Hwei Ru stares at Li Jun with teary eyes, watching him accept the kiss of Wang Xiu who showed her appreciation for being rescued at the hands of the director.
This is only a surge of emotion, Hwei Ru tells herself.
Yet, the pain in her heart feels like being punched in the chest. Tears fall and trickle down her cheeks when she turns her gaze away from the two people sharing a moment of haven in each other's arms.
Li Jun likes her, Hwei Ru reminds herself.
The lawyer put her attention on the director, spread on the floor barely unconscious, and can hardly speak from his brutal injuries. His nose is broken and bleeding while his lips are swollen from the punches he received.
"H-H-Help… m-m-me…" The director groans in terrible ache. Pleading at the lawyer beside her. He trusts the woman will be on his side as a client.
