The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Secretly Rejoicing

Amanda's instinctively feet started to take her toward the conference room for higher management, but the task she had at hand now was to take over the job from the legal department of the company. So, she stopped in her tracks and walked toward the legal department after contemplation, thinking that she was being utterly ridiculous. Why should I care what my ex-husband's first love looks like? What has that got to do with me?

…

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Elias sat at the end of a long desk, listening to the reports from various departments as Natasha stood next to him.

He still couldn't figure out what Natasha was doing here, and neither did he know what Lazarus was up to. He also said that there's going to be a grand show today, but where is it? Why haven't I seen anything of the sort?

Just like that, the two-hour meeting ended, and Elias left the conference room while Natasha followed closely behind, going wherever he went and as annoying as a fly.

Elias whisked out his phone and called Lazarus as he hissed in annoyance, "Is this your so-called grand show? All you did was get a woman to follow around me like a fly! Do you have tofu for brains?"

Behind him, Natasha felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, but she continued to follow him closely.

From the other end, Lazarus answered nonchalantly, "Have some patience. It's happening soon. Did you just finish your meeting? I think Amanda will either be waiting for you in your office or run into you when you're on your way back to your office."

"When did you become a fortune-teller?" He had a look of indifference on his face as he thought, Did this guy start fortune-telling? He's making guesses and predictions all the time.

However, at the next corner, he caught sight of Amanda standing in front of the elevators, not knowing whether she was leaving or going to his office. Lazarus' guess is actually correct.

On the phone, Lazarus continued blabbing, "Just wait and see if you don't believe me. I've been playing the field for years and know how a woman's heart works. I'm telling you—"

Unfortunately, Elias only had his eyes on Amanda as he abruptly ended the call. "Shut up. I see her now."

At that moment, Amanda was waiting for the elevators. When she raised her head, she saw Elias walking toward her, a coincidence she wasn't expecting. She wanted to look for him at his office to discuss work. In the meantime, she could also check out what his first love looked like, fulfilling her selfish curiosity.

Almost immediately, she saw the tall woman behind Elias. She was wearing a set of black office attire, revealing a pair of beautiful, long legs. Her features were deep-set and petite, and she carried an air of elegance with her. Frankly, she didn't seem like a simple secretary at all.

Amanda's instincts as a woman told her that this woman was Elias' so-called first love. Nevertheless, she kept chanting to herself to focus on work as she watched Elias approach and greet her.

"Are you done with taking over the job?" he asked, standing next to her and waiting for the elevator.

She nodded. "Yeah, I wanted to discuss the work with you in your office when I ran into you here. What a coincidence…" Her eyes couldn't help but dart toward Natasha behind him, and Natasha smiled and gave her a nod.

"Okay, let's talk in my office, then." Of course, Elias had also noticed that she was looking at Natasha behind himself.

"Mr. Winters, there's another meeting in an hour," Natasha announced suddenly.
