The Lawyer’s Romance in Law
Chapter 241

Chapter 241 Encounter in the Elevator

At Northern No. 1, Amanda lounged on the couch and felt bored to the core. She did not want to return to Simon's law firm anymore, so it felt like she was wasting her life away.

"Amanda, aren't you planning to return to the firm?"

"Nah, I don't feel like going back." There were people she did not want to face anymore, and she could not either.

Suddenly, Selina suggested, "Amanda, I think you should start your own firm."

A spark of interest ignited within Amanda upon hearing this idea before she turned to her. "Start my own firm?"

I've thought about having my law firm before, but in the past few years, due to my lack of experience, I needed to fulfill the requirements to start my company. Running a firm would have brought in limited clients. But things are different now. Over the past few years, I've fought many impressive cases and gained some recognition. Maybe it is a suitable opportunity now.

"Yeah, I searched your name online yesterday and realized how successful you are now. You're famous and so capable. Why not start your own firm?" Selina encouraged her.

Amanda smiled. "You're right. I didn't have the courage before, but now I've grown. I can't work under someone my whole life."

Moreover, Elias wants to drive me and our child out of the country, which I refuse to do. I want to stay here and show him what I'm capable of.

"Yeah! Go for it! I believe in you!" Selina looked at the woman before her. Amanda was no longer the little follower she used to be in their childhood days; she had become a well-known and beautiful lawyer. Selina could not help but grin. After all these days, Amanda finally showed a gentle smile. It seemed like she had found a new direction in her life.

Suddenly, Amanda's phone rang, showing an unknown number. She answered the call.

"Hello? Miss Bailey? I'm from Winters Enterprise's Legal Department. We need you to come over for something. Can you make it?"

She initially wanted to refuse, but she remembered she was still the appointed legal advisor for Winters Enterprise. "Alright, give me a moment. I'll be there soon."

She maintained her professionalism, and it was only during work that she could forget all her worries.

Winters Enterprise.

Amanda changed into a professional suit and drove to the company. The sky was dimming, and she did not expect people to work overtime in the company. Is there an ongoing project?

She went to the Legal Department, where the department head personally received her. "Miss Bailey, please come to my office for a chat."

"Sure." She smiled and followed him into the office, where they talked for two hours. It had been a while since she last came, and lots of work had piled up. "Why wasn't I informed about all these pending contracts?" Since she was an external team member, she would only come to the company if someone had notified her to do so.

The department head smiled and said, "Mr. Winters himself instructed not to disturb you if there wasn't anything pivotal."

She felt speechless as she might as well quit this position if that was the case. Many people in the company seemed to have a big problem with her just receiving money without working. "Well, I better take my leave. Thank you for your hard work," she said.

"Okay. We thought getting along with you would be difficult; unexpectedly, you're easygoing. We wouldn't dare to call you without a valid reason. Not sure why Mr. Winters said that." The department head had a hidden meaning in his words, implying that she had been trying to use her privilege and that it was time for her to do some actual work.

Amanda's expression stiffened momentarily, and she awkwardly smiled. "Feel free to call me if you need anything. I'm at your service." She turned around and headed toward the elevator.

She was lost in her thoughts about the conversation with the head of the Legal Department.

Ding! The elevator's door opened. She entered without lifting her gaze and wondered why it was empty when it should have been crowded like usual.

Ding!

The elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor. Then, she heard Yacob's voice from outside the elevator. "Mr. Winters, Mr. Allegra invited you for dinner again tonight. Do you want to come up with an excuse to decline? I..."

His words came to a halt as he saw the person inside the elevator and was instantly dumbfounded. What's going on? Isn't this the president's exclusive elevator? Why is Miss Bailey inside?

At the same time, Elias remained motionless and stared intently at the person inside the elevator as if trying to see through her.

Amanda looked up and noticed the hesitation of the people outside the metal doors. She realized that Yacob and Elias were standing there. Why did fate have to play tricks on her like this? How could she coincidentally meet the sc*mbag in an elevator?

She maintained a cold expression and was about to press the button. "You can take another elevator. I'm in a hurry."

Before Elias could speak, Yacob pressed the button, preventing the doors from closing. "Miss Bailey, this is the president's exclusive elevator!"

She froze. The president's exclusive elevator? So, that's why no one dares to ride it? No wonder it's so empty.

"Oh, I'll take another one then." After saying that, she prepared to walk out, but to her surprise, Elias stepped into the elevator and cornered her.

She frowned. "What are you doing? Let me out. This is your exclusive elevator, right? It's all yours!"

"Forget it. I'm also in a hurry." The man pressed the button for the third-floor basement.

Seriously? How much time will I waste to walk out of the elevator? Why does this sc*mbag always have to create so much trouble?

Yacob stood silently by the side while watching the two of them. At times, he experienced deep frustration on behalf of his boss. Despite his enduring love for Amanda, Elias knew he could never be with her. He could only helplessly observe as she gradually fell in love with someone else.

The elevator ride lasted a few seconds, but it felt like a century. Ding!

Amanda was the first to leave, exuding impatience when the elevator door opened. Elias looked at her slender figure and followed suit while silently watching her back without saying a word.

It will be rare to have the opportunity to watch her like this. He knew this time he had pushed her completely toward Simon... with his own hands at that.

The woman did not even glance back and walked directly to her car. Then, as if something crossed her mind, she turned and looked at Elias. "Find someone else for the legal counsel position. I'm not suitable and wish to quit."

"Suit yourself." His attitude was cold, with no attempt to convince her to stay.

Suit me? Your colors are showing, sc*mbag!! You couldn't wait to give me your whole world while pursuing me, but I'm nothing more than someone you wish to avoid now that you're engaged to her!
