A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 86

I followed behind Bruce and John, timidly entering the president's office.

"Nancy, is black coffee okay?" John asked.

I glanced at Bruce, who was taking off his jacket, before nodding.

Then, only Bruce and I remained in the vast president's office.

Bruce sat in front of his desk, clad in a black shirt, and his long fingers flipped through some documents with precision.

His serious face was now filled with concentration, and he seemed to pretend that I wasn't even there.

It was obvious that he was ignoring me.

But I didn't want to rush things either. Besides, I was there to ask for help, so I had to play the part.

So, I picked up a financial magazine from the coffee table and studied it.

But before I could even finish reading the content page, Bruce spoke, "You seem quite relaxed." As he spoke, his dark eyes remained fixed on the documents in front of him.

And although his tone was casual, it dripped with sarcasm.

To be precise, his tone had always been this mocking since my past two encounters with him.

I was already accustomed to it.

I closed the magazine and gently started, "Mr. Harold, I have something I want to explain to you."

Bruce didn't answer, and this usually meant that I could continue with the conversation.

"We were certainly in the wrong to contact Ms. Lane privately. However, we never thought of making things difficult for her." After a moment's pause, I continued, "Plus, the reason we contacted a lawyer was not to oppose you, but…"

Bruce suddenly interrupted me, "Was it not? The information I received was that you intentionally found a lawyer in charge of court cases."

Bruce emphasized on the word "intentionally."

Seeing his gloomy expression, I could only stoop even lower. "It was our fault."

Bruce glanced at me before scoffing. "Why did you come and look for me? Didn't you already have Mr. Irvin as your helper?"

I suddenly didn't know what to say when Douglas was brought up.

After all, Douglas was just looking out for me.
