A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 213

After making the call to Maria, Audrey was about to work. Brenda Mayer, who was close to Audrey, leaned over to talk to her.

"Audrey, have you heard the news?"

Audrey looked at her in confusion. "What is it?"

"Mr. Steele hired a big shot lawyer. The guy will join us today!" Brenda said.

"Really?" Audrey tilted her head and asked with interest. "A big shot lawyer? What is his name?"

"His name is Deegan Ayala! He is very famous!"

Hearing the name, Audrey raised her eyebrows.

Deegan!

Audrey was no stranger to this name.

The two of them had known each other for a long time.

Deegan was her opponent the first time Audrey appeared in court as a lawyer. At that time, she was for the defense while Deegan was for the plaintiff. Deegan was ten years older than Audrey. Before the court session, he vowed to win against her and even derided her as a wet-behind-the-ears girl.

As a result, Audrey established the invalidity of the claim with solid evidence and revealed the true colors of the plaintiff. She finally won the trial for the defendant beautifully.

Deegan was extremely angry at that time. Later, the two of them met again in court. Deegan plotted against Audrey to humiliate her in public. However, Audrey revealed Deegan's misdeeds in court, so Deegan was expelled from the bar in Country M.

Unexpectedly, after Deegan left Country M, he went back home, deceived people and won the name of a "big shot lawyer".

Now, Deegan was to work for the firm Audrey was in. Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.

Just as Audrey was thinking, a man walked into the office. He looked gentle and refined, dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

Freddy saw him coming from afar. So Freddy walked out of the office, passing through the cubicle to welcome him.

"Deegan, you're here!"

"Hello, Mr. Steele!" Deegan nodded politely. However, his eyes betrayed his perfect confidence.

Freddy held Deegan's hand. "You are a huge plus for the firm!"

"I am flattered."

"By the way, it's your first day at work. I'll introduce you to other lawyers!"

"Sure!"

Freddy took Deegan to see the other lawyers one by one. Deegan shook hands with others, but his arrogant attitude made everyone uncomfortable.

Then Freddy arrived in front of Audrey with Deegan.

Before Freddy could say something, Audrey spoke with a faint smile.

"Deegan, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Deegan's smile froze when he saw Audrey. His eyes widened as he stared at Audrey in disbelief.

"Audrey ... Why are you here?"

Audrey ... She was simply Deegan's nightmare. He had not been able to get rid of her for the past two years. He never expected that he would meet her again at the Square Law Firm. What a tragedy!

Freddy looked at the two of them in surprise.

"What? You two ... know each other?"

Audrey smiled and said, "Of course. When Deegan and I were overseas..."

Deegan's face paled, and his eyes were fixed on Audrey. Deegan was afraid that Audrey would say something she shouldn't, so he immediately said, "We met once overseas when we both participated in a seminar related to the law."

After saying that, Deegan glared at Audrey to stop her from saying anything adverse to his reputation.

Audrey gave him a smile full of meaning.

Freddy laughed and said, "I see. I didn't expect you to have such kind of link. It seems that the two of you are on good terms. The seat in front of Audrey is now empty. Deegan may just sit in front of Audrey!"

" ... Alright!"

Audrey stood up and stretched out her hand warmly.

"Deegan, welcome to our firm. And we are neighbors."

The corner of Deegan's mouth twitched. He reached out to shake hands with Audrey.

The moment his hand was held, Deegan felt as if his hand was caught by a blender. It hurt so much that he screamed and quickly withdrew his hand. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"My hand!" Deegan scowled at Audrey. "You've gone too far. You..."

Audrey was wearing a frightened expression on her face. She retreated a little and looked at Deegan in horror. "Deegan, what's wrong? What did I do?"

Deegan was speechless.

Seeing the questioning gazes all around him, Deegan felt a chill down his spine.

This was the feeling!

Every time he met Audrey, Deegan would feel the world looking at him with disdain.

When Audrey was shaking hands with Deegan just now, she squeezed his hand so hard on purpose that he felt his hand was about to be crushed.

However, Audrey acted as if nothing had happened, while Deegan was the one to be questioned by the others in the office.

Audrey was simply a terrifying woman.

Deegan suddenly regretted having chosen to work for the Square Law Firm.

'If I had known Audrey was here, I would never come to her!' Deegan thought.

It was too late to regret now.

Deegan felt a faint pain in the back of his head at the thought of sitting in front of Audrey and being stared at by her every day.

...

Outside the bathroom.

As soon as Audrey came out of the bathroom, she saw a person standing by the sink with his legs crossed against the wall. He seemed to be waiting for someone.

Audrey washed her hands and wiped them with a tissue.

Seeing Audrey was out, Deegan immediately went over to her.

"Audrey, leave the Square Law Firm!" Deegan looked at Audrey and spoke.

Audrey looked at him with a faint smile. "Deegan, that's impossible. First come, first served. I am the one who came to the firm first. So you should be the one to leave, right?"

"You!" Deegan was speechless.

"Deegan, you'd better focus your attention on the cases. Don't lose the lawsuit and ruin your reputation!"

Then Audrey patted Deegan on the shoulder while walking past him.

Deegan cried out in pain from his shoulder because of the pat.

"It hurts!"

Audrey immediately drew back her hand with a surprised look. "I'm really sorry. I was patting too hard. I'll pay attention next time!"

Deegan had nothing to say...
