Chapter 340
As Ascend Law Firm look on more and more cases, the firm had recently hired another round of attorneys and legal assistants. The HR, finance, and administrative departments also brought in several new team members.
With the firm expanding, its internal structure and regulations were becoming increasingly well–organized.
Thanks to Sean, the staff now enjoyed alternoon tea every couple of days. The entire atmosphere had noticeably lightened, and Charlotte could clearly see that everyone was more motivated. Work efflelency had improved significantly.
She had to admit that Sean’s “lactic” was actually working.
The only downside was that Sean had started showing up at the finu two or even three times a week.
He called it “inspecting the work,” but Charlotte had no idea what his real intentions were. Every time he appeared, the young women in the office would act like they had just been injected with adrenaline. They would sneak glances at him constantly, visibly distracted from their work.
This afternoon, Sean came again.

Sean sat quietly on the couch, sipping his tea without interrupting.

Her skin was radiant and fair, with a warm, peach–like glow. Her nose was perfectly shaped, and her long lashes trembled like butterfly wings.
Sean stared at her, his Adam’s apple bobbing unconsciously.
She was beautiful.
He wanted to kiss her.
Maybe she sensed his intense gaze, because Charlotte suddenly turned to look at him.
Their eyes met in the air.
Charlotte’s fingers paused over the keyboard. She frowned slightly.
“I do,” Sean replied, amused. “Just sneaking in a break.”
