First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405 

Mariela laughed, “Of course. The person you recommend must be reliable.”

It was just an expression of politeness. In fact, Mariela was cautious at work. If the guy became a partner, Mariela would share risks and profits with him. Mariela had to know the background and professional abilities of the guy in detail as much as she could. 

Bryce said gently, “I intend to invest 4.8 million dollars. At the same time, I would practice law under the name of your firm. The contract can be signed at any time.” 

Mariela smiled and stretched out her hand to Bryce.“I do appreciate people as straightforward as you, Mr. Vance. Wish us pleasant cooperation.” 

Bryce stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mariela, answering, “Of course.” 

After lunch, Bryce politely asked, “Today is a memorable day. May I take a photo with you, my partner?” 

It is normal for both parties to take a photo together as a memento. Mariela didn’t think much about it and replied with a smile, “Sure, why not?” Bryce asked the waiter to take a group photo for him and Mariela. 

In the photo, Bryce and Mariela stood together, and there was a gentle smile on Mariela’s face. 

Bryce also smiled happily. 

Originally, it was a full–body photo. Bryce and Mariela maintained a normal social distance, and no misunderstanding could have been 

aroused. 

However, Bryce cropped the photo and removed the lower part of the photo. Then, the picture looked different. Regardless of the background, it resembled the photo for a marriage certificate. 

Bryce posted the photo on Instagram that afternoon. 

The copywriting was “A special day.” 

Bryce was cunning to write like that. 

It was Valentine’s Day, but Bryce didn’t write any messages like “Happy Valentine’s Day‘ to make people easily misunderstand his relationship with Mariela. Bryce knew it would upset Mariela. 

However, Bryce didn’t write a straightforward message like “Pleasant cooperation” that would make nobody misunderstand, either. 

The ambiguous “A special day” was just perfect. 

It wouldn’t make Mariela feel offended, but would make Lennon misunderstand. 

Carsen was one of Bryce’s followers on Instagram. Bryce had taken charge of several cases for Carsen’s company. 

This Instagram post would surely be seen by Carsen. 

Considering Carsen and Lennon’s relationship, this post would definitely be seen by Lennon. 

After posting on Instagram, Bryce put away his phone, leaned back on the couch, and savored a glass of wine, feeling content.
