Brittany smiled, trying to keep her tone light.
"I’m just going to consult a lawyer, not to fight. It’s not like I’m going to get into trouble."
She paused, then added, "Besides, you’re with me, right? You’re so capable. I’m sure you’ll protect me."
Emily couldn’t help but laugh, though she was also a bit exasperated by her words.
"You’re always buttering me up!" she said, shaking her head helplessly. "Alright, alright. You win. I’ll go with you, okay?"
Seeing Emily finally give in, Brittany’s face lit up with a radiant smile. "I knew it, Emily. You’re the best!"
"Stop it!" Emily shot back. Though deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.
Brittany might seem gentle on the surface, but she was incredibly stubborn.
Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.
