and the Four Seasons Group. Blair was nominated for the best supporting actress at the Golden Television Awards last time. The divorce case between them was spread for some reason. Afterward, they started a series of fierce online battles, causing heated discussions among netizens. And the case between them became a trending topic.
Zachery had no proof to blame Blair, so, netizens almost unilaterally scolded him and supported him to divorce with no family property.
On the morning before their trial was started, a lot of onlookers and news media gathered outside the Peace City Intermediate People's Court.
