The Lawyer’s Romance in Law

Amanda hadn’t visited just to speak to Symeon but also to search for the bid proposal he might have hidden in his study.

“Why did you wait for me in the study then? You could have waited in the living room,” Symeon said as he sat down at the desk, observing Amanda across from him. Her cheeks were flushed, seemingly from the heat.
