However, James had spoken. If she still said no, wouldn't this get in Bryson's face?
She coughed lightly.
"Mr. Walker, ask me anything if you like, please."
"Are you still single?"
Audrey nodded.
"Great!"
James put his hands on the table and continued with a smile, "Then, may I have the chance to be your boyfriend?"
Audrey remained silent.
What a frightening question!
The moment James asked, Audrey, felt as if the temperature in the room suddenly dropped below freezing point. Bryson's face was as cold as ice.
James saw Audrey's dumbfounded expression.
He continued with a smile, "Ms. Audrey, is it so difficult to answer my question?"
Audrey realized something and said, "Of course you cannot be my boyfriend!"
James looked frustrated.
"Well, I just know that I will be refused."
Audrey felt speechless.
Why would he ask if he knew the answer? Could it be that he was just kidding?
Audrey felt that the moment she refused James, the temperature in the room gradually rose.
She was simply frightened. James' words were like the bombshell that could ruin her.
James said again, "Then I wonder what type of man do you like?"
Audrey remained silent.
Could she not answer it?
Just as Audrey was struggling, Bryson spoke with the warning, "James."
James rubbed his nose and smiled, "Alright, I won't ask anymore."
George rubbed his arms in disgust.
He leaned his head to James and whispered, "James, she's a lawyer. Stay away from her."
James glanced at him, "Don't worry. I will never be abandoned by women!"
George didn't know what to say.
James was so confident.
Fortunately, the waiter came in.
Everyone focused on the dishes as soon as they were put on the table.
James and Bryson turned to talk about their cooperation.
George interrupted from time to time. As for Audrey, she didn't take part in them but silently ate the dishes.
Bryson, who was chatting with James, suddenly shouted at Audrey.
"Audrey!"
Hearing Bryson calling her, Audrey looked up in surprise.
"What's the matter?"
Bryson held a napkin and suddenly wiped Audrey's face, wiping off some chili stains.
"There's something on your face."
Audrey remained silent.
She could clearly feel that James and George were looking at her in a strange way.
Audrey awkwardly pulled out a napkin from the box nearby and wiped her face, "Thanks... thank you."
"You're welcome!"
That was too embarrassing. Bryson's action was intimate, which might mislead James and George.
"Forgot it. I should be more careful when eating lest Bryson did that again."
On the other side, Bryson, who had wiped Audrey's face, continued to chat with James. It seemed that his act to Audrey was very natural, and there was nothing wrong with it.
James asked Bryson in eye contact as they chatted.
Bryson gazed at Audrey for a while and nodded with certainty.
James sighed as he looked at Bryson.
Bryson, who had always been cold-hearted, looked much more caring than before.
Bryson, who had no interest in women and was extremely indifferent in the past, was indeed taking care of women in such a gentle manner. That was the power of love.
It seemed that Bryson wasn't interested in women in the past, not because he didn't like women, but he didn't meet the right person. Having encountered his soulmate, he would show great care and love to her. James felt overwhelmed by this affection.
Halfway through the meal, Audrey got up and went to the bathroom.
After Audrey left, George couldn't wait to ask Bryson, "What happened? You and Audrey are not couples, are you?"
Bryson glanced at him, "Although we are just friends, we will eventually have the relationship you have imagined!"
George was shocked.
"Bryson, I'm not going to damp your enthusiasm. You can't be with this lawyer, or you will regret it one day. Believe me!"
George tried his best to exhort Bryson.
James patted on George's shoulder.
"George, don't be so mean to all-female lawyers just because you were hurt by your ex-girlfriend who was exactly a lawyer. Don't act like the idiom 'once bitten twice shy'."
George shook off James' hand and said angrily, "Get out. I don't want to talk to you."
He then tried to persuade Bryson.
"Bryson, you must listen to me. Don't be with the lawyer. I'm your bro. I won't harm you."
Bryson glanced at George who tried his best to dissuade him and smiled faintly. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Of course I know you won't harm me."
George relieved, "That's good. We're good friends. How could I harm you? So, you won't be with that female lawyer, right?"
"It's really hard to obey!"
George had nothing to say.
James laughed and patted George on the shoulder.
"George, don't persuade him. No one can stop him if he wants to do something."
"No, Bryson, I'm serious. The legal field is full of single people. They are cold-blooded and heartless. Moreover, Ms. Audrey is not a simple person at first glance..."
Just as George was saying, Audrey opened the door and heard all of George's words.
George didn't notice that Audrey had returned, so he continued.
"In my opinion, Ms. Audrey is definitely the queen of those singles."
Audrey curled her lips with dissatisfaction.
She narrowed her eyes and walked towards George's back.
"Not only is the queen cold-blooded, but she is also ruthless. She will suck everything out of you!"
This was exactly what George thought.
George nodded fiercely, "Right, she is just ruthless ..."
George suddenly felt something wrong while speaking. He could only feel a gust of cold wind behind his ears.
Turning around, he saw Audrey smiling at him with two rows of white teeth.
