Chapter 83 

Zayne raised an eyebrow. “Why are you looking at me? II you think you should take it, then take it “ 

my duty post covering my legal 

Lawrence immediately waved his hands, righteously shaking hishead. “Ms. Schubert, I’m a lawyer. Doing my best for my client is my fees is more than enough.” 

Zayme added, “Honestly, this case was just an excuse to let him get some practice. Winning had nothing to do with us, really. You don’t need to feel guilty about keeping the money * 

But Enrica did feel guilty. She quickly insisted, “You two were the reason we won. I 

Before she could even finish, Lawrence cut her off, his expression noble and unwavering, “Ms. Schobert, from the moment I became a lawyer, 1 dedicated myself to justice. Are you going to taint my ideals with money? 

Enrica panicked. “That’s not what I meant…” 

Lawrence looked at her eamestly. Then please, don’t insult my dreams with a paycheck. Deal?” 

Enrica blinked, momentarily speechless, before nodding dazedly. 

Zayne ruble to watch any longer, tumed away and covered a cough, hiding the grin threatening

Enrica had always known that Lawrence was a newly licensed lawyer, but she hadn’t realized how deeply passionate he was about his profession.

She blinked. “Who paid for it?”

Enrica groaned and smacked her forehead. 

She had invited them to dinner, hoping to treat them and maybe even find a way to share some of the settlement money. Not only had they refused the money, but now Lawrence had paid for the meal, too. 

This was getting ridiculous. 

Around the comer, Miguel had just stepped out of a private dining room with his friends when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. 

At the front desk, a familiar figure caught his eye. “Enrica?” 

She turned at the sound of her name. The moment she saw Miguel, her smile disappeared. “Mr. Zucker, what a coincidence. Do you need something?”
