The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 11 Close Call Inside the Conference Room

the recording he heard there. Did Amanda really return to get back with him and regain everything she lost? Putting his pen down, he instructed the secretary, “Make the arrangements. I’ll be sitting in during the negotiation.” “Got it, Mr. Winters.” The secretary was almost scared to death. She thought she had made a rookie mistake. Luckily, everything was fine, and she brought the documents Elias signed and quickly exited the president’s office. … In the high-level conference room. Amanda rushed all the way here and entered the conference to find the other party’s lawyer and the person in charge had already arrived. A taboo during legal negotiations was being late, but Amanda just happened to get stuck in a traffic jam on her way here and got delayed. After composing herself, she sat beside Helean and explained herself, “My apologies. I got caught in a traffic jam just now.” The opposing lawyer smiled without saying anything, indicating that it was fine. Helean whispered, “Let’s get started.

To be more precise, she became more beautiful. Back then, Amanda never wore any makeup and only wore tacky clothes. It was completely different from now. Elias withdrew his gaze and sat in an empty seat before saying, “Please continue. I’m just sitting in.” He was exuding a majestic aura, and the chair he was sitting in didn’t seem like a chair but a throne. His strong temperament felt suppressive to everyone present. Meanwhile, Amanda was a little out of it. How could she focus on her work with Elias sitting there? She wanted the floor to swallow her up, but she still forced herself to get into working mode.
