Heart Hunting

The Bailey Law Firm was functioning normally.

Knock, knock, knock!

The knock on the door interrupted Poppy's work.

“Come in”

Wythe Lynn's assistant, led by a secretary, walked in Poppy’s office. Seeing that it was him, Poppy raised the corner of her mouth and put down her pen, "Did Mr. Lynn ask you to come over?"

The assistant nodded and placed a file bag in front of her, "This is what Mr. Lynn asked me to send over to you."

"Didn't he have a message for me?"

This made Poppy a little surprised.

"He said he'd reach out to you. Miss Green, since I have done what I should do, I'll be off."

Not long after the assistant left, Wythe Lynn called. Having the a million RMB check in her hand, she answered the call, "Mr Lynn, what do you mean by giving me the check?"

Wythe Lynn said in a straight forard manner, "Miss Green, that check represents my sincerity to you with regard to the bet we got. I am willing to admit I lost the bet. The check is considered to be the stake in our bet, because I am not going to make an imprsssion by immitating pig squealing. Always give people an out and don’t push them too hard. I believe Miss Green should understand such a simple truth."

Poppy placed the check on the table and leant back, "Since Mr. Wythe is so sincere, of course I'll accept it. I hope we'll still have the opportunity to discuss cases with each other in the future."

"We surely will have many such opportunities. Goodbye!"

Poppy got a windfall from Wythe Lynn, which was out of Poppy’s expectation. But his ability to creep as well as soar was indeed admirable.

A million RMB!

Poppy flicked the check and the crisp voice made her delightful. She glanced at the clock and it was nearly lunch time, so she dial the in-line, "Claire, I have just gotten a windfall. I'll buy you lunch today!"

"Okay, Miss Green!"

After tidying up the things on her desk, Poppy and Claire picked up their bags, and left the office.

While reaching the parking lot, she quickened her pace when she saw something wrong with her car from afar. Claire saw it too and quickly followed Poppy.

A big “DEAD" in red paint was written on the front of her brand-new car.

Even the back of her car was splashed with a big puddle of red paint.

Poppy was calmly observing the whole car and stood there, thinking. Her eyes looked calm.

Claire understood that it was inevitable for a lawyer to offend people. But pouring red paint so blatantly indicated the culprits were bound not to be weak.
