At noon, Deegan waited for Audrey earlier in the restaurant that Audrey had told him.
Audrey was ten minutes late for the appointment.
Seeing Audrey, Deegan revealed a proud smile on his face.
He sized Audrey's good figure up and down, in a dirty way, and his eyes fell on her face.
He found Audrey's face was really impeccable. If she became his girlfriend, he would feel proud when he brought
her to see his friends.
He stared at Audrey's face until she sat down.
After Audrey sat down, she placed her bag next to her.
"Sorry, a client just called and asked me to find a piece of information. So I was late."
Deegan was not angry at all but smiled, "It's fine. I understand."
"Thank you." Audrey looked to the side.
Deegan thought that Audrey was hungry. He immediately called the waiter over.
The waiter walked to their table. "May I ask if you want to order now?"
Deegan smiled as he looked at Audrey. "Angel, what do you want to eat?"
"What? Order now?"
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Then let's order now!" Audrey took over the menu that the waiter handed over and ordered a few dishes. Then
she handed the menu to Deegan. "Deegan, do you need anything?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDeegan raised the corner of his eyes.
Some dishes Audrey had ordered were his favorites. She definitely had a thing for him!
Deegan only closed the menu with a smile.
"These dishes are enough," Deegan said.
Audrey frowned.
"Really? Perhaps you need to order more." Most of the dishes on the table were what she and Bryson liked. They
were enough for two people, but not three. That was why Audrey asked him to order.
Bryson called Audrey, telling him to have lunch together. Audrey told him about the lunch with Deegan. But Bryson
immediately said that he wanted to join them.
Audrey didn't think Deegan was bold enough to tell others about her relationship with Bryson.
Hearing Audrey's question, Deegan looked at her with a faint smile.
"Angel, since we have a tacit understanding, we don't need reluctant words."
Audrey blinked and looked at Deegan with a smile.
"So, you want to give me that case?"
"Case? What case?" Deegan did not react for a moment.
Audrey smiled and reminded him, "It's the case about Liam!"
"What?" Deegan looked at Audrey thoughtfully. "So we're having lunch here just for the case about Liam?"
"Yes!" Audrey did not hide her purpose. "The case I took over is coming to an end. All the evidence is very sufficient.
You just need to finish the procedure. The payment is almost the same as that from the case against Liam.
Moreover, it's almost finished, but the case against Liam has not started yet. It's a good deal for you."
The corners of Deegan's mouth curved into a shrewd smile.
"Since your case is about to end, why do you want to exchange with me?"
"I have my reasons. But I can not tell you now."
Deegan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip before putting it down. "Despite your words, Audrey, I will
never do something that takes advantage of others. If others know this, my reputation..."
"Don't worry, I demand so. So if someone says anything, I will directly clarify for you, Deegan. I will not let you have
any worries!"
Deegan looked thoughtfully at Audrey's sincere face, the corners of his mouth curling into a meaningful smile.
"Angel, I still want to know the reason," Deegan said with a smile.
Audrey frowned. "Sorry, it's a private reason."
"If you don't tell me..." Deegan smiled harmlessly. "Then I could only say no. If you do something bad with this case,
I'll become the culprit, right?"
Under the table, Audrey clenched her fists.
Damn it!
She had originally planned to capture Deegan and beat him up until he agreed.
But it was about violence. In addition, they were from the same law firm. So she didn't want to make him that

Audrey narrowed her eyes and stared at Deegan's shrewd face. "Deegan, what do you need me to do if I do want
this case?"
"Well, I have a condition. Of course, you have two choices. You can choose any one of them."
"What they are?"
"First one..." Deegan leisurely looked at Audrey. "You tell me the reason. Of course, I will make sure you are telling
the truth before transferring it to you."
Audrey's face darkened. "Then what is the other choice?"
"Unless ... you are my girlfriend!" Deegan replied seriously.
Audrey was shocked.
What did he just say?
Audrey blinked her beautiful eyes in disbelief. Then, she stared at the Deegan with a strange expression. "Deegan,
what did you just say?"
Deegan smiled and repeated what he had just said, "Audrey, you didn't hear wrong. You want me to unconditionally
give you the case. But why should I do that if you are only my colleague and even my competitor? But ... if you are
my girlfriend, it will be different.
"If you are my girlfriend, of course I will give this case to you without any condition!"
That was interesting! He was really a confident guy! Why did he think she would like him?
Audrey didn't want to agree to either of these conditions.
Audrey looked coldly at him. "Is there a third option?"
"No!" Deegan looked at Audrey with anticipation. "So tell me your decision."
At this time, a tall and straight figure walked into the restaurant.
Looking at that figure, Audrey smiled and said, "I don't want to choose any of them."
