The Lawyer’s Romance in Law novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Taking What One Needs

Elias always responded coldly regardless of what Jack said, leaving him helpless.

"Fine. I don't care about your matters, but you better handle your affairs properly. Please don't miss your date with Steph today." Jack finished speaking and stood up to leave. He was displeased with Elias but had to endure it since it had come to this point.

Otherwise, what will happen to the engagement banquet at the end of the month? My close friends in the circle are already aware of the planned union between the Allegra and Winters Families. However, most people don't know it yet. I'll become a laughingstock if it falls apart and the wedding is canceled.

Elias watched Jack's departing figure and let out a mocking laugh. He not only teased Jack but also himself.

His phone started vibrating, so he glanced at it and saw a call from Oscar. He answered the phone, and Oscar reported, "Mr. Winters, Miss Murphy refuses to leave. I told her it was your wish, but she refused to go and said you should drive her out yourself."

A trace of annoyance appeared between Elias' brows, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright, I understand. Go about your duties."

Grace is so troublesome, like a piece of gum that I can't shake off.

After hanging up the phone, a person suddenly came to his mind. Perhaps this person could help him eliminate the trouble caused by Grace. The corner of his mouth curved into a smile as he slowly stood up and left the meeting room toward the office.

When he pushed open the door to the office, he saw Yacob putting the child to sleep on the couch with a blanket and keeping an eye on him while Stephanie was sitting on the opposite side. She looked bored as she flipped through a finance magazine and occasionally rolled her eyes at the sleeping child.

When Yacob saw him enter the office, he immediately stood up. Elias gestured for him to sit down. "Stay with the child. I'm going out to talk to Miss Allegra. Miss Allegra, let's have a cup of coffee." He then turned and walked out after saying this.

Stephanie was also restless, so she dropped the finance magazine in her hand and slowly left the office after a stretch. If it weren't for my father's insistence on waiting for Elias to finish the meeting and try on clothes with him, I wouldn't be foolishly waiting here.

…

The two arrived at the cafe on the company's third floor and sat in a window seat.

The weather was lovely today, and the gentle sunlight reflected against Elias' facial features. Such a scene made him look like he was from a comic series because of how flawless and impeccable he looked.

For a brief moment, Stephanie was captivated by the man's appearance.

"What are you looking at?" he asked coldly. He did not like being stared at like that. He found it annoying when someone gazed at him blankly.

After hearing his voice, she returned to her senses and averted her gaze. "Oh, nothing. Why did you choose this table? The sunlight is so strong that it's blinding."

"Just letting some light into your brain," he retorted mercilessly.

His rude comment left Stephanie stunned as she did not expect his straightforwardness. "Who are you insulting? Did you call me here just to say that, Elias?" She noticed that he always managed to provoke her and get furious easily.

Elias picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Back to the point, we can collaborate again for our benefit."

Collaborate? "What do you mean by collaborating?" she asked.
