Talia replied to him, "Of course, if Winter introduced you, I feel completely reassured."
Samuel Langdon felt a bit disappointed inside.
It seed she really didn’t rember him.
Samuel smiled slightly, took out his phone, and said to Talia, "Let’s exchange contact information first. We can arrange a ti to discuss things in detail later."
"Sure." Talia opened WeChat, scanned the code, and added Samuel’s contact.
Winter Donovan gently stirred the coffee in front of her and said with a smile, "Talia, don’t underestimate Samuel Langdon. Even though he’s only been practicing for just over three years, my brother tells he’s already a big na in the field of intellectual property. Several of my brother’s company’s intellectual property cases were handled by Samuel, and he hasn’t lost a single one."
Talia was slightly surprised and looked at Samuel Langdon again, "Lawyer Langdon is really impressive?"
Generally speaking, lawyers who have been practicing for over three years are still in the early stages, gaining experience. Most well-known lawyers in the industry usually have seven to eight years of practice, if not more.
For Samuel, who graduated in the sa year as she did, to beco a renowned lawyer in intellectual property within three years was indeed outstanding.
Talia was very ambitious and passionate about being a lawyer. Her goal was to beco a fad top attorney in the industry, so eting a colleague as exceptional as Samuel, Talia couldn’t help but admire him.
If, at first, she had no interest in this man.
Now, she admitted she felt so appreciation and admiration for him.
Talia smiled and sincerely praised, "I didn’t expect Lawyer Langdon to be so young and accomplished. It’s my honor to partner with you."
Samuel’s voice was gentle, like jade, "Lawyer Rhodes, you are too modest."
Yvonne Coleman murmured to herself, "A perfect match! They’re just too perfect!"
Winter laughed and nudged her with her elbow, whispering, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I’m just speaking the truth. Don’t you think they’re just a perfect match? They’re both lawyers, have common topics, and they’re both good-looking. I’m really shipping them."
Talia awkwardly said to Samuel, "My friend likes to joke around, don’t mind her."
Samuel smiled gently, perfectly embodying the deanor of a gentleman, "I don’t mind."
The group chatted for a while longer.
Mostly it was Yvonne looking for topics to chat about with Samuel.
From university life to post-graduation experiences, Yvonne talked enthusiastically.
Finally, Yvonne asked Samuel with so seriousness, "By the way, why didn’t you accept my confession back in college?"
Samuel instinctively glanced at Talia, who was busy chatting with Winter about the latest fashion show, not noticing the topic between Samuel and Yvonne at all.
Yvonne was also pretty oblivious, not noticing Samuel’s glance at Talia.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, smiling politely and distantly, "I liked soone at the ti."
Yvonne was surprised, "Ah? You liked soone? Who?"
Samuel looked down and smiled, not answering.
Seeing he wouldn’t answer, Yvonne suddenly thought of sothing, shocked and covering her mouth, "You, you wouldn’t happen to be... gay, would you?"
"Cough, cough—" Samuel didn’t expect Yvonne to have such a misunderstanding. The coffee he had just drunk got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough a couple of tis.
Talia, hearing the word "gay," turned her head surprisingly, "What gay? Lawyer, you..."
She hesitated.
"No, no." Samuel hastily waved his hand in denial, "My sexual orientation is normal."
Yvonne gave him a sidelong glance, skeptical, "Then why don’t you say who you liked?"
"I..."
"What are you talking about that makes you laugh so happily?" Samuel was just about to speak when a cool male voice interrupted.
Yvonne felt a chill down her back, and her smile instantly froze.
Ryan Quinn walked over, casually pulled a chair and sat down, looking at Yvonne with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
"Yvonne, since when have you and Samuel Langdon beco so familiar?"
Yvonne: "..."
Where did this jealous person co from?
"Bro..." Yvonne instantly wilted, giving a sheepish smile, "I was just introducing the law firm partners to Talia."
"Oh? Is that so?" Ryan looked coolly at Samuel.
Samuel smiled politely.
Ryan’s tone was very sour, curling his lips into a cold smile, "How co I heard you asking him why he didn’t accept your confession in college?"
Yvonne was speechless: "I..."
Talia and Winter looked at each other.
Why did today’s Ryan seem off?
They couldn’t quite put their finger on what was off.
Yvonne gave a strained smile, "You heard wrong."
She then took out her phone and fiddled with it, suddenly a ringtone went off.
Yvonne pretended to take a call, "Hello? Yes, what’s up? Oh, oh, right now? Okay, okay, I’m on my way."
Feigning importance, Yvonne hung up the "call," picked up her bag, and stood up, "Um, I suddenly have sothing to do. I’ll be leaving, you guys chat, bye Winter, Talia."
With that, Yvonne hurried off.
Her back gave the impression of a hasty escape.
Talia watched Yvonne’s retreating figure and said to Winter, "That ringtone just now... wasn’t that an alarm sound?"
Winter said, "Yes, you heard right, it was an alarm."
Ryan looked at Samuel with a aningful glance, "So she likes that type, huh?"
Samuel: "..."
"You guys chat, I’m heading back too." Ryan stood up and left.
After he left, Talia leaned in and whispered to Winter, "Winter, why does it feel like the atmosphere between Ryan and Yvonne is so strange."
"I think so too."
...
Quickly enough, Ryan caught up with Yvonne in the parking lot.
"Running so fast, are you feeling guilty?" Ryan pulled Yvonne into his arms for a hug.
Yvonne used her hand to push him, looking nervous, "Don’t do this outside, what if Talia and the others see?"
Ryan curled his lips, a cold snort escaping his nose, "Are you worried Talia will see or that your crush will?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yvonne glared at him, "I like you."
"I heard everything you said. You liked Samuel back in college, hm?" Ryan held Yvonne’s waist tightly with one hand, while the other pinched her chin.
Yvonne bit her lip, stamring, "I... who hadn’t liked soone before... can you say that you didn’t like anyone in college either?"
Ryan sneered, "I really didn’t like anyone else."
Yvonne suddenly lifted her eyes to him, shocked.
Ryan t her gaze, seriously saying, "I’ve only ever liked you from the beginning to end."
Yvonne was stunned.
"I-I’m your first love?"
"What else?" Ryan leaned down to capture Yvonne’s lips in a kiss.
It was a tender and lingering kiss.
"Little heartless one."
After the kiss, both of their breaths were slightly hurried.
A rosy hue rose on Yvonne’s face, and her eyes seed a bit glazed.
"Co to my place, hm?" Ryan’s fingers gently brushed across Yvonne’s lips.
Yvonne softly responded, "Mhm."
When they got to Ryan’s private villa, they couldn’t hold back and indulged themselves thoroughly.
In the throes of passion, Ryan held Yvonne’s chin and asked, "Do you like or Samuel Langdon?"
Yvonne’s eyes were alluring, breathlessly responding, "I like you, only you."
Receiving the answer he wanted, the man leaned down once more.
