Chapter 403 Marielaâs face flushed even more, and she hesitantly murmured, âYes.â
Bryce looked at Marie with a hint of amusement and asked, âDo I look like such a narcissist?â
Menu Mariela explained anxiously, âI didnât mean that. I heard from Fiona and Caylee that many girls liked you, but you rejected all of them. I thought you might be disgusted with the opposite sex having a crush on you because there are too many girls who like you. Iâm afraid youâll misunderstand me and refuse to partner with me. Can you understand?â
Seeing Mariela explain that to him very seriously, Bryce suddenly started laughing.
Marie didnât know why Bryce laughed.
âWhat are you laughing at?â
Bryce looked very attractive when he smiled, giving people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.
Bryce was not the same type of handsome guy as Lennon.
Lennon was kind of hard to get close to.
But Bryce was like the warm sunshine in spring. He treated people with humility and politeness. He was refined and easygoing.
Bryce said, âNever mind it. I just thought it was cute how you were explaining to me seriously that you didnât have any feelings for me.â
Marie didnât say anything.
âYou donât need to explain. I know you donât like me.â
Marie was confused.
âI knew that a long time ago.â
Bryce thought in his mind.
Bryce wanted to ask Marie a question.
That was, do you really not remember me at all?
But after a momentâs thought, Bryce finally didnât ask.
Bryce knew he might lose his chance to work with Marie if he asked.
After showing Bryce the decoration of the law firm, it was just time for dinner.
Bryce smiled gently and asked, âCan I take you out for dinner, my partner?â
Mariela replied gracefully, âSure, why not?â
Marie didnât have Valentineâs Day on her mind. All she thought about was work. She wanted to have dinner first and then talk to Bryce about the partnership, and sign the contract.
This was the first time Mariela had a formal dinner with Bryce, her partner. In her mind, Mariela was thinking about discussing cooperation at the dinner table, so she chose a nearby upscale restaurant, not wanting it to be too casual.
Mariela and Bryce walked into the restaurant, and as they looked up, they were taken by surprise to see an acquaintance.
Lennon was dressed in a black suit, but it couldnât hide his noble demeanor and his handsome face.
Lennon looked at Marielaâs face for a few seconds and then he looked at Bryce behind Marie.
