在野外被三个男人躁一夜

Chapter 314 - An Intelligent Mind

Gerald already updated her through his emails on the case he was working on with her. He did not pressure her to report to him during the last week, knowing her condition, but she could tell that he badly needed her help.

She determined that she might need a couple of days to get acquainted with the case but could tell that she did not have that much time.

"Ok. I will text you if it is important." Jacky knew the drill. Then, she also returned to her table to do her work.

Not having Dani around the office did not mean that she could laze around her table. She also had tons of work to finish. When her boss returned, Dani would find the files neatly piled on her table for her perusal.

One thing she learned by working with Dani was her work ethic. She did not like slacking off on the job. She also believed in giving more than a? hundred percent of effort in everything she did.

"Ok. I\'ll see you later then." She walked straight to the elevator that would bring her to his floor.

She had been looking forward to working with him in this case. If she was lucky, she might have her time in court with one of the best litigators in the business. She could not wait to learn from an expert.

She waited anxiously inside the lift as it climbed the floors one at a time. It felt like it took her forever, but in truth, their elevators were one of the fastest in the industry.

"Mr. Brown is expecting me, Diane." She greeted his secretary, who was startled.

Diane was busy typing something on her keyboard that she did not even notice her approaching her table. She almost dropped her files when she accidentally knocked them out of place upon seeing Dani standing in front of her table.

"I\'m sorry. I did not mean to frighten you. But I have an appointment with Gerald." She decided to forego the formalities since she had been socializing with Diane during break times.

Jacky had introduced the two of them, and they had managed to exchange some pleasant stories in some of their snack times with Jacky in the kitchen room for staff.

"Oh. Don\'t worry about it." Diane did easily get rattled, but she was used to it. "Yes, Gerald is waiting for you. Just go in, Dani." Diane told her, pointing to the door.

Since she already knew her way around his office, there was no need for Diane to escort her to his room which was just a few steps from her desk.

Compared to her office, his was massive with large and heavy doors. A good lawyer like him only deserved the best. He had earned his right to preferential treatment.

"Hey, Gerald." She slightly knocked on his door before peeking through the cracks. She was still a bit uncomfortable working with him. She still had to learn more about him and how his minds worked.

She could not simply assume what he was expecting from her. She had to establish good communication with him so that the case would run smoothly without a hitch.

"Please, Dani. Come in and sit down." Gerald quickly stood from his seat and walked around his table to greet her.

He pointed to the vacant seat in front of him and indicated to her to sit down. He was glad that she was finally here to help him out with the case.

He looked forward to the chance to work with her, but the opportunity did not arise until now. But he would make sure to pick her brains during this time and get to know her more.

"Thanks." She took the offered seat and placed her notepad on her lap as she waited for whatever her next step would be.

It was her first time working with him, so she still needed a few guidelines to what he wanted to proceed with the case. At the same time, she was trying to observe a few hints on how he was as a boss.

She already had worked with David and Ethan in several cases before, but it would be her first time working with him. She had not observed him personally, but she did hear only good things about his reputation.

"Have you seen the emails I sent you? Did you also get the chance to review some of the depositions I sent to your office?" He began to ask her, quickly shifting to working mode.

"Well, honestly, I am still reading the depositions. I am only halfway through with it." She admitted to him.

She knew that lying about it would only cause more trouble. But she could easily catch up with her backlog if Gerald would give her the time until tomorrow.

"That\'s ok. At least you started. But I will need you to speed up a bit more since we are running out of time. The opposing counsels are already gearing up to speed up the trial." Gerald informed her of the latest development on the case.

"I assure you that I am working overtime on this. By tomorrow, I will try to finish it." She could not promise him that she might be able to accomplish everything tomorrow, but she would certainly try her best.

"I think that is good enough for now." Gerald felt if it had been another lawyer, he would ask that lawyer to get out of his office right away. But Dani was different.

Gerald had been waiting to work with her since he first had an opportunity to talk to her. He also noticed something special about her. He could not put her out of his mind since then.

"If you don\'t mind, I have some clarifications on the first few files I read. Maybe we could discuss it right now." She took out her notes, hoping to clear out the confusion she had about the case.

"Of course, I am glad that you already noticed some discrepancy in the files." He suddenly knew that he had made the right choice of working with her.

He was right about her. She was not only beautiful physically, but she possessed an intelligent mind that he would love to explore.
