Audrey and Brisa looked at each other.
Audrey smiled at Brisa.
"Miss Easton, we meet again."
Brisa looked at Audrey in surprise, smiling. "Yeah, we meet again."
Audrey looked at the file in Brisa's hand. It was a contract and Party B was a listed company. "Miss Easton, looks like
you made another deal. Congratulations."
Brisa looked proud.
"Thank you, Ms. Audrey."
The elevator door opened. Audrey, Brisa, and Brisa's assistant walked in together.
Brisa's assistant looked adoringly at Audrey.
"Audrey, you are really amazing. I've been heard of you. You look much better in person!" Brisa's assistant praised.
Audrey was quite flattered.
"Thank you."
"Audrey, you are really amazing in court. My mother likes you very much. She knows you are the legal advisor of
our company, and she wonders if she can sit in on your trial."
Audrey looked at Brisa's assistant apologetically.
"The public platform chooses applicants to the trial, as it always does. Then applicants have to go through many
rounds of screening. It's not available to everybody. There's nothing I can do."
The assistant looked disappointed. "I see."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's okay."
Brisa glared at her assistant. The assistant was terrified and hid in the corner of the elevator, not daring to speak

Brisa smiled at Audrey. "Audrey, you don't have to feel sorry. It's not your fault. It's my assistant who has bothered
you."
"It's no bother."
The elevator reached Brisa's floor. Brisa nodded at Audrey and went out. Audrey's assistant followed her
tremulously.
Audrey continued to stay in the elevator going up.
As soon as Brisa arrived in the office, she looked darkly at her assistant behind her.
Seeing that Brisa's face fell, the assistant was puzzled.
Brisa was nice to her assistant before entering the building. But why did Brisa suddenly look grim when she came
out of the elevator?
"You're taking tomorrow off, aren't you?" Brisa asked coldly.
The assistant nodded. "Yes, my mother is going to the hospital for an operation tomorrow, and I'm going with her..."
Brisa gave her assistant a frosty look. "There will be a department meeting tomorrow. No one is to be absent."
The assistant paled.
"But my mom is going to have surgery tomorrow ... It took my mom a month to get this surgery scheduled. I'm
never sure when she is gonna get the next surgery!"
Brisa smiled. "I'm not keeping you from going. You can go, but ... if you miss the meeting tomorrow, you have to
hand in your notice to personnel the day after tomorrow!"
The assistant trembled violently and her eyes started to well tears. "But ... but, Miss Easton, you've given me leave
for tomorrow. How could you..."
"But now it occurs to me that we have a meeting tomorrow. That's it. It's up to you to decide what you do
tomorrow!"
With that, Brisa turned around and left.
The assistant watched Brisa walk away, trembling even more.
How could this be ... How could this be...
Miss Easton wasn't like this before. She was nice before. Why was Miss Easton so scary today?
As the assistant stood trembling, other employees came to her with concern.
"What happened?"
The assistant's tears rolled down her face as she told her colleagues that Brisa had refused her request for leave.
Colleagues were astounded.
"What? Miss Easton cannot do this to you."
"I wonder why Miss Easton suddenly..."
"You offended Miss Easton, didn't you?"
"I didn't. Miss Easton was nice before taking the elevator. I just complimented Angel in the elevator and Miss Easton
glared at me. I don't know why..."
The assistant's colleague was privy to the facts and patted the assistant on the shoulder sympathetically. "You are in
a jam. There's nothing I can do for you about this."
After all, Audrey was Bryson's girlfriend and Brisa wanted to steal Bryson away. The assistant praised Audrey in
front of Brisa, so of course, Brisa was mad.
Women were terribly jealous.
...
When Audrey arrived at the top floor, Bryson had gone to the meeting room. Audrey was waiting in the lounge.
About half an hour later, the meeting ended. Anthony and a few elders walked out of the meeting room angrily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnthony's face contorted ferociously.
Audrey saw that the meeting was over and stood up.
Anthony saw Audrey and stopped when he passed by her.
Audrey respectfully nodded at Anthony and greeted. "Hello, Mr. Cordova."
Anthony looked coldly at Audrey.
"You are quite lucky."
Audrey smiled. "Thank you."
"But I don't believe you will be that lucky forever!"
Audrey smiled and said, "Wait and see."
Anthony glared at Audrey before leaving with the elders behind him.
Audrey could tell from Anthony's attitude that the killer was sent by Anthony. Anthony did not hide the fact.
It looked like Anthony wouldn't let Audrey go, and Audrey was still gonna be in trouble.
After a while, Bryson came out of the meeting room. Audrey came to Bryson and then went to the office with him.
...
In front of the Cordova Group building.
Anthony and shareholders were about to leave the group building.
But someone suddenly called out, "Mr. Cordova, a moment, please!"
When Anthony heard this, he turned around in confusion.
And Anthony saw Brisa walking out of the building.
Anthony's face fell.
"You're on Bryson's side if I remember right. Is Bryson trying to humiliate me again?"
Brisa said with a cunning smile. "Of course not. Mr. Cordova, there's something I have to tell you. Mr. Cordova, may
I ... have a word?"
