Heart Hunting

Chapter 5

MD commercial building-

Poppy walks into the office hall. The elegant decoration makes her shine at the moment. The condole

top of geometry present a stereo feeling, and the soft light reflects the bright hall. The blackground wall

is made of smooth marbles. The company's name Bailey Law Firm is inlaid on the center.

She stares at the name, and her eyes flashes a ray of light.

She walks in, and someone hugs her before she can react. She hears a warm voice, "welcome home!”

"Mr. Lewis, we'd better keep a little distance." She says.

Her bright eyes are full of alienation. no matter her tone or her look, there is no joking.

Arno seems to have been used to her cold character. He shrugs and smiles warmly, and pats her on

the shoulder and says, "come with me, I'll show you your office.”

“OK.” Poppy follows him.

The pattern of the law firm is designed with double office, and it uses the space reasonably at the same

time. The desk of combinatorial type gathers central, and the vitreous small clapboard distinguishes

each space very well. It's helpful for the staffs to work carefully and meticulously.

They go towards the bright corridor. The dark brown solid wood floor makes a steady and small crisp

sound when stepping on it. On the right side is a big bookshelf, which well separates the reception

area. There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf, as well as elegant furnishings and antiques. The

strong smell of books, the gypsum ceiling, and the bright lights make the office look bright and vivid.

This style is very attentive, it can be seen that a lot of efforts have been made in the design and

decoration.

They stop at an office at the end of the corridor. Arno, with a gentlemanly demeanor, opens the door for

Poppy.

The fragrance of a log hits on the face. It's a kind of shallow sweet fragrance, limpid but unforgettable.

She slowly walks in. The office is not very large, but it is arranged in a neat and orderly way. It is

divided into a reception area and a working area. The left side not far from the desk is a huge French

window.

She sits in the chair and turns to the left. She can see the prosperous scene of high buildings in this

city.

Her eyes darkened.

This is the city she used to live in!

After five years, she finally comes back.

Before she left, she once said that the day she comes back must be the time of her revenge.

She will take here as a new starting point, and let the Greens family collapse step by step.

Arno steps forward, leans against the back of the chair, and looks at her face thoughtfully. A moment

later, he says, "I specially prepare this office for you. It sits in the northwest and face Southeast, the

day-lighting fully complies with the magnetic field. So...Are you satisfied with it?”

He points back and forth with his hands as he saying.

Poppy looks back at him and smiles, "I think you're going to be a geomancer.”

"It's a nice place," she says. "Before I met you, I lived in a dark basement in New York. I didn't pay so

much attention to it.”

Arno suddenly recalls that when he first met her in the United States, her face was pale and covered

with blood. Her thin body seemed to fall down as soon as the wind blew. He feels a little pain in his

heart and shifts the topic. "I've found a house for you, I'll take you to see it later.”

"Thank you. Seems that you have done a lot in the past few months.” Poppy sincerely thanks him, but

there is always a trace of alienation between them.

Or maybe, it's a habit of her self-protection for a long time.

Poppy stands up and goes to the window. It is sunny outside. The sunlight shines on the tall buildings,

which is like throwing a dazzling gold.

The filtered sunlight gently sprinkles on her beautiful side face, like a layer of mysterious veil. Her eyes

are cold, her red lips are tightly closed into a arc, just as a sharp knife which is going to cut the glass.

Arno has been used to the gloomy look on her face. He has known her for a year since they met in the

United States. He knows that there must be a secret in her heart, a secret that can become her burden.

But he never tried to ask, because he knows she has always been a little distant from him.

There is a kind of sad in his eyes, Arno goes up to her, "I'm going to recruit an assistant for you. Do you

have any requirements?"

Poppy's eyes turn bright. She says, "he must be quick and smart. Don't hold me back.”

Arno gets it clearly. He nods his head and says, “No problem.”

At this time, Jeremy hurriedly comes in, he looks at Arno and says with his brow twists, "Mr. Lewis, Mr.

Duncan's ex-wife has come to the office, and she is shouting to see you.”

Arno’s facial expression changes when he hears the news.

Poppy looks at him, raises her eyebrows and asks, "is that the divorce case you mentioned to me

before?”

Arno frowns and answers, "yes, we won the case. The woman didn't get any money. Even the child

was not born by my client.”

Poppy understands. And there is an interest in the bottom of her eyes. "I'll take care of that bitch."

She says, raising her head and stepping out.

Arno looks at the enchanting figure and smiles. He likes such a confident Poppy!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
