Chapter 75
Charlotte glanced through the file
Yvonne said, “If you can close this case, I’ll give you a 20% commission, same as what the business department gets. It can also be stacked with the Lawyer’s fee commission”
charlotte wasn’t particularly interested in the money.
What she cared about was the opportunity to build her negotiation skills.
Back when she worked at a law firm in Harbor City, it was always the business department that negotiated deals, then handed the cases off to the lawyers. And since she had no connections in Harbor City, she hardly ever got the chance to handle client negotiations herself.
she accepted the assignment and looked up at Yvonne. “Got it, Miss Yarnell.”
Yvonne gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
“It’s at 7 o’clock, Starfuge Club. 111 have Willy go with you. Thanks for staying late.”
Charlotte nodded. “No problem.”
W 6:30p.m., charlotte went over to Willy’s desk
“Mr. Kennedy, how are we getting there?”
Willy gave her a strange look, tinged with something like disdain.
“Why not take your boyfriend’s Rolls–Royce Cullinan and make a show of it?”
The day before, when they had gone to visit a hospitalized colleague, both Yasmine and Willy had seen Charlotte step out of a Cullinan, Willy had even asked her about it at the time,
Charlotte trowned slightly
“There’s no time for him to bring the car around now. I’ll just grab a cab.”
She didown a car, but she had left it at the Riley family’s villa the day before Sean had driven her back to her apartment, and she hadn’t had a chance to bring her
Get over yet.
Besides, Yvonne had only told her about the case at the end of the workday. There just wasn’t time to go get it now.
Willy sneered.
“What, can’t bear to? Well, it makes sense. People like us, just regular working folk don’t exactly get to ride around in your sugar daddy’s Cullinan, And now you’re saying you’ll take ad
a cal? Whut, my Porsche Macan’s not good enough for you? I got it. Can’t compete with a Rolls, right?”
Charlotte’s brows furrowed. Her tone tumed sharp:
“What are you even talking about? Do you have some kind of problem with me? All this ‘sugar daddy‘ talk–what exactly are you trying to say?”
Willy gave a fake smile.
“Oh, come on, Miss Riley. Don’t take in the wrong way. I didn’t mean anything by it. Just saying you’re lucky that younanaged to land a guy with a cullinan. I’m honestly jealous.”
Charlotte snapped back, clearly annoyed.
“I don’t think I’ve ever done anything to offend you, have 17 What’s with the sudde comments? Did I ask your to pay for the car?”
Willy scoffed. “Like I could afford one.
Custoite didn’t hold back
“Then maybe stop whainling and do something about it. You’ve just batter. That’s not my problem “
That last jab hat willy right where it hurt. His expression darkened.
Then, with zero shame, he spar, “Yeah, tambitter. I wish I were a woman then I could just spread my legs and bag a rich man too.
Charlotte’s face tumed pale with rage. She clenched het jaw.
“‘you’re a lawyer, aren’t you? You should know slander and defamation are comes. You’d better watch your mouth because if you keep this up, don’t blame me for dragging you into court, coworker or not.”
Willy seemed to realize he had gone too far. He rolled his eyes, grabbed his briefcase, and walked off without another word.
Cladotte took a moment to compose herself, then called a cab.
StarEdge Club wasn’t far from the office. It was just a ten–minute drive
When she pushed open the door to the private room, Willy was already inside, drinking with two dients.
Both men were middle–aged CEOs in their forties. Each had a heavily made–up hostess clinging to his arm.
As soon as Charlotte entered, all eyes in the mom burned toward her.
