It was pouring Monday morning, and the road started to get stuck in traffic. Maya ended the Uber order halfway and walked nearly two miles to the office on foot. She was in a hurry, out of breath, and still late. Fortunately, a large number of colleagues in the law firm's work system were reporting late, and the partners also notified the team, and all work arrangements were postponed for half an hour. Even though with an umbrella, her clothes still got wet, and the damp and cold breath seeped into her skin, making her feel sticky and cold. She threw the umbrella in the bag on the ground, took out the computer in the bag to make sure it wasn't wet, and couldn't help shivering a little when she was about to sit down. It was too cold. She stomped her feet, opened the drawer and took out the cup, then turned and went to the pantry. Even if the coffee in the law firm is terrible, something hot would be nice. Various machines in the tea room have been started, and new coffee powder and
Sophia was wearing a gray-purple suit, with one side of her golden half-length curly hair tucked behind the ears while the other side loose, looking at them with a smile. When Maya met her for the first time, with her blond hair, blue eyes, and the way she spoke, Maya thought she just met a female version of Jason. But after talking to her, she found that they are completely different—Jason was good at making everything look simple and easy, acting as if there is no big deal; while Sophia had a sharp and direct character, never avoiding problems, but will hit the nail on the head and point out the problem. They did share the same eye color, but that blue was a kind of inducing gentleness on Jason, yet it become a sharp knife that penetrates everything on Sophia. When she looks directly at you, you feel forced to the corner, and could only face her with utter honesty. Right now her blue eyes were not at its sharpest, but her natural daring aura on her cannot be ignored. Damian did
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Maya is at the desk, checking whether there are any omissions in the agreement document given to the client. This kind of work requires concentration and meticulousness, but it is also boring and makes people feel sleepy. She supported her chin with her left hand, trying to hold on to one point and one point to look down. It's been over a month since the investigator was found and hired to investigate Jason's movements. During this period, she received some photos that she didn't even want to see, and she bascially knew what Jason had been doing. But the time has not been right. During this period, Jason's crazy phone calls came several times. When can there be a little change? The words on the screen in front of her eyes began to become crooked, Maya woke up startled, and found that she had been staring at the same line for a while. She stretched her waist to wake herself up a bit, and then went back to the text, trying to focus, and continue
It was more than an hour before the time Jerry said. While packing up her things, Maya was thinking about what kind of image she should appear in and what kind of preparations she should make. First of all, she cannot show up too early. Gotta give them time to let the scene get chaotic. Only by appearing suddenly in the chaos will there be enough impact to see Jason's most authentic reaction. Moreover, if she arrived too early, it would be blatantly telling others that she went there with a plan. Also, it has to be in a hurry. Rush over from where she lives? Or from the office? Maybe home is better, after 9:00, even if there is work, it’s time to take it home and deal with it. Eat well in advance. Once she sees Jason, she will definitely have negative emotions, and it may take a lot of energy to argue. If she was still hungry when that happened, it would be too miserable. Pour out the remaining water in the cup, put the computer in the bag, and take the book "Zen and the Art of Mot
When the two talked, Maya vaguely listened to the general idea, feeling disgusted and inexplicably wanting to laugh. Indecent is indecent, yet they had such a unique way of saying it without saying it, as if instead of setting loose their darkest desire, they are actually enduring the humiliation and mading it difficult for themselves to expand their business and develop customers. Can the two of them really convince themselves? Shouldn't they be praised, worthy of being lawyers, they are indeed unique in the use of language? From this point of view, in his last life, the high income that Jason got early, including the millions he hid, was obtained through such occasions, the clients here? When she thought that she had spent so much money and lived ignorantly for four years, Maya felt huge absurdity. Ridiculous and disgusting. She bit her teeth, frowned, took out her mobile phone, took a dozen photos of Jason and the environment around him, and put the mobile phone into the pocket
"I do have a few more words to say." The conflict was interrupted, and it was not easy to return to that tense situation. Maya quickly regained her train of thought - there were still some questions that Jason needed to answer with a few more words. She quietly clenched her fists with both hands and told herself: There is nothing to be angry about, and there is nothing to feel wronged for. Isn’t the purpose of coming here today to suffer some grievances, to leave some evidence, and to have an explanation when explaining to family, friends, and lawyers in the future? It's just that Jason's performance is worse than expected, there is no fundamental difference. Repeating these silently, she restrained herself and didn't touch the air pod hidden under her hair on the right side. Then, she took a deep breath, took two steps towards the less smoky place outside, turned her head, and took a deep look at Jason and his friend with a provocative meaning: "However, there is no need to open a
Damian's presence was too astonishing. Neither Maya nor Jason could react in time. Maya was simply surprised, so surprised that she was overwhelmed. Jason, on the other hand, seemed impatient with "trouble is coming" written on his face. Countless questions and thoughts flashed across Maya's mind in an instant. Why is Damian here? He also came to participate in this kind of events? Are all the crazy things Jason said just now were true? Anyone who wants to be successful in this world has to dance with the chaos and filth? Damian, too???! Instinctively, she felt that this was impossible, but the fact that she couldn't find an exp
Maya went out, striding towards the elevator.Behind him, Jason could be vaguely heard shouting angrily: "You are my fucking friend, can you let go of your desire to educate everyone and actually BE a fucking friend?!"Damian quickly followed Maya. They entered the elevator together, closed the door, and watched the elevator floors jump down one by one. Then, with a "ding", the elevator door opened and the lobby arrived.And Maya's breath finally calmed down.Her mind was full of doubts.Why is Damian here? Did he come for her and Jason?But how did he know they were here?Did he know they were arguing before he came?
