Thalia responded: “Of course, if Charlotte recommends you, I have complete confidence.”

Rupert felt a little disappointed.

It seemed she truly didn’t remember him.

Rupert smiled gently and took out his phone. “Let’s exchange contact information first. We can arrange a time to

discuss the details later.”

“Perfect,” Thalia agreed, opening her phone to scan his code and add his contact.

Charlotte stirred her coffee lightly, smiling as she spoke: “Thalia, although Rupert has only been practicing for just over three years, my brother says he’s already become quite renowned in the field of intellectual property law. Several IP–related cases for my brother’s company were handled by Rupert–he’s never lost a case.”

Thalia was slightly surprised, her gaze returning to Rupert’s face. “You’re that accomplished, Mr. Lysander?”

Typically, solicitors with only three years of experience were just emerging from the novice stage and still accumulating experience. Those with established reputations usually had seven to eight years of practice, or even

more than a decade.

Rupert had graduated in the same class as her, and to have become a notable solicitor in intellectual property law with just over three years of experience was truly exceptional.

Thalia was ambitious and passionate about her profession. Her goal was to become a renowned, top–tier solicitor. Meeting such an accomplished colleague as Rupert, she couldn’t help but admire him.

If initially she had no interest in this man whatsoever, now she had to admit she felt a degree of admiration and

respect.

Thalia smiled, offering sincere praise: “I had no idea you were so accomplished at such a young age. It would be my privilege to have you as a partner.”

Rupert maintained his refined demeanor, his voice gentle: “You’re too kind, Ms. Winters.”

Victoria mumbled to herself nearby: “Perfect match! They’re absolutely perfect together!”

Charlotte laughed, nudging Victoria with her elbow. “What on earth are you going on about?”

“I’m just stating the obvious. Don’t you think they make a brilliant pair? Both solicitors with common interests, both attractive–I’m quite invested in this potential relationship.”

Thalía turned to Rupert with slight embarrassment. “My friend enjoys making jokes. Please don’t mind her.”
