A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 52

Facing Bryson's burning gaze, Audrey felt her heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Bryson's gaze.

"Well, I suddenly feel a little sleepy. I'm going up to sleep!"

After saying that, Audrey got up and walked back, preparing to return upstairs.

"Audrey!" Bryson suddenly called her.

Instead of calling her Ms. Audrey, he called her name.

Something seemed to have taken root in her heart. It sprouted, and grew long vines that tightly wrapped around her heart.

This was the first time she felt that her name would sound so pleasant.

She paused and clenched her hands tightly without turning around.

She could sense that Bryson was still staring at her passionately.

As long as she turned around, she would be engulfed by his burning desire.

"Mr. Bryson, is there anything else you need?" She tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"Consider my suggestion just now!"

"What's your suggestion?"

"Audrey, you are smart. You know what I'm talking about!" Bryson said word by word, making her nervous.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It couldn't be what she thought, right?

Bryson....

Behind her, Bryson's gaze was sharp. Audrey did not have the courage to turn around and ask.

"I'm going up first!" After she hurriedly finished speaking, she fled from Bryson's line of sight.

Bryson held the wine glass in his hand and gently shook it. The wine in the glass swayed along with his movements, but not a single drop spilled out.

He gently raised his wine glass and placed it in front of him. A figure walking up the stairs in panic appeared on the wine surface. Soon, the figure disappeared from the wine glass.

With a meaningful smile, Bryson tilted his head back and gulped down the wine in the cup. Then, he stood up and left the bar.

...

In the next morning, Audrey made up an excuse that something emergent happened to the law firm. She asked the housekeeper to tell Kylee it and left before Kylee got up.

At the law firm, Audrey had been absent-minded on her chair all morning.

Although she had taken on a few more cases, they were all small ones. The evidence was in her hands, so she only needed to go through the procedures. There was no need for her to bother with them.

She kept thinking that Bryson was going to Pine City.

When she read the information, she felt that it was filled with the words "Pine City." When she looked at the computer, the computer screen was densely covered with "Pine City" as well.

She shook her head and got up to get water in the tearoom.

Just as she got out with water, she saw Freddy standing in the hall of the law firm, holding a document in his hand.

"Who is willing to take this case?"

After he finished, the entire law firm was completely silent, and no one answered.

Audrey, who had just gone to the tearoom, did not hear what Freddy was talking about. She silently walked back to her seat.

Suddenly someone in the office said, "Why don't you just leave it to Audrey?"

"Audrey just came to our company and won two big cases. She is famous now. I believe the Thomsons will definitely agree to hire Audrey as their attorney agent."

"That's right. Audrey is the most suitable one."

The others echoed.

Audrey had dealt with countless cases. Recently, she didn't have many cases in hands. She was the least busy one in the entire law firm.

"Audrey, this case...." Freddy looked at Audrey with expectation.

"Okay. I'll take it!" Audrey replied with a smile.

Freddy grinned happily.

"Well, Audrey, you are truly my helper. I'll leave this case to you."

"Alright!" Audrey nodded.

When Freddy handed over the case information to Audrey, the others in the law firm wear a gloating look.

Liana revealed a mocking face.

Many large companies didn't dare to accept this case, but Freddy did driven by the huge legal fees. Of course, other lawyers in the law firm didn't want to take this hot potato, but Audrey accepted it readily.

Audrey was too naïve. This time, she would definitely lose.

The higher up, the greater the fall.

After Audrey took the case file, she sat in front of the computer to sort out other cases, preparing to look at the case file she had just received in the afternoon.

Freddy walked up to Audrey with a smile.

"Audrey!"

Audrey looked up at him with a smile, "Mr. Steele, what's the matter?"

"I just called Luis Thomson. He heard that you took their case and agreed to let you be his defense lawyer."

"Alright."

"In addition, the client wants to see you this afternoon, so go home and pack your luggage at noon. Leave for Pine City in the afternoon!"

...

Audrey looked at Freddy in disbelief. "Mr. Steele, do you mean that you want me to go to Pine City?"

What a coincidence! She needed to go to Pine City for this case.

Bryson was going there for business this afternoon as well.

Freddy looked at Audrey nervously. "Audrey, are you going to go back on your word? Right now, our firm has taken this case. If you are, the firm will pay a large amount of liquidated damages."

Audrey hesitated.

She wanted to refuse, but seeing Freddy's anxious expression, she pondered for three seconds.

"Alright, I'll go to Pine City in the afternoon."

Hearing that Audrey agreed to go to Pine City, Freddy heaved a sigh of relief.

He said happily, "Good, good, good. You can go over this afternoon. During your business trip, all your necessities will be arranged by the client. Later, I'll give you the phone number of the client."

"Alright!"

Just as Freddy was about to leave, he suddenly turned around with a solemn expression, "Audrey, we'll reimburse your work-related travel expenses. It's best for you to keep invoices or receipts. Otherwise, the finance department will not approve them."

Freddy was stingy as usual.

Audrey raised her eyebrows slightly. "Alright!"

When Freddy left, Audrey frowned.

If she went to Pine City, she might encounter Bryson. If she met him, he would think that she purposely accepted the case from Pine City, right?

However, she did not intend to take it and did not specifically go to Pine City to see him.

Forget it. There was a way out. As long as she was not guilty, she was not afraid to face him.

...

Pine City.

The wisteria in Pine City was quite famous. Audrey arrived at the high-speed railway station in Pine City. The Thomsons had someone to pick her up. The car passed through the street. The wisteria on both sides of the street was in blossom.

The driver noticed that Audrey was amazed by the wisteria on both sides of the road.

He said, "Wisteria in Pine City is beautiful. It's not inferior to cherry blossom in Peace City, is it?"

Audrey smiled and didn't say anything.

Wisteria was gorgeous, standing for intoxicating love and deep longing for one's beloved. It was the flower of sorrow, for it lived and died for love.
