Chapter 260
Audrey was flustered and simply replied, “Okay.”
Audrey and Ryan seemed to be on cloud nine as he drove her back home, possibly due to their newly confirmed relationship.

Ryan tightly held Audrey’s hand, and whenever they stopped at a red light, he would cup back of her head and passionately kiss her.
the
Only when the light turned green would Ryan reluctantly release the nearly suffocated Audrey.
Seeing her breathing heavily, he kissed her hand.
When they reached Audrey’s place, her lips were red, as if they could drip blood at any
moment.
The bodyguard, who was following behind Audrey’s car, had already opened the door for her.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Ryan. “Remember to have lunch when Will you join me for dinner?”
you can.
“I’ll call you before 5:00 pm.” Ryan’s gaze was glued to Audrey, unwilling to move away
even for a moment.
“Drive safely!”
After Audrey closed the car door, she waved to Ryan before walking toward the apartment.
Ryan finally drove away after watching Audrey’s figure disappear into the elevator.
Back at home, Audrey tossed her bag and herself onto the couch, her hands covering her burning face.
She only realized she had agreed to be together with him after snapping back from their intense exchange.
She must have been dazzled by lust and lost her mind.
Audrey touched her swollen and sore lips, recalling the ferocious expression on Ryan’s face when he kissed her. It was a stark contrast to his usual gentlemanly demeanor.
She bit down on her thumb.

But she didn’t regret it.
No, she couldn’t think about it anymore.
Audrey sat up, changed into her loungewear, and sat on the living room carpet to continue reading the unfinished documents.
She finally managed to shake off the constant thoughts of Ryan temporarily as she focused on her work.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Audrey glanced at the darkening sky outside before getting up.
She saw that the bodyguard had come to change shifts from the surveillance feed.
She opened the door.
The bodyguard informed, “Julian said that Mr. Lambert Senior asked Mr. Ryan to come back to his place for dinner tonight, so Mr. Ryan won’t be able to come over for dinner tonight.
“He couldn’t reach you by phone and was worried something was wrong.”
Audrey suddenly remembered that Ryan had probably silenced her phone in the dressing room earlier.
She nodded. “Okay, got it.”
Remembering how Lily had mentioned that Ryan’s previous visits to George’s place hadn’t been pleasant, Audrey wondered if there would be another argument this time.
Audrey realized it should have been Peter coming for the shift change as she closed the door.
She casually asked, “Shouldn’t it be Peter coming over at this time?”
“It was supposed to be,” the bodyguard confirmed. “But when Peter was having lunch with his girlfriend this afternoon, they encountered some trouble and ended up at the police
station.”
Audrey was surprised.
Based on her understanding of Peter during this period, she was certain that he wasn’t someone who would cause trouble.
“What happened?”
“I’m not sure, but I heard someone inexplicably beat him up. He fought back to defend his girlfriend, and now the other party’s lawyer is saying they want Peter to spend some time in jail.

“The lawyer is apparently quite famous, claiming to be the chief legal counsel of some group.”
For some reason, Audrey suddenly thought of Edmond, the chief legal counsel of the Franklin Group.
