Braxton smiled and said, “Oh, Ms. Logan, don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t mean anything. I was just complimenting your good luck, being able to be with the brother who drives a Cullinan. I envy you.”
Mariela said angrily, “Did I offend you? Why are you acting so strange? Did I spend your money on buying a Cullinan?”
Braxton snorted coldly, “Where do I have that money?”
Mariela retorted without hesitation, “I’ve never seen someone as talkative as you. Instead of being jealous here, why don’t you work hard and stop being so bitter?”
This jealousy” really hit a sore spot for Braxton. The man was provoked and his face darkened as he spoke disrespectfully, “Yeah, yeah, I am jealous. I hate that I’m not a woman, unlike you who can seduce men with just spreading your legs.”
Mariela turned pale with anger and gritted her teeth, saying, “You’re also a lawyer, you know that spreading rumors and defamation is illegal. It’s better to watch your mouth, or else don’t blame me for disregarding our professional relationship and sending you in!”
Braxton may have also realized that his words were too harsh. He rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything else, picked up his briefcase, and left.
Mariela calmed down and drove a car by herself.
The Oasis Club was not far from the law firm, a ten–minute drive away.
When Mariela pushed open the compartment door and entered, Braxton was drinking with two customers, William Anderson and Christopher Martinez.
Both customers were the CEOs of the company, middle–aged men in their forties, each holding a heavily made–up hostess in their arms. As Mariela entered, the gaze of several people in the private room focused on her.
Two old men saw such a young and beautiful girl, and their eyes instantly lit up.
A slightly chubby boss squinted at Mariela with a lecherous look and asked, “Who is this?”
Braxton discreetly rolled his eyes at Mariela, his gaze filled with disdain.
Mariela took out the contract and placed it on the table, smiling slightly. She said, “Mr. Anderson, Mr. Martinez, I am Ms. Logan from Vanguard Law Associates. I came here to discuss the signing of the contract with you.”
Mariela sat down on the nearby single sofa and said, “Mr. Anderson, the contract with the legal advisor of your company’s previous law firm is about to expire, right? You can consider signing a legal advisor contract with our law firm, Vanguard Law Associates. We are the top law firm in New York, and our lawyers in civil and commercial, criminal, intellectual property, and administrative law are well–known in the industry.” “Furthermore, Mr. Martinez, I heard that your company had a trademark infringement dispute. Our law firm’s intellectual property lawyers have handled thousands of trademark infringement cases. Choosing our law firm would not be wrong.”
