Gregory Larsen thought to himself, although this little girl can play golf, girls usually don’t have much strength. There’s no guarantee she’ll even reach the green, and even if she does, it’ll take eight or nine strokes. Losing a bit of money for a smile from a beauty is worth it. Talia smiled with a closed mouth, "Having dinner with you is fine, but betting money is dull. Let’s bet something else." "What does Lawyer Rhodes want to bet on?" "If I can hit the ball onto the green within ten strokes, Mr. Larsen should sign a one-year legal advisory and case representation contract with our law firm. If I take fewer strokes, extend it by another year. If I make it onto the green in one shot, let’s sign a ten-year contract, with all your company’s cases entrusted to us for representation during that period. How about it?" Gregory Larsen chuckled, thinking this girl was quite sharp. Not interested in the small sums, but aiming for a big deal. The Tenward Group, such a big company, the number of cases in one year is enough to sustain their firm for an entire year. She was underestimated. Gregory Larsen turned his head, jokingly saying to the law firm’s director, "Old Liu, where did you find Lawyer Rhodes? So dedicated, always thinking about your firm’s interests. I want to poach her for legal work in my company." The director laughed and replied, "Haha, Mr. Larsen, you’re joking." Finding it amusing, Gregory Larsen agreed with a smile, "Since Lawyer Rhodes suggested using a contract as a stake, let’s do it that way. As long as Lawyer Rhodes is happy." Talia gave a sweet smile, "Okay." The caddie handed over the club, Talia took it and swung it lightly. Gregory Larsen, a bit sycophantic, smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad! Lawyer Rhodes seems to have talent." Talia curved her lips in a smile without speaking, positioned herself, and sized up the angle, "Mr. Larsen, I’m afraid you’re going to concede." Fresh chapters posted on novel fire.net Before Gregory Larsen could understand the meaning of her words, Talia had already swung the club smoothly and elegantly. The small white ball forged a perfect arc in the air, landing securely on the green. Gregory Larsen was left gawking. She actually made it to the green in one shot. The law firm’s director couldn’t hold back and clapped, "Beautiful!" Talia walked onto the green, made a stylish putt into the hole, her smile radiant, "Mr. Larsen, one shot onto the green, as agreed, your company will sign a ten-year entrustment representation contract and legal advisory contract with our law firm." Gregory Larsen snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but clap in praise, "Good! Good! Never would have thought, Lawyer Rhodes plays so skillfully. More polished than I am, and you said you only know a little, you’re too modest." Talia pursed her lips into a smile, "You’re flattering me, Mr. Larsen." The director was grinning from ear to ear on the side, this was a ten-year legal advisory and entrustment representation contract! Today, he thought he would bring Talia Rhodes over as a mere playing partner, let Mr. Larsen have fun, then talk about signing the contract. Instead, Talia Rhodes directly scored Tenward Group’s ten-year contract! In his many years of career, he never cracked such a big deal single-handedly, the director felt a bit humbled. Over there, Edward Shelby nudged Adrian Jennings with his elbow, gesturing with his mouth, "Your ex-girlfriend is quite good, a hole-in-one onto the green. Her moves look as professional as a golfer." Adrian Jennings turned to watch, a hint of fondness in his eyes, seeming rather proud, "Talia was a champion in the national youth tournament back in high school." "Well, well." Edward Shelby’s look was sly, "Someone’s feeling proud, look at that expression, like your own kid brought home an award." Adrian Jennings’ eyebrows softened, "She is my own kid, isn’t she?" Edward Shelby casually said, "Who knows what those two guys are laughing and chatting about so merrily." The words just fell out, and the tenderness and smile vanished from Adrian Jennings’ face in an instant. He handed the club over to the caddie, stride started over to that side. "Eh? Where are you going?" Edward Shelby followed. Adrian Jennings’ expression was mildly cold, his tone void of warmth, "Going to talk business." "Talk business?" Edward Shelby confused, "With whom?" Lifting his eyes and seeing the three laughing cheerfully nearby, Edward Shelby immediately caught on. Jealousy brewing, about to give those two old fogeys something to do, or they wouldn’t stop hovering around Talia. He couldn’t take it anymore. Edward Shelby snickered to himself, that one held back for so long before finally bursting. Adrian Jennings stopped in front of Talia, the sunlight casting a small shadow. Talia standing in Adrian Jennings’ shadow looked up at him, dressed in dark gray sportswear as usual, exuding a chilly style. Why again? Talia wondered quietly. Gregory Larsen was also puzzled, the Jennings Group’s president he usually found hard to meet, even when seen was aloof, why today approached twice to greet actively, did something possess him? Adrian Jennings with hands in pockets, leisurely posture, tone hinting nonchalance, "Mr. Larsen, I remember last time you expressed interest in collaborating with our Starcrest?" Starcrest is a hotel brand under the Jennings Group. Gregory Larsen hearing the Jennings Group president initiate talk about collaboration eagerly responded, nodding, "Yes, yes, Mr. Jennings, Tenward has long wanted to cooperate with Starcrest, mentioned at the gala before, you were busy then, said to talk another time, today is a good chance, we all have spare time, no day better than today." Gregory Larsen raised wrist to see his watch, smilingly offered, "It’s almost time for lunch now, why don’t we book a restaurant and chat over a meal?" Adrian Jennings’ gaze seemingly inadvertently swept past Talia, soon retracting, replied with a cool voice, "Okay." Gregory Larsen delighted inside. Beside, the law firm’s director tactfully interjected, "Well Mr. Jennings, Mr. Larsen, you two discuss first, I’ll leave with young Lawyer Rhodes, Mr. Larsen, we’ll talk about signing the contract next time." Talia silently stood by, staring at the ground shadow of Adrian Jennings, who knows what thoughts occupied her, hearing it was time to go, she shook off the daze, ready to leave with the director. Gregory Larsen replied, "Sure, Old Liu, about signing the contract I’ll find you tomorrow afternoon, since I lost to Lawyer Rhodes just now, pre-agreed matters will definitely honor, I’m a man of my word." Actually, Gregory Larsen purposefully said this for Adrian Jennings to hear, aiming for a favorable impression for Starcrest collaboration under the Jennings Group. However, Adrian Jennings hardly focused on these. Only noticing Talia about to leave. Adrian Jennings’ voice indifferent, no emotion detected, seemed genuinely unconcerned, "Since you all came together, why not stay for a meal together."
