The next morning.
The Cordova Tower. President's Office.
Franco entered Bryson's office with a dozen documents.
When he got in, Franco had always been cautious, because ... everyone in the company knew that Mr. Bryson had been in a bad mood these past two days.
After almost a day of meetings yesterday, he called the entire group's top executives over to scold them.
They knew how it suffered for sure, and didn't want to experience it again.
This morning, Bryson went mad again. Everyone who entered his office was scolded.
Everyone who came out of the president's office was so much frightened, no wonder Franco would feel so panicked.
Who knew what happened to Mr. Bryson these days. Could it be early menopause?
However, Franco was Bryson's secretary, so he had to send in some documents.
Franco carefully placed them on Bryson's desk.
"Mr. Bryson, here are the documents you need to sign. I'll come and get them when you are done!"
After saying that, Franco turned around to leave.
Before Franco could leave, Bryson called him coldly.
"Stop."
Franco turned around again and looked at Bryson emotionlessly.
"Mr. Bryson ... anything wrong?" He trembled with fear.
Bryson looked at him in a poker face.
"Where are the documents about the consulting law firm last time?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Franco replied quickly, "Because you haven't decided which law firm to choose, the documents have been on my desk."
"Square Law Firm then!" Bryson said coldly, "Call Square Law Firm right now to send someone over this morning."
"Yes!"
Square Law Firm? When hearing it, Franco immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out to have something to do with Audrey.
Yesterday, Melvin told him that Bryson and Audrey had met in Pine City, and they had been out dating all day.
Bryson should be very happy after dating Audrey.
Not only was Bryson upset today, he had also become exceptionally irritable.
It seemed that Bryson had quarreled with Audrey.
Otherwise, Bryson would not have suddenly become so irritable.
After hearing out his words, Franco went out to call Square Law Firm right away.
Freddy's secretary Susan answered the phone.
"Hello, Square Law Firm here. How can I help you?"
Franco: "Hello, I'm from the Cordova Group, Mr. Bryson's secretary, Franco Blackwell."
Susan asked in surprise, "What, are you from the Cordova Group?"
Franco said, "Yes, Mr. Bryson has just decided to work with your firm. May I ask ...?"
Before he could finish his words, Susan interrupted him in excitement.
"What did you say? Is it true that you will cooperate with us?"
Franco said, "..."
"Please calm down. Could I speak to Audrey in your firm, please?"
"Audrey? She didn't come today."
"She didn't come?"
"Yes, a client came here this morning for Audrey, but we didn't get through to her." Susan said in a hurry, "We have many other competent lawyers, or I could notify the others..."
"You don't have to!" Franco interrupted Susan, "Mr. Bryson appointed Audrey as our consultant lawyer."
After hanging up the phone, Franco felt like he was in the snow of the Antarctic.
Audrey didn't go to the law firm, and she couldn't be reached. It was all screwed.
Franco then entered Bryson's office.
"Mr. Bryson!"
Bryson raised his head and looked at him coldly, which sent a chill down Franco's spine.
Then Franco said, "Mr. Bryson, I just called Square Law Firm. They said Ms. Audrey didn't go to work today, and they couldn't get through to her."
Bryson was stunned, he took out his phone right away and dialed Audrey's number.
Just as he called, he was told that Audrey's phone was powered off.
Bryson got disappointed.
Could it be that Lance came to Peace City from Pine City?
However, he didn't hear that Lance had left Pine City.
As if he had thought of something, Bryson got up to leave right away.
Franco, "Well, Mr. Bryson, there's a meeting right away. Where are you going?"
"Cancel it!"
After saying that, Bryson disappeared from the entrance.
Franco, "..."
Well, he felt so exhausted to have such a capricious president.
...
City Garden Neighborhood
When Audrey woke up, she felt that her long-lasting headache was much improved.
The sunlight shone down on the window, a gentle breeze came by, and the wind-bells hanging from her window swayed with a crisp sound.
When she looked out of the window, she saw the crystal blue sky.
It was a beautiful morning.
Something was wrong, she used to sleeping with curtained windows at night. Why was the window open when she woke up?
She was about to touch her own head when a hand suddenly pressed down her hand.
"Don't move!"
A hoarse male voice came from the side.
Audrey was terribly astonished.
Why did she hear Bryson's voice?
Audrey turned her head sideways and saw the man standing beside her bed with a demonic handsome face looking at her with concern.
Who else could it be except for Bryson?
Could it be that she missed Bryson so much that it was just her hallucination?
Audrey looked at him and stammered, "You ... why are you at my house?"
If so, this should be her bedroom.
How did he get in?
Bryson looked at her in a poker face, who knew what he was thinking.
"You have a fever, didn't you know about it?"
Only then did Audrey notice that she was on the infusions. It should be normal saline because she felt a slightly cool liquid flowing in her blood.
Looking at Bryson's gloomy face, Audrey shrunk her head into the blanket guiltily.
"Well, I caught a cold yesterday, but I took some medicine before I went to bed."
Bryson, "..."
Bryson picked up a box of medicine on the table and asked her with narrowed eyes, "Are you talking about this box of expired medicine?"
"Oh? Is it expired?"
Seeing that Bryson became even more rigorous, Audrey shrank her neck again.
She bought that box of medicine when she was abroad, and it had been there for some time.
Not really, it had been there for nearly a year, because she hadn't catch a cold for a year. Who knew that the night before yesterday ... she caught a cold as she was extremely sad.
It became awkward for a while, and Audrey's chaotic mind became clearer.
When she came back to normal, somehow she felt that something was wrong.
