After a while, they tidied up and returned to the room. Naomi had just taken a seat in front of the dining table before Brendan pulled out a chair and sat beside her.
Upon seeing that, she pulled all the food in front of her. “I don’t like to share. I like to have everything to myself.”
Brendan raised his gaze. He felt that there was a subtext to her words.
He rolled his sleeves up and looked at Naomi. “Your anger hasn’t subsided since yesterday?”
Naomi shook her head and responded, “That sounds like you want to make amends with me. You need to make it up to me! In that case, let me teach you…”
Naomi hadn’t finished speaking before Brendan stood up from his chair and took his coat.
He could guarantee that Naomi was either going to have a go at him or ask for something outrageous. He wouldn’t piss himself off this early in the morning.
Brendan got up to leave, but Naomi followed. “Don’t leave, Brendan! I haven’t taught you how to make
amends. Are you giving up now?”
She stuffed the rest of her bun into her mouth and smiled nonchalantly. She was a professional at making
Brendan unhappy.
Brendan left. Naomi tidied up the things left on the table. She then changed into another pair of shoes. and met with Ronald and Bailey downstairs.
When Naomi came down, Ronald went up to her immediately. “Naomi, is Brendan planning to send me to build another charity school?”
Naomi responded, “If he dares to send you to build another charity school, I’ll send his woman to a
whorehouse.”
Bailey said admiringly, “You’re giving yourself up to protect Ronald. You’re so ruthless.”
Bailey’s explanation nearly moved Ronald to tears. “Naomi, you don’t need to do so. Even if Brendan.
Sweat beaded on Naomi’s forehead, and she pushed Ronald’s forehead.
“What are the both of you thinking of? How am I his woman? I’m not giving myself any extra credit in that area, so you two can save it!”
Ronald responded, “Right, what kind of married couple are you guys anyway? Brendan doesn’t deserve
you.”
Brendan was in a meeting when he sneezed, seemingly out of nowhere.
After spending some time with Ronald and Bailey, Michael called her over to participate in a meeting. So, she left and got to work.

She worked until it was time for dinner, after which she only had time to rest.
However, upon seeing that Brendan would be eating with her, she felt that the dishes in front of her no longer looked enticing.
She could’ve eaten with anyone. Yet, it had to be Brendan. She would rather have gone out to eat with Bailey and Ronald,
“Naomi,” Chloe greeted smilingly upon seeing Naomi walk toward her through the other thirty people in
the dining room.
ps?” Naomi responded tonelessly. Thanks to Chloe, Ronald hadn’t been sent to build a charity school.
Naomi was dismissive, so Chloe hurriedly pulled a chair out beside Brendan and said, “Naomi, do sit here!
She behaved as though she was the one who gave the seat to Naomi.
Naomi declared, “I don’t have the right to sit beside your Mr. Ludwig.” As she spoke, she pulled out a chair beside Sally and took a seat.
Across the dining room, the rest of the people had many questions in mind.
What kind of background did this new lawyer from Solaris have?
Why was Brendan’s assistant hanging on to her every word?
In fact, she also seemed to be the lawyer who managed to grab the Ludwig family’s legal case.
Most importantly, she did not give any deference to Mr. Ludwig’s assistant.
Upon seeing that, Michael reminded her softly, “Naomi, Mr. Ludwig is our biggest client. We can’t afford to get in his bad books!”
