After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#31 “I Won’t Beat Around the Bush.”

Previous encounters still resonate at the office as Sophia delves into her work. Her focus shifts as she encounters a new challenge-a difficult client who was recommended by none other than Emily’s mother.

The client, Mr. Thompson, seeks her expertise to handle a significant business merger and acquisition case. Despite the weight of her previous interactions with Emily and her mother, Sophia’s commitment to her profession remains steadfast.

She takes on the case, determined to separate her personal feelings from her legal responsibilities.

The hours of the day blend into one another as Sophia meticulously prepares for the crucial meeting. The stakes are high, and the weight of the impending negotiations rests heavily on her shoulders.

When the appointed time arrives, Sophia dons her professional demeanor and meets Mr. Thompson at his office. With a practiced air of confidence, they discuss the strategy for the upcoming meeting.

“Mr. Thompson,” Sophia begins,” we need to be thorough in our approach. The success of this merger depends on a comprehensive understanding of both parties needs and concerns.”

Mr. Thompson replies, “I understand, Sophia. I trust your expertise. This is a critical moment for our company.”

The meeting is set to take place at a prestigious hotel, and Sophia accompanies Mr. Thompson as they enter the ornate lobby. The grandeur of the surroundings contrasts with the tension that hums in the air.

As they wait in a private room for the other party to arrive, Sophia observes Mr. Thompson’s growing restlessness. His anxious energy is palpable, and she senses he’s not as well-prepared as he should be.
