Chapter 124

Johnson thought to himself that though this young woman claimed to know how to play golf, women typically lacked the strength to hit effectively. Whether she could reach the green at all remained uncertain, and even if she did, it would likely take eight or nine strokes. Losing a bit of money to see her smile would be worth it.

Thalia pressed her lips together in a smile. “I’m happy to join you for dinner, but betting money is rather dull. Let’s- wager something else.”

“What did you have in mind, Miss Winters?”

“If I can get a ball onto the green within ten strokes, you’ll sign a one–year legal advisory contract plus a case representation agreement with our firm. For each stroke under ten, add another year to the contract. If I make it in one stroke, you’ll sign a ten–year contract, and all of Caresol Group’s legal matters during those ten years must be handled by our firm. How does that sound?”

Johnson chuckled, thinking to himself that this young woman was rather clever–not interested in a paltry ten or twenty thousand pounds, but planning something more ambitious.

A company as large as Caresol Group generated enough legal cases annually to sustain their entire firm for a year.

He had underestimated her.

Johnson turned to the head partner with an amused smile. “Where did you find Miss Winters? She’s remarkably dedicated, always thinking of your firm’s interests. I’m half tempted to poach her for our legal department.”

The head partner laughed. “Very funny, Mr. Johnson.”

Finding the situation entertaining, Johnson agreed with a smile. “Since Miss Winters has proposed using contracts as stakes, let’s proceed that way. Whatever makes her happy.”

Thalia smiled sweetly. “Excellent.”

A caddy handed her a golf club, which she took and swung experimentally.

Johnson, in a somewhat fawning manner, remarked with a smile, “Very good! Miss Winters clearly has natural talent.”

Thalia curved her lips into a smile without responding. She positioned herself, took careful aim, and said, “Mr. Johnson, I hope you’re prepared.”

Before Johnson could fully grasp her meaning, Thalia had already executed a smooth, expert swing. The small white ball traced a perfect are through the air before landing firmly on the green.
