Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 5

As Peter approached, a trace of fragrance from Adriana rushed to his face.

It smelt so familiar to him. A shiver went down his spine as soon as he smelt it.

With Luis in his arms, he frowned and apologized, “Have we met before?”

He somehow felt like this lady must be familiar to him. They seemed to know each other.

However, he found it hard to remember any details.

Adriana squinted and smiled, “Mr. Alston, that’s the way you tryna flirt with a girl?”

She grabbed her Gucci clutch from the table and replied with a cold glimpse, “Don’t ever try to cheat on Theresa! If I notice something, you will pay the price!”

Then she left the ward.

What happened today really exhausted her. She returned to the hotel and soon fell asleep.

There would be more work expecting her tomorrow.

The weather appeared sunny in the next morning.

Inside the office of Hale Cobb Law Firm, Adriana was working on a pile of paperwork.

Suddenly, someone knocked the door.

“Ms. Hale, it’s Mr. Alston…” Vivian, her assistant, walked in to report.

Adriana raised her head and asked, “What is he doing here?”

She never deemed it pleasing to have a talk with this man.

She couldn’t help wondering what he was up for.

“Let him in.”

“Okay.” Vivian walked out of the office.

Peter then entered, followed by his assistant who was holding a portfolio.

He took a seat in a superior way.

“Ms. Hale, I am here to initiate a cooperation.” He uttered.

“A cooperation?” Adriana was a bit confused, “I don’t think my humble law firm could be capable enough to be part of the cooperation.”

“It’s a return for you saving my son last night. From now on, the Alston Group will sign a permanent contract with Hale Cobb Law Firm.”

Obviously, the Alston Group would permanently provide financial backup for the law firm regardless of any return.

“Mr. Alston, you must be kidding. My law firm only specializes in divorce or criminal cases. We aren’t expert of commercial lawsuits.”

Though it was a tempting contract, Peter would turn to be her superior as soon as she signed it.

She hated being inferior.

Besides, the awful impression of Peter greatly changed her idea—he didn’t seem that perfect as Theresa once told her.

So she simply fudged it with an excuse.

“Just take your time to learn.” Peter insisted coldly.

“But…”

“It was Theresa who suggested it. She is grateful to you for saving Luis. So she suggested I drop by and present you this offer.” Peter then gestured to his assistant.

The assistant walked over and put the contract on the table.
