First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 

The receptionist was responsible for ordering afternoon tea. 

She remembered very clearly that there was no afternoon tea today. 

Mariela looked up, completely confused, “What afternoon tea? I didn’t know.” 

“Hmm? You don’t know either? That’s strange then.” 

Mariela followed the receptionist girl outside and saw the tables in the lobby filled with takeout, her face full of confusion. 

“Maybe it’s Mr. Santos or other lawyers?” the receptionist girl said. 

She meant Simon, the other partner of the law firm. 

Today, the law firm signed a big contract and received a substantial remittance. It was natural for Simon to order everyone’s food. He must be happy too. 

Mariela took a photo and sent it to the group chat of lawyers, asking them who ordered the food. 

Isabel:“Wow, is there afternoon tea today too? I have a court hearing outside. Save some for me.” 

Roger:“It isn’t me. I have a court hearing later.” 

Bryce:“I ordered coffee this morning. Not me.” 

Simon:“Not me.” 

Isabel:“Wow, is it? So kind.”

Mariela wondering when suddenly a familiar face appeared in her mind. 

Was it him? 

Mariela was thinking when her phone rang. 

Mariela fell silent as she looked at the familiar string of numbers. 

She deleted Lennon from her phone contacts, but she still remembered that string of numbers by heart. 

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mariela answered the phone. 

“Do you receive the food?” Lennon’s voice was filled with obvious delight, captivating and alluring. 

“It is indeed you,” Mariela lowered her head. It was hard to guess whether she was angry or happy. 

“Guessed it?” Lennon chuckled softly, “Bryce invited me for coffee, and I treated him to afternoo tea. I never like owing anyone.” 

When he went to the law firm today, he noticed that there were many young people. 

Those receptionists, assistants, and most of the lawyers all appeared to be young people under the

age of thirty. 

He specifically asked his assistant Thomas what the young people who were working now like to eat and drink. 

Thomas rambled on and on. 

Lennon said, “Order Marie’s law firm food and drinks. Do it yourself.” 

Did Bryce buy everyone’s hearts by treating them to coffee? Then he should treat them to afternoon tea. 

Thomas had always been thoughtful. 

As Lennon’s assistant, Thomas knew his feelings for Mariela. 

Since Mariela was the girl Lennon liked, he must order something nice. 

The coffee he ordered was made of the best coffee beans. The fruits he bought were all expensive imported ones. The cakes he bought were also the best. 

Mariela’s mouth twitched when she heard this. 

Was it really because he didn’t like owing others? 

She didn’t bear to expose him. 

In the morning, he told his assistant that this was like his own law firm. Now, he secretly competed with Bryce.
