Vincent ordered a Michelin 2-star private restaurant.
Before that, Maya had never considered eating at such a restaurant.
She followed Sophia into the restaurant door, and a smiling waiter greeted them, confirmed the names and identities of the two, and led them to a table by the window. While walking, he explained to the two of them: "I’m Owen, your waiter today. Mr. Walker called and said that there is a traffic jam on the road, and apologized that he might be late for around 10 minutes."
On the table, two glasses of cocktails have been set. Owen hinted over a colleague as he pulled chairs for them, helped them sit down, then gestured and said: "Mr.Walker ordered for you. Speical mix today. It’s plum juice with a small amount of lime and mint. Refreshing taste. You can try it while you wait."
Soup of the day is creamy pumpkin bisque. Espresso buffalo milk and top-quality pumpkin from organic pastures are ground and stirred for a long time to achieve the ultimate soft taste. The chef added a little Chinese rattan pepper to the seasoning, bringing a very unique experience.With a spoon in hand, Sophia mixed the creamy latte art with the pumpkin soup. Stirring mindlessly, she asked Vincent: "Why does she wants a divorce? Did you ask the reason?""Are you actually asked me to ask her why?!" Vincent put down the tableware in his hand with a wronged face, "She said she doesn't love me anymore, how could I ask her why she doesn't love me?""It's reasonable, I asked the wrong question." Sophia corrected it kindly, and changed the question, "Then why do you love her even more? She is trying to divorce you, with e
Maya called the bank.The customer service verified her identity politely and patiently before helping her inquire about the movement of the joint account."Hello, Ms. Morison. According to the records, your joint account has made 13 purchases in the past month, with a total amount of 103,724.18 US dollars. The latest purchase of 89,700 US dollars shows that the place of consumption is a Tesla experience store. In addition, the account shows that your housing loan is partially overdue, and you are expected to receive a reminder within 3 days."The voice of the customer service was gentle and sweet, but what she said made Maya's face completely dark.100,000 bucks! In one month! The money he spent was close to her annual income!
The first court session was on a Wednesday morning.Maya is ready for everything.The beige suit skirt and light makeup make people look dignified and gentle. The outline of the statement can ensure that even if you forget your words nervously in court, there will be reminders. A lucky pendant, which is Sophia's suggestion, worn on the wrist, covered with her sleeve. Sophia told her to touch it whenever she felt intense emotion in the courtroom to remine herself to be calm. It’s important to leave a positive, positive impression on the judge.The pendant is a pearl. Sarah gave her as an induction gift years ago. She is the person who can give Maya the most positive emotions, and the thing she gave is the most suitable.This is the first time in Maya's life th
Yeah, why?Why did Jason rage, curse, and go out of his way to cause trouble, to act in front of a judge, but not get a divorce?Maya asked herself that there was nothing particularly valuable about her that Jason could hold on to so persistently. If in the four years before his rebirth, she was indeed a good wife who was helpful to his career, then under the current situation, it is impossible for her to do anything for Jason.So what is he doing?Sophia's analysis and direction are spot on. If the reason for this is not clear, then after the recording is authenticated, Jason would definitely find other ways to delay the lawsuit.Find out why he is procrastinating is curcial."I
Damian really was angry. He wouldn't have come back to the law firm at this time just to ask Maya this question if otherwise. And his anger was ignited by Jason himself not long ago.Today, his friend and regular client Raymond Wilson had a new problem. After meeting and discussing the entrusted matters clearly, they went to have a meal together, strengthened their relationship, and talked about his needs in depth.A normal working day. Because they are so familiar with each other, it made the work almost pleasant.And this is when Jason chose to make his entry.Just as Damian was having a good chat with Raymond, and was about to leave the restaurant, he saw Jason at the door.When their eyes met, Damian didn't move, nor did he take the initiative to say hello. The last time they talked was when Jason called and questioned him about his “attempts to break up their marriage”. The groundless accusation was Jason's fault, so Damian deemed Jason to be the one who should apologize. If h
The street after 8pm had few to no cars, leaving them an empty road. Biking under the night sky, Maya and Damian was like two swift fish, swimming side by side in the es are like two swimming fish, moving forward flexibly side by side in the channel of the road network.The two cars staggered back and forth from time to time, and the distance also changed from time to time as the road changed. Whenever they were side by side at close range, the two would exchange a sentence or two.At first, Maya panicked when Damian stared at her and asked if she needed help.In two lifetimes, she had never seen this side of Damian until today. His eyes were no longer gentle, and his majesty was terrifyingly more majestic, as if his stare could do an instant kill the moment she says somethi
Investigating takes time. Waiting for the results of investigating takes something harder – patience.Maya was originally thankful that besides dealing with Jason, she also had a client's divorce case to take care of in the meantime, to distract her attention and make the waiting less painful.However, it turns out that the client's divorce case is not easy.After meeting the client who seemed too detached, she and Sophia made a call to the client's current wife, Violet Stone.Violet's voice sounded slightly hoarse, revealing a bit of gentle and blurry charm. But what she said had nothing to do with gentleness at all: "Vincent finally pulled it together and asked you to handle the divorce?"Sophia took out her most professional tone and replied steadily: "As a lawyer, I have the obligation to fulfill the client's request. So no matter what, I must first ask you, under what conditions will you agree to continue working with Mr. Walker remains married?""If it's about this, then there'
Damian is very punctual. Maya went downstairs two minutes early and waited at the door. Surely enough, two minutes later, a familiar figure appeared in front of her on a bicycle.They said hello and the pizza delivery arrived soon after.Maya prepared various drinks which piled up half the table. The takeaway was opened, and inside was a 9-inch pizza, with snacks such as cod sticks, chicken wings, and onion rings, filling the other half of the dining table.Damian looked at the tables already occupied by eating and drinking, and at the loveseat at the other end of the hall, and asked her, "Eat first, then discuss?"The piles of food on the table brought Maya back to the time when she was in law school. At the end of
"Then what's the point?" Damian shrugged, "Let's eat talk about it."He threw the dumpling into his mouth and ate it."Sophia and the others, do they all know that you are leaving?" Maya felt her mind was a little confused, so she found the simplest question and threw it away first."Them? They should have always known that this day would come." Damian thought for a while, "But I haven't officially announce anything on the date."Well, that means she was probably the first to know that he was returning to the family business. Maya felt a subtle sense of psychological satisfaction."Okay." Maya shrugged, "I never thought you would inheriting the family business. It feels bit sudden."Before today, Damian in her mind had always been a reliable senior, a peer who called each other. He is indeed much richer than her, but he doesn't have obvious rich habits, which is completely different from Vincent and the like. She also hadn't considered the possibility of his identity changing.Now, s
In a cafe near the law firm.Maya sat by the window, watching the number of people in the store getting fewer and fewer, watching the sunlight on the street outside the window getting darker and darker, and the lights getting brighter and brighter. People who were in a hurry to get off work left, and people who went out for a walk or play after dinner appeared again.She only took a sip of the coffee placed in front of her. A book open on the table, and not even one page turned. She peeled off the skin on the edge of her thumbs, and she couldn’t even feel the pain.Damian took Jason away.What will they talk about? Will Jason take another chance to get something out of Damian?Although she was well aware of Damian's intelligence and ability, she still couldn't help but worry. After all, Jason got into trouble because of her.Finally, a familiar voice appeared outside the window.Maya stood up immediately and couldn't wait to greet Damian when he stepped into the store door and asked,
"You're the one who's crazy alright?!" Unable to escape, Maya gritted her teeth and retorted.It was after hours. People are going in and out of the building. Not want to be the center of an ugly gossip, Maya lowered her voice when he didn’t turn to violence too fast.Her wrist still hurt from being squeezed."The client that Damian introduced to me!" Jason seemed really anxious. He ignored Maya's scolding and raised his hand to pull her forward, "Don't say you don't know!""What should I know?!" He used too much force, and Maya felt that her wrist was about to be broken. In pain, she began to struggle again.Based on the key words of Jason's question, she had some guesses about his question.Could it be that something happened so quickly to the customer Damian told her about?"You really don't know?" Jason snorted angrily.He gritted his teeth and stared at her for a long time, looking at her expression as she focused on staying away from him. Finally, he took two deep breaths, nodde
"Legal Advisor" Damian is very professional. After receiving the payment, he helped "client" Maya sort out several typical emotional needs, and attached possible manifestations, as well as replacement conditions that can be used for negotiation.For Maya, the "client", the process of payment is pleasant both physically and mentally, and the advice received is very professional and of high reference value. The only minor drawback was that after the payment, the client felt a little mentally exhausted, but the consultant insisted on finishing the consulting.Of course, the advice itself was good.Based on the suggestion, Maya asked Tanya to review her relationship experience, try to judge her husband's psychological needs, and then design tests to determine the negotiation plan.But her proposal encountered a slight setback.Tanya is unwilling to carry out the plan or even review the life between the two of them."No, no, no. Looking back now, every detail tells me that I was a fool." T
Breaths entwine with each other.Maya felt that she might have been bewitched in some way.The cold woody aroma of Damian's body mixed with his own scent, creating a thick, warm undertone, but almost cold to the touch, like mint and snow. This breath is just like him. When it is first touched, it is cold and sharp, stimulating people to wake up. When the mellow and warm part penetrates, people are already immersed in it unconsciously.She sniffed this smell, hooked her smooth muscles on her shoulders, and touched her lips and tongue repeatedly with him. Nothing else mattered, and the two of them became each other's center, as if souls had been exchanged through such a touch.And Damian was obviously as immersed in it as she was. He held her back with one hand and pressed the nape of her neck, while the other hand was pressed against her lower back, rubbing it unconsciously as he moved.After an unknown amount of time, Maya's waist touched something a little hard. The thing seemed to a
"It's not too difficult to be prepared." Damian raised his hand to wipe offher frown, "But providing solutions will cost you morein my bill.""No problem!" Maya immediately regained her relaxed posture, raised her hands, and asked him to hurry up and continue serving. Non worriedat all whether she, as a “customer”, was being too generous.Damian seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. The hand that was pressing on her forehead slid down smoothly, and the back of his hand lightly rubbed her cheek before taking it back and spoke unhurriedly:"The only common methods used by people like them are coaxing, threatening, and buying. Coaxing is not suitable for people who are familiar with it. According to your information, he used to control your customers before, mainly using so-called legal threats. Now, this approach doesn’t work, so the only option left is bribery.”&n
When the two were sitting on the sofa reading a book together, Maya chatted with Damian about Tanya's case.She and Damian were shoulder to shoulder, and the book she held in her hands hadn't turned a page for nearly ten minutes. She had read a passage three or four times, but she didn't really remember what the book said. All she could think about was what Sophia said a few days ago."It seems like a waste of resources if you don't ask him."Sophia's encouragement has helped her overcome the psychological barrier of "exploiting relationships outside of work". Damian is by your side now, and you can ask for his opinion just by opening your mouth.So, should she speak up?Considering the issue of customer privacy, should she obtain first Tanya’s consent before discussing with a third person?She bit her lip and hesitated, but she didn't notice that Damian had put down the book in his hand at some point and tilted his head to look at her.After watching for a while, Damian finally touch
Tanya burst out laughing, though someone just looked her in the eye and said harsh words."Ah, I was too slowly today. I should have told him before he left that asking you to be my lawyer was the most correct decision I have ever made!" She laughed so hard she bent over with her hand on her her stomach, almost fell on the table.After finally laughing enough, she stood up, walked to the two female lawyers, and gave them each a hug: "Really, thank you. Sophia, Maya, if you have seen how my conversation with him ended last time, you will understand how happy I truly am today!"Seeing Tanya's smile and hearing her words, Maya truly understood Sophia's intentions."But I angered him. If he goes back today, he will probably discuss a solution with your husband and embarrass you." Sophia tilted her head and reminded Tanya.And not sure whether it was because Tanya was too happy or because she really didn't care, she waved her hand and said, "Let them think of a solution. At least today I k
Maya doesn't want to take the time to hear what Jason did. But she was really curious about the method Damian used to stop Jason from causing trouble."I just gave him a client." Damian's eyes were still very sincere when he told the story, "This client is a bit troublesome to me, but it is an opportunity for him. If he can restrain his desire, nothing bad will happen. .”Maya felt that behind his sincerity, she also saw cunning. A very flexible and calm cunning. This made her look forward to Jason’s choice with this client.Her expectations were so strong that when she was working, she would get distracted from time to time, imagining the scene where the two people were left to their own devices, facing the court's judgment."You were a little distracted today." Tanya's voice woke Maya up.Maya was startled, quickly recovered, and looked up at Tanya. But the look in Tanya’s eyes was not dissatisfaction, but rather, gossip."Anything fun and happy? Why don't you tell me?" Tanya rested
