2023-07-14 22:47:57"If I have a showdown with Jason and tell him that if he doesn't agree to a divorce, I'm going to talk to the client he wants. What do you think?" At the dessert shop near Scarlet Park on Saturday afternoon, Maya asked a similar question to Damian.
Because she couldn’t draw conclusions on her own in the end.
Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is technically blackmail, and needless to say, there are legal problems to it. Not to mention, in Maya's own moral system, she also instinctively rejects this way of acting in a gray area.
However, vying for customers can be regarded as an ordinary business practice, and disclosing the key information that Jason concealed to his customers has a righteous side, right?

On the day of the meeting with Jason, Damian insisted on going with Maya."I know you don't want him to continue slandering our relationship. But he has used violence on your before, and Sophia can't come." He grabbed Maya's arm through her sleeve, and the strength of his hand clearly expressed his determination.Threating someone is harder to do through a phone, so Maya has to see Jason again.As a lawyer, Sophia cannot know that the client she represents has done something that may be illegal.Maya was actually a little nervous too.According to her rational judgment, Jason has a certain degree of control when he is not drinking, and it is unlikely that

Maya spread out the photos in her hand one by one in front of Jason. From left to right, one is next to the other, neatly arranged.Her hands are steady, which shows that her emotions are not affected by his small movements.After seeing the picture she put down clearly, Jason's face darkened. He pressed Maya's wrist and asked in a bad tone, "What exactly do you want to say?""Be patient." Maya tried to withdraw her hand, but Jason held it tight.So Maya gave up pulling back her hand.She calmly looked at Jason's angry staring eyes, and handed him the rest of the unopened photos with her uncaught left hand: "If you want, you can take it and take a look at it yourself."

When it was time to leave work, the bar music changed from soothing blues to jazz. The resident band came on stage, talking and laughing while adjusting instruments and equipment.Maya and Damian ordered a full table in the bar, burgers, Taco, sandwiches, snack plates, beer... Rich in style and smells luring, stimulate the taste buds enough.She held up a huge beer glass and took a big gulp. The cold wine slides into the throat with bubbles, stimulating and refreshing. She put the wine glass on the table with a "boom", exhaled and smiled, "Today is the happiest day I have had in the past six months."Saying this, Maya thought about it carefully, and said, "No, it's the happiest day in many, many years!"After drinking and laughing, she realized that many things after reb

Maya is back soon.The bartender followed her with a new platter of alcohol.The table was replaced with a new one, and the three clinked glasses again.These wines all have their own fancy names. Maya seldom drinks alcohol and can't remember what name is what wine. I just feel that some have a fruity aroma, and some smell refreshing, but they are quite spicy in the throat.After a few rounds, everyone was a little liquored up.Maya's movements started to stagger a bit. Sophia kept humming to the music in the store.Only Damian, just unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt, revealing a little flushed neck, and nothing else indicates that he had any alcohol at all.

"Okay. Then let's go together." Maya stood up straight and remembered to take her bag.I don't know if it was self-hypnosis that got into the show, or the alcohol gradually seeped into her blood. After standing up, she was dizzy for a while, and she didn't know what she should do first and what to do next, and her movements involuntarily slowed down.The weight in her hand reminded her that she had a bag.She lowered her head, made sure that nothing was left behind, and that the bag was well covered, then turned to look at the crowd: "Sophia...""Sophia told us not to wait for her," Damian reminded from behind her."Oh yes, she went to have fun." Maya looked at the crowd, slightly dazed, her eyes lost focus for a moment, and

To avoid embarrassment, Maya decides to stay away from Damian.Fortunately, they are not in the same department, and there is very little business overlap. As long as she reduces the frequency of going to the bathroom and tea room, the goal of "less encounters" can be achieved very effectively.In the remaining three working days of the week, she only met Damian twice. Once in the meeting area and once at the gate.The first time, when she saw him from a distance, she quickened her pace and passed him very quickly, only saying hello.The second time, she entered the door together with him, then pointed to the direction of her department's office area, and said, "Sophia and the client are waiting for me."

"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.

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

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.

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?
