The sparse sunlight in autumn is slowly falling on the towering buildings, the blue-gray glass reflects the halo of brilliance, and the reinforced forest city has shallow fish scale waves, colorful and splendid light spots. Gently flickering, the magnificent and graceful scene is breathtaking.
It seems that New York has just entered autumn, and I haven't had time to experience it in detail. The footsteps of winter can't wait to approach, and it makes people feel more and more nostalgic for the moment when the long day is coming to an end; but unfortunately, the small box of the high-rise building is still busy. Running around, there is no way to slow down.
Cover up the tension and exhaustion behind the busy traffic, all year round.
"…if you can't even do such a simple and basic job, then I don't see the potential for you to be a good lawyer, our job is to be rational and careful, and any mistake can lead to us losing the case. ."
"I believe Harvard Law School should be more than that. Please don't hold the Ivy League to be superior to others. It will only make you ugly. Please don't pass the buck to the intern, it will only make you look stupid. without knowing it.”
A steady but stern voice raged in the office, and the voice that was not raised deliberately burst out with an overwhelming force in the thick tone, hitting hard and muffled continuously, all the members who were participating in the meeting. They were all silent, not even daring to make eye contact, and the terrifying low air pressure made it breathless.
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door came at an untimely time, and it was obviously a terrible timing, and it was literally a head-on to the muzzle, making people break a cold sweat for the poor bastard outside the office; but for the people inside the office. A life-saving straw, all eyes shifted in unison.
However, immediately you can feel the gaze projected from the front, slamming hard like an arrow, and the survival instinct brings all the sight back, and quietly lowers the head, lest it be a little later, I will Face the dragon's wrath alone.
Yea.
The office door was slowly pushed open, and then a figure squeezed in. The terrified expression almost made him cry, especially when he saw those eyes full of anger swept over, the fear of the series of critical strikes made the sound stuck. In his throat, his mind instantly became blank.
"You better give me a perfect reason."
The word-by-word voice was squeezed out from the depths of the throat, like a whisper from the depths of hell.
Lily-Dean didn't want that either, how could she not know? Never interrupt your regular morning meeting! This is the first rule you learn after entering a law firm! Especially in the past two days, this is even more so—
Matthew Dunlop, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, can be said to be full of aura. The ultra-low air pressure made people shudder, not violent and angry, but still able to create a shudder of fear. Even the senior partners of the law firm wisely avoided them. Not to mention other ordinary employees.
To make matters worse, Matthew's meticulousness in his work is really amazing, and no small mistakes can escape his eyes. Originally, there were complaints inside the company, but it turned out that the big boss was still listening honestly after being reprimanded by Matthew. Those complaints were instantly cut off, and no one dared to say anything more.
Lily didn't want to interrupt the morning meeting if she could, she didn't even want to get close to the conference room, but... But the big boss said, "If you interrupt, interrupt it."
Biquge
The big boss spoke, but he didn't need to come forward, only their little shrimps appeared, and Lily was extremely aggrieved.
At this moment, Lily could feel Matthew's unpredictable but unfathomable eyes watching her, her entire back was covered with goose bumps, the only thought was to turn around and flee, but the words of the big boss It was still echoing in her ears, and she could only bite the bullet and say.
"The Chase case has been postponed again, and their latest evidence has been approved by the prosecutor. What should we do?"
In just a few words, Lily could feel that the temperature in the entire conference room was decreasing, and even the sound of breathing was gradually disappearing. Everyone was doing their best to eliminate their sense of existence, lest they be attacked by the hurricane. Runaway Lily confronts Matthew.
"Notify the entire team to have a meeting immediately, and after the morning meeting is over, I will be there."
Matthew did not get angry, but his dull and serious voice revealed a kind of coldness in his bones. The indoor air was continuously approaching zero degrees in a free fall. Behind the concise and clear words, there was a heavy impact. It can even be felt outside the office.
Lily didn't say anything more. She closed the door softly, completely cutting off Matthew's vision. Only then did she realize that her entire back was soaked through. The panic made her palms tremble uncontrollably. Her knees went weak for a while, and she almost lost her footing. She had to lean against the wall to support her body, but she still didn't dare to relax. She had only one thought in her mind: get out of this office as soon as possible.
It's just that the legs are a little out of order.
Indistinctly, Lily could hear the sound of the rustling sound coming from the surrounding work booths. Her first reaction was to raise her middle finger and curse back:
You guys, you only know how to watch a good show? Are interns bullied
But she knew she couldn't, because in a law firm, interns were really easy to bully; what's more, she really didn't have the energy to pay attention to those gossip onlookers, and she didn't have the energy to curse the whispers of schadenfreude, she needed to let Stand up and speak.
"Are you okay? Need help?"
There was a low and gentleman's voice not far from the front. The elegant London voice was beating on the eardrum, with a faint hoarseness that was difficult to detect, like a feather sliding through the heart, which made Lily's panic and confusion invisibly. Anxiety calmed down a little, and she hurriedly raised her head.
"Need not… "
In the law firm, the intern must not reveal her vulnerability, otherwise she will be torn to shreds by these beasts soon. She needs to be strong, but the words on her lips can't help but slow down, "...Thank you..." Finally The voice just disappeared in the throat.
Lily was a little stunned. Her brain, which had not been able to fully recover, was like being stuck in quicksand. It continued to run slowly, staring blankly at the face in front of her.
The other party stretched out her right hand towards Lily, and Lily also stretched out her right hand in such a stupid way, and successfully stood firm with the help of the other party.
The sparse and handsome eyebrows stretched out gently, like the clouds stretching out from the sky in the deep autumn, and there was a shallow gentle smile in the bottom of the eyes, like the warm sun in the late autumn falling down lazily and lightly, making people unable to help Letting out a sigh of enjoyment, I couldn't help but close my eyes and wander in it.
"Maybe you need a cup of coffee and a bar of chocolate."
The mellow voice said with a smile, but Lily couldn't react at all, even nodding, and instantly felt that she was in the pink bubble of her childhood dream. Grace makes her top-heavy, and she can only let herself be immersed in it.
"Excuse me, is the conference room where Matthew Dunlop is having a meeting next to this one?"
Lily finally reacted, nodded stunned, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but found that her blank brain had no thoughts, so she nodded again in affirmation.
"thanks."
After speaking, the other party released his right hand and continued to walk towards the office.
Lily finally came back to her senses, "Wait." She tried to remind the other party, "Don't... Don't..." Interrupting the meeting again at this time is definitely an irrational behavior, her face is full of anxiety and fear, Even more nervous and worried than when he just walked into the office.
Unexpectedly, the other party just turned his head, showed a bright smile, put his finger on his lips, "shhh", and opened the door in the next second.
"boom!"
When the muffled sound of pushing the door came, Lily couldn't help closing her eyes tightly, and she couldn't help curling up, but... The expected roar didn't appear, there was only silence, and it was even so quiet that That kind of panic couldn't help but surge up again, making people curious:
What the hell is going on inside
Lily hesitated for a moment, and was about to approach the gate a little, trying to catch clues, but before she could move forward, the office door was pushed open again, a gust of wind whistled past, and Lily could see two tall people. The slender figures rushed out one after the other.
Tapping.
Tapping.
With her head held high, she walked unstoppably towards the elevator. Only then did Lily realize that Matthew's back was passing in front of her. Before she could react, she had already followed the figure just now, walking slowly. Farther and farther, without any pause or any hesitation.
"Ding!"
The elevator opened, and all eyes on the entire floor quietly came out of the work compartment, but found that the man was not nervous or flustered at all, and even showed a polite smile, and nodded lightly, as if expressing apology.
Many people ignored Matthew, who was standing beside him with a gloomy face, waved boldly, and greeted sneakily.
"Ding!"
The elevator closed, and Matthew's stern and serious face gradually disappeared behind the elevator door, but the entire floor was silent, and those raised arms were put down embarrassingly, only then did he realize what stupid thing he had just done. .
However, Lily found that her thinking speed couldn't keep up at all, she couldn't keep up at all, and she took many, many beats slower. She always felt as if she had missed something important and forgot something important, but her brain couldn't work, it was just stiff. land.
What happened just now
