She coughed lightly.
"Mr. Bryson, my clothes are so dirty now. We'd better keep some distance."
"I'm also going back to my room now!" Bryson still held Audrey's wrist. He extended his arm and pressed the button on the elevator behind her.
Audrey didn't know what to say or do.
"Mr. Bryson, our rooms aren't on the same floor, right?" Audrey said, trying to remind him.
Bryson glanced at her and did not say anything. He directly went in the elevator with her.
'Forget it. It's just taking the same elevator.'
But when she walked out of the elevator on the 16th floor, Bryson walked out, too.
Seeing Bryson follow her toward her room, Audrey was so awkward that she stopped.
"Mr. Bryson, I can go back to my room myself. You don't have to do this!" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
It was too much for her to take.
Bryson still didn't say anything.
Audrey was really confused.
She could only turn around, braced herself and walked towards her room.
When Audrey got to her room, she turned around, trying to say something. But she saw Bryson taking out the room card of Room 1633 opposite hers and opened the door.
Audrey was shocked.
'So, Bryson now lives opposite me?'
Seeing Audrey staring at him, Bryson raised his eyebrows and said, "What is it?"
"No ... nothing!"
She was embarrassed and hurriedly went into her room.
Bryson wasn't sending her back just now. He was actually heading back to his room.
'But there are only common double rooms on this floor. He is rich. Should he be staying in the Presidential Suite? Why would he live in a double room like her? It is incompatible with his status.'
'He is in the room opposite mine, so he will see everything I do.'
Although.... She wouldn't do anything.
But why did she feel being watched?
After Audrey finished bathing and changed her clothes, Luka, Luis's assistant, called her and asked her to meet him in the coffee shop opposite the hotel. Audrey took her bag and went out.
...
In the coffee shop opposite the Golden Hotel.
Audrey arrived at the designated room.
They had already arrived.
Two middle-aged men were waiting in the room, looking upset.
Audrey smiled at the two of them.
She then looked at the men, who seemed to be more dispirited.
"Mr. Luis, I am Audrey, a lawyer from Square Law Firm!"
Luis looked up at Audrey and couldn't help but frown.
"You are Audrey? The lawyer who has helped Zachery, the general manager of the QK Architects win two lawsuits?" Luis looked at Audrey doubtfully.
"It's me!" Audrey stood there looking confident and elegant when Luis sized her up.
She was familiar with Luis's expression. He distrusted her because she was too young.
"Have a sit!" Luis said faintly.
After Audrey sat down, she took out a dozen documents from her bag.
"Mr. Luis, on the way here, I've already sorted out all the information about your case!" Audrey said in a clear and orderly manner, "Mr. Kadin, the chairman of Blueprint Group, sued your Pine Pharmaceutical Company because his pet dog died after having the medicine for dogs developed by your company."
"I have studied this case. All the drugs developed by your company have certificates of conformity. As long as dogs are properly treated with such drugs, they wouldn't die."
Luis nodded and said, "Yes, all the drugs we developed have certificates of conformity. Besides, the surveillance footage in that pet hospital can prove there was no violation of any rules or overdose."
Audrey suddenly thought of something.
"It is possible that Kadin's dog have died from other illnesses. Have you get the forensic doctor to examine that dog?"
Luis and Luka looked at each other in shock.
Luka then looked at Audrey seriously and said, "Miss Audrey, we hire you because we want you to minimize the adverse impact on our company and reduce the amount of damages."
Audrey frowned.
'They are saying they do not intend to win the suit?'
"Alright, I understand!" Audrey nodded thoughtfully.
Then Luis and Luka shared some details of the case with Audrey. After that, Audrey left the coffee shop together with them.
...
After that, the three of them went separate ways.
It was getting late, so Audrey went straight to the elevator to go back to her room.
At the door of her room, Audrey subconsciously glanced at the door of the room behind her. Then, she quickly took out her room card, trying to enter her room immediately.
But she was a bit slow. The door behind her had already opened.
Before she had the time to put her hand on the handle, Bryson's voice came from behind her. "Get in!"
The words sent chills up Audrey's spine.
She turned around and looked at Bryson with an awkward smile, "Mr. Bryson, it's getting late. I'd better go back to my room."
Bryson looked at her meaningfully.
"Why? Afraid of me?"
Audrey was dumbfounded.
"No, of course not. I don't want to trouble you."
"Nonsense. I don't care. You surely don't have to."
Audrey decided to change the topic. "Sorry, Mr. Bryson, I'm a little sleepy. If you don't have anything to say, I'll go back to my room and rest."
"Your client is Luis from Pine Pharmaceutical Company?" Bryson asked coldly.
"How do you know?"
Bryson did not answer Audrey's question. Instead, he stared expressionlessly at her. "Do you know who the defendant of this case is?"
"Of course I know. Kadin, the chairman of the Blueprint Group!"
"Then do you know who is behind him?"
Audrey frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"Kadin's younger sister is Lance's wife!"
Audrey was shocked.
Looking at Audrey like this, Bryson became angry. "Many lawyers in Peace City refuse to take this case. You have been in Peace City for not very long. Have you investigated why they refused?"
Audrey said, "I'm just a lawyer. They wouldn't do anything to me, I think."
"You think?" Bryson was more annoyed. "Go back to Peace City immediately and tell your boss that you will not take this case!"
Audrey frowned and refused. "No, I have already accepted the case. I can't give it up."
Bryson stared fixedly at Audrey's face. He moved forward, and Audrey hurriedly retreated in fear. Her back was against the door behind her.
