Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Based on the address, Flossie found the law firm in a run-down office building outside the Fourth Ring Road.
She looked up and saw a sign that said “Guajardos & Co. Law Firm”. It was rusty and looked like it could fall off at any moment.
As exr ed of a place housing worthless trash!
But that only made Flossie even more enthusiastic.
She stepped into the law firm and saw that there was no one inside except for a cleaner who was currently cleaning the desks.
After a while, a lawyer finally arrived. Before she could speak, the lawyer took a look at her and told her flatly, “If you want to file a lawsuit, go to the law firm next door. We’re not accepting clients today.”
Flossie pursed her lips and did not respond. She walked up to the cleaner who was cleaning the desks and said, “Mr. Wayne, can I have a word?”
The man’s clothes were plain and he was wearing a face mask. He was patiently wiping the leaves of a plant on the desk, making sure each leaf was spotless clean.
Hearing Flossie’s voice, he gently raised his eyes and looked over curiously. “The new boss of Guajardos & Co. Law Firm, I presume? The poor woman about to be abandoned by Halston Guajardo?”
Rence felt a little awkward. She cleared her throat softly and said, “The second part was unnecessary.”
The man put down the spray bottle and took off his mask. His middle-age face looked kind and gentle, exactly as the information said.
From the information Liam sent her, Flossie knew that the Guajardos & Co. Law Firm had three two men and a woman partners and this John Wayne was one of them. (1)
Among the three partners, John Wayne was the oldest and the most experienced. He looked like he would be easy to get along with, but he was actually the most cunning one.
John said, “I’m curious. We haven’t met before and I’m dressed like this, so how did you recognize me?”
“It’s simple.”
Flossie told him honestly, “Being your new boss, I’ve looked into all of you. I know that John Wayne is a plant lover. An ordinary cleaner wouldn’t have made sure every leaf was spotless clean.”
“Hah. Interesting.”
John stared at Flossie, the interest in his eyes growing stronger. He smiled and said, “Lass, if you’ve really looked into us, you would know that we’re a difficult bunch to deal with. If you’re smart, you should stay away from us.”
“What can I say? I’ve always loved a challenge.”
Flossie’s voice was passionate and her eyes sparkled with excitement. She looked bright and tenacious, like a determined young leopard who would not give in.
After all, in her veins flowed the blood of General Maurice Ellsworth. Her indomitable personality was engraved into her genes!
Halston Guajardo couldn’t do it in three years. You really think you can change us?”
“I don’t need three years. I’ll do it in three days!” Flossie proclaimed with confidence.
“I commend your courage, young woman. Good luck,” John said meaningfully and left.
The Guajardos & Co. Law Firm was indeed like a hot potato.
The three partners being absent more often than not was not the only problem. The lawyers working under them were all tough nuts to crack too. None of them took their new boss seriously.
The only one who was respectful to her was a trainee lawyer called Warrick.
It was time for the morning meeting but there was still not a lawyer to be seen in the spacious office.
Warrick cautiously told Flossie, who was sitting at the conference table, “Boss, Mr. Rosenwell said there’s a match today, so he gathered everyone in preparation for the live stream this evening, so… so he said he wouldn’t be coming to the office today.”
“A match?”
Flossie raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you talking about the LCL Season 7 Spring Split Grand Finals?”
“Warrick’s eyes widened in surprise, “How do you know, boss? Do you follow e-sports too?””
After all, LCL was a niche game that had a steep learning curve. Only true game enthusiasts pay attention to it.
How could a wealthy housewife like his new boss know about it?
Flossie’s lips curled into a faint smile. She only said, “Okay, tell Mr. Rosenwell and the others to enjoy the match. I’ll treat them to some snacks to this evening.”
At 9:00 pm, the LCL Spring Split Grand Finals reached its climax, with Team Raging Storm from Aeos trailing Team Victory from Varangia 1:2.
The club was crowded. At the last second, Team Raging Storm managed to turn the tables and wipe out Team Victory, winning the championship. The place erupted in cheers.
“World Champion! Well done, Team Raging Storm!”
Flossie suddenly arrived with champagne and sashimi.
Zack Rosenwell was cheering fanatically.
Among the three partners of the law firm, he was the youngest, but his professional skills were very highly-regarded in the industry, and that gave rise to his arrogance.
How arrogant was he? He would not even give Halston the time of day, let alone Flossie.
“Team Raging Storm won the championship! We have to celebrate. I brought champagne and sashimi for everyone.”
Flossie stood in the center of the club and addressed everyone there enthusiastically,
Zack sneered. “As if you know anything about Team Raging Storm. Have you even played the game before?”
Flossie smiled. “Not only do I know about Team Raging Storm, we’re actually old friends.”
“Yeah, right. Why don’t you try coming up with a more convincing lie?”
“If I manage to invite Team Raging Storm to the club, can you promise me one thing?” Flossie’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.
Three days passed.
The Sporadic Star Bar was a relatively famous bar in Beach City. It was an elegant and artistic- looking two-story establishment.
Xavier Stuart and Christopher Jacobs were currently sitting in the VIP area on the second floor. Not only did it have a great view, it also provided a certain level of privacy.
The two already had a few drinks, but Halston, who had agreed to meet them here, was still nowhere to be found.
“What’s up with Halston? This is the first time in four years us Golden Trio are meeting up with just the three of us. He wouldn’t stand us up, would he?”
Xavier was holding a glass of wine with a slightly anxious expression. He kept looking towards the entrance.
“I asked to see him today because I have something important to talk to him about. If I don’t take care of this, my father will surely break my leg when I go home tonight!”
Christopher, being the oldest in the Golden Trio, was as calm as ever. He said unhurriedly,” Bro, calm down. You know how Fan is. If he doesn’t feel like it, he simply won’t come. It’s not the first time he’s stood us up.”
Xavier could not calm down. Only Halston could take care of his problem for him.
“This won’t do. I’m gonna give him a call!”
He took out his phone and called Halston.
At the other end of the phone, Halston was busy with work. His words were cold and a bit rushed. He told them to drink by themselves first, and if he could not get there in time, they did not have to wait for him.
“Man, are you really gonna stand us up?!”
Xavier was racking his brains trying to think of a way to get his workaholic friend to come when he saw about five or six people walking in from the bar entrance, all of them bright and youthful.
What surprised Xavier was the sight of the black-haired woman in white dress among them. It was actually Flossie!
the moment, Flossie had a bright smile on her face as she whispered something to a man around her age. They seemed very intimate.
Halston was about to hang up, so Xavier quickly added with some excitement, “Bro, you’ve gotta come, or you’re gonna lose your woman! Your dear little wife is going around hugging different men right now! She’s having a great time!”
At the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence, followed by the sound of a laptop closing. “Sporadic Stars Bar, right? I’ll be right there.”
Christopher had also seen Flossie by now, and a smile appeared on his gentle face. “Fan’s wife seems to be a little different since the last time we saw her. What an interesting young woman.”
Downstairs, Flossie and Zack chose a booth for eight people.
It had only been three days since Flossie met the lawyers. Three days ago, they looked down on her, but now, she had become the life of the party. She was the one everyone revolved around.
The arrogant Zack was now behaving like her lackey. He was constantly trying to please her.
“Boss, everything’s taken care of. I’ve handled the matter exactly as you instructed. Can you invite Team Raging Storm over for another game sometime so that us mortals can feast our eyes upon your godly skills?”
