Chapter 31
Chapter 31
After dinner, Audrey accompanied Kylee for a walk. And then, Kylee went to rest.
Audrey didn't take what Kylee said at dinner seriously.
Anyway, she wasn't Kylee's biological granddaughter, so Bryson wouldn't really arrange a blind date for her, would he?
Just as she was about to return to her room, Bryson suddenly stopped her at the door of the study.
"Ms. Audrey!"
Audrey glanced at Bryson and frowned.
"Mr. Bryson, what's up?"
"Come in."
"Alright."
Bryson stood by the door of the study room and made way for Audrey.
Audrey walked in without any doubt. As soon as Audrey entered the study, Bryson, who was standing at the door, suddenly closed the door and locked it.
Audrey was shocked. She wanted to turn around and walk out, but Bryson stood behind the door, so she could not go out.
The two of them were both single and stayed here alone....
Ever since she entered the study, she had felt oppressive and nervous.
Audrey took two steps back subconsciously.
Audrey frowned as she looked at Bryson, "Mr. Bryson, what can I do for you?"
Bryson stared at Audrey's face oppressively. "Do you want a blind date?"
A blind date? What a wrongful thought!
Audrey hurriedly explained, "Mr. Bryson, I don't want a blind date. It was Grandma who made the decision."
"Are you fond of someone like Simon?" The seriousness in Bryson's eyes did not fade.
Audrey had a premonition that if she said she liked Simon, the next second, Bryson would strangle Simon.
She shook her head subconsciously.
"How could that be? He is much younger than me. How could I like him?"
"If he were as old as you or older than you, would you like him?" Bryson asked.
"...."
What question was that?
Seeing that Audrey kept silent, Bryson put on a long face.
"If he were as old as you or older than you, would you like him?" Bryson asked again.
Audrey immediately denied. "No!"
"Why?"
Audrey felt a slight headache. "Mr. Bryson, I've already said that I don't want to date anyone now, so ... I don't like anyone."
Hearing Audrey's words, Bryson relaxed a little.
"So, you're not planning to go on a blind date?"
"Of course not!" Audrey nodded positively.
"Really?"
Audrey looked at him resignedly, "Mr. Bryson, I really don't intend to date anyone right now. How can I make you trust me?"
Bryson stared at Audrey with a deep gaze. The temperature in his eyes was so hot that it made Audrey's heart skip a beat.
Was he trying to say something?
However, Bryson just stared at her, without saying anything.
The pressure from him vanished in an instant.
"I'll take care of your blind date and talk to Grandma. Don't worry." Bryson said thoughtfully.
Audrey heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Bryson."
Bryson looked straight into Audrey's eyes and said meaningfully. "You don't have to thank me."
Audrey did not understand Bryson's words.
"Mr. Bryson, if there is nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest."
"OK, go."
Bryson moved aside so that Audrey could open the door.
Audrey almost couldn't wait to unlock the door.
"Wait!"
Before Audrey could leave, Bryson, who was standing behind her, said coldly.
"...."
"What else do you need, Mr. Bryson?" She asked cautiously.
Bryson slowly approached Audrey.
As Bryson approached, his aura instantly surrounded Audrey.
She froze there, and her legs seemed to have been filled with lead. She was so shocked that she couldn't move at all. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey could already hear Bryson's heartbeat.
Her mind went blank and she couldn't think for an instant.
Time seemed to stop at that time.
Bryson reached out and touched Audrey's head with his finger, removing a leaf.
He held the leaf with his slender fingers and showed it to Audrey.
"There's a leaf in your hair."
The green leave under the light looked lovely and tender, just like the person in front of him.
Bryson's hoarse voice evoked Audrey's rationality.
Seeing the leaf, Audrey hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you, Mr. Bryson. Then I'll go back to my room."
With that, Audrey ran back to her room and shut the door.
Looking at Audrey fleeing, Bryson put on a faint smile as he wantonly toyed with the leaf in his hand.
....
The next morning, when Audrey sat in Bryson's car, she scanned the news on her phone and did not look at Bryson. However, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere between them had changed.
Along the way, she didn't read much news on her phone.
When they arrived at her firm, Audrey quickly opened the door and was about to get out of the car, but her wrist was held by a strong hand.
Audrey stared at Bryson's hand stiffly, which was holding her wrist. His fingers were slightly cold, like a shackle tightly binding her.
"Mr. Bryson, what's up?"
"I have a party tonight. Go home by yourself."
"Alright." That was even better.
Bryson loosened Audrey's wrist and said. "Then you can go in."
Audrey couldn't wait to get out of the car and quickly escaped from Bryson's sight.
Audrey felt that she was becoming less and less like herself lately, running away a lot.
She came back for revenge, not to run away.
....
When Blair sat in the car, she called Wendy.
"Hey, Wendy, it's me, Blair."
"Which lawyer did you hire for me? Ah, it's Mr. Edward. Then it is surefire."
"Zachery actually dares to sue me for transferring property. I will leave him nothing."
"Alright, Wendy, if I win, I will give you two percent of the shares in the Stanton Group."
Blair hung up the phone and sneered.
She picked up her phone and made another call.
"Hey, darling, let's meet at our usual place tonight."
"Oh, don't worry. That matter has already been settled. Wendy helped me hire Mr. Edward, one of the top ten lawyers in Peace City. There's absolutely no problem."
"I'll see you tonight, dear. Let's celebrate."
....
In the law firm.
Audrey was inputing the data into the computer when her phone rang.
She took the phone and glanced at it.
It was a WeChat message from Nataly.
Nataly sent a picture of a reservation for a five-star hotel room for Jacob, Blair's old lover.
