The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Chapter 160 Protecting Her in the Dark

When Lazarus noticed the indecisive look on Elias’ face, he said, “Sometimes, it’s better to retreat in order to progress, and the results will be better. Think it over

As the saying went, never hire someone you didn’t trust, and trust the person you hire. So, Elias made his decision. “Okay, I’ll leave it to you, but if things go south or there’s no more hope between me and my lady, then it will be the death of you.”

Lazarus laughed heartily. “You got it. Don’t you worry because that’s impossible. I can tell that the pretty lawyer is still in love with you. Unfortunately, you have hurt her so terribly that she doesn’t dare to return to your side so easily, scared that you’ll disappoint her again.”

Maybe she’s scared that she’ll be disappointed again, but what should I do so that she’ll trust me completely? Nonetheless, he could only place his hope in Lazarus’ hands now.

as well? Let’s go together. You look a little tipsy.”

“I’m fine. I can call a cab for myself and don’t want to be a third wheel.” She figured that she had already made herself very clear and she desperately hoped that they wouldn’t insist on leaving together with her because it was very awkward for the three of them to be in the same room together.

Amanda glanced around the room and saw no signs of Elias anywhere. Has he left already? she wondered. Maybe. He’s such a busy man, after all. Maybe he has other business meetings to attend.
