The next day, Monday.

M Vanguard Law Associates.

Towards the end of the afternoon, supervisor Skyla walked up to Mariela’s desk and handed her a document.

“Mariela, according to the usual practice of the law firm, discussing cases is typically the responsibility of the business department. However, as you know, being a lawyer requires negotiation skills, and often it is best to handle cases oneself. I have a case here that I need you to negotiate.”

Mariela picked up the document and took a look at it.

Skyla said, “If you manage to close this case, I will give you a 20% commission based on the standard set by the business department, which can be added to the subsequent lawyer fees commission.”

Mariela didn’t really care about the commission.

What she valued was that going to discuss the case could enhance her negotiation skills.

In the past, at the law firm over in Los Angeles, the people from the business department used to discuss the cases and hand them over to their lawyers. In Los Angeles, she also didn’t have many connections, so she hardly had any opportunities to go out and negotiate cases herself.

Mariela took on the task and looked up at Skyla, saying, “Okay, Ms. Haas.”

Skyla patted Mariela’s shoulder reassuringly, “At seven o’clock, Oasis Club, I will have Braxton go with you, thank you for working overtime.”

Mariela nodded, “Okay, no problem.”

Half past six in the afternoon.

Mariela took the initiative to go to Braxton’s desk and asked, “Mr. Mckee, how are we going there later?”

Braxton looked at her with a strange gaze, seemingly tinged with a hint of disdain.“Why don’t you just drive your boyfriend’s Cullinan to show off?”

Yesterday, I went to the hospital to visit my colleague. Macy and Braxton saw Mariela getting off Cullinan. At that time, Braxton even asked her.

Mariela frowned at the words and said, “It’s too late for him to come over now, so I’ll take a taxi myself.”

She had her own car, but yesterday she drove back to the Logan’s villa. Lennon gave her a ride back to the apartment, so her car hasn’t been brought over yet.

Moreover, Skyla was about to finish work when she was told to go out and discuss the case, so it was too late to bring the car over now.

Braxton sarcastically said, “Oh, can’t bear it, huh? Well, it’s true. Ordinary working people like us don’t have the qualifications to sit in your boss’s Cullinan, let alone take a taxi there. Are you looking down on my Porschemacan? Well, it can’t compare to a Cullinan, after all.” Mariela frowned at him, sounding displeased.“What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have a problem with me? Constantly mentioning ‘benefactor‘, what do you mean?”
