Run Away After Flirting: Get Lost, Mr. Attorney! Chapter 121: Go Find Your Sweetheart Assistant

"I never expected you to be so useless. Losing the lawsuit is one thing, but getting pinned with so many charges—are you going to take responsibility for Summit’s losses?!"

Raymond Dawson stood before the desk, not daring to retaliate despite the pain from the blow. He glanced up at him and frowned, timidly explaining:

"Chairman Sterling, it’s not entirely my fault. I took over this case last minute yesterday, without any prior preparation.

If anyone’s to bla, it’s Elias Spencer. Who knows where he’s disappeared to, leaving you with such heavy losses!"

"..." Sean Sterling’s face darkened at his words, and he picked up his phone to call Elias Spencer again, but it was still turned off.

Damn it, where has this man gone?

"Is Sumr Nolan also missing?" His eyes grew deep and contemplative.

"Yes, the two of them disappeared together at the island resort the day before yesterday." Raymond Dawson nodded in response.

"Hmph, isn’t that a bit too coincidental..."

Sean Sterling clasped his hands behind his back, letting out a cold snort, suspecting that Sumr Nolan used so trick to intentionally trap Elias Spencer there.

Could it be that she found out it was who sent those thugs, and this is her way of getting back at ?

His eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting a hint of malice—

-

Around 3 PM, Sumr Nolan and Elias Spencer coincidentally arrived at the law firm.

They got out of the car and exchanged glances. Sumr looked at him standing not too far away, speechless. Why did he have to co at this ti too?

If they walked into the office together, colleagues would surely gossip.

Elias Spencer, on the other hand, seed unperturbed, acting as if he didn’t care.

Sumr was about to get back into her car to wait for him to go up first when suddenly another car pulled up, and Raymond Dawson erged from it.

With a look of surprise, he asked, "Attorney Nolan, where have you been these past days? Why are you just getting back now? I was worried sick."

"That day, a client called both Attorney Spencer and to discuss the case on a yacht. Once onboard, we inadvertently offended so shady characters and got kidnapped.

Fortunately, we escaped and just got back to the city this morning." Sumr fabricated a lie to explain.

Of course, Raymond Dawson knew she had tricked Elias Spencer onto the boat, but feigned concern and asked, "Are you both unhard?"

"No injuries," she replied.

"That’s good to hear. By the way, Attorney Spencer, since you didn’t make it back yesterday, I took your place in court. But because I wasn’t prepared, Summit lost the case, and the losses were severe.

Chairman Sterling is quite upset, so rember to apologize to him." Raymond Dawson passed the buck to him.

"Since Director Dawson lost the case, you’re the one who should apologize," Elias Spencer said as he walked away.

Raymond Dawson’s expression soured.

"Did Director Dawson receive the legal fees?" Sumr asked him.

The ntion of legal fees turned Raymond Dawson’s face even darker as he replied gravely, "I asked that old bastard for the fees, but not only did he refuse, I also got scolded for several hours! It’s no wonder we lost the case."

Apologize, my ass!

He was beyond fed up.

Sumr almost couldn’t help but laugh at his words. He ended up with no legal fees and a blow to his reputation?

Playing him felt so satisfying.

"Chairman Sterling is pretty upset right now. Try asking him again after so ti," she encouraged.

"Mm, I suppose that’s my only option." Suddenly rembering Elias Spencer’s assistant, he asked, "By the way, did Iris Lynn return with you guys?"

"Didn’t Iris Lynn co back with the law firm group?" Sumr cautiously asked in return.

"The day you tricked Attorney Spencer onto the yacht, she seed to have disappeared too. I managed to reach her by phone. She said she was going to find Elias Spencer.

But when I called again yesterday, her phone was suddenly off. Do you think sothing might have happened?"

He really didn’t want to get involved with Elias Spencer, but if sothing had happened, the firm would be held accountable.

Sumr grew more cautious of that woman—they were discreet during the trip, but could she have spotted them sharing a room?

After all, she liked Elias Spencer and would naturally pay more attention to his whereabouts.

Heading to the office, she went straight to Elias Spencer’s room.

The man seated behind the desk lifted his eyes to her, his tone cool, "What’s up?"

"Did you hear from Iris Lynn these past days?" Sumr walked in and asked.

"No, why?" he asked back.

"Raymond Dawson ntioned that she went looking for us at the resort and hasn’t returned. I’m worried she might have seen us sharing a room.

Could she have secretly followed us onto the yacht?" she told the man.

"Even if she saw, she wouldn’t ntion it to anyone at the firm." In Elias Spencer’s eyes, Iris Lynn had always been obedient, never having done anything to harm him.

For instance, when Sumr was new to the firm, she also witnessed their ambiguous relationship but never leaked a word.

"Ha, you certainly trust her," Sumr chuckled, feeling an inexplicable discomfort.

"You said she went to find us at the resort and hasn’t returned?" he asked.

"Yes, you should drive over and look for her. What if sothing happens to your dear assistant?" she remarked offhandedly, arms crossed.

Elias Spencer glanced at her without replying, simply taking his phone out to call the assistant—but it was turned off?

Could sothing have happened?

"She went out with the firm group; if sothing happened, the firm would bear responsibility. Did Raymond Dawson ntion when he last had contact with her?" he asked.

"Yesterday," Sumr answered curtly, noting his genuinely concerned deanor. Wasn’t his worry for the firm; it was sincere concern?

Wasn’t Raymond Dawson also afraid of accountability, which is why he didn’t seek her out?

Hearing she was unreachable since yesterday, Elias Spencer frowned, mulled for a mont, then got up, ready to take so bodyguards to search for her.

"Are you really going to find her yourself?" Sumr turned to ask.

"Yes, she’s there only because she was searching for us." After saying this, he left.

Sumr hadn’t expected him to care so much about his assistant, feeling sowhat disappointed—if he cared so about another woman, why bother seeking reconciliation with ?

Evening, at the bar counter.

Sumr sat drinking alone, when suddenly a handso man slid into the seat beside her, asking with a hint of sarcasm, "Where’s Elias Spencer? Isn’t he here to drink with you?"

She turned to see it was Ian Sterling.

He felt a bit resentful that she and Elias Spencer sneaked away on the yacht without him.

"He went to find his darling assistant," Sumr propped her head with one hand, dazedly watching him speak.
