Expensive Gift, Compensation for Her
Liam Johnson was somewhat decent. He reached out to pull her dress in place and was about to button it up for her.
"I'll do it myself." Emma Smith's voice trembled.
Her hand grasped the tiny button, but it was too slippery and she couldn't button it. In the end, Liam Johnson buttoned it for her.
He apologized again.
To compensate her, he personally called Lawyer Noah Davis and explained Emma Smith's father's situation.
Noah Davis highly appreciated this junior, Liam Johnson. As soon as Liam Johnson spoke, Noah Davis immediately agreed and made an appointment with Emma Smith.
Liam Johnson chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.
He sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette. He said to Emma Smith, "Apart from handling the lawsuit for you, you can make any other requests."
Emma Smith knew that this should be the last time they met.
If it were before, Liam Johnson might still think of her body from time to time. But now it was different. He should have made up his mind to draw a clear line with her.
Emma Smith was a sensible person.
She pretended to be relaxed: "It was just a fling. I didn't lose anything! I still have to thank Mr. Johnson for your help..."
At the end of her words, Emma Smith's nose felt a little sour, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She wasn't even a friend to Liam Johnson. It was meaningless to be sentimental in front of him.
She said goodbye to him and said she would take a taxi back.
Liam Johnson didn't say anything. He still sat there smoking, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Emma Smith left.
She didn't go home immediately. She didn't want to face Aunt Mei's disappointed gaze so soon.
When night fell, Emma Smith was walking alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the city center square was lit up with colorful lights, flashing one after another. There were young couples hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel.
Emma Smith stopped.
She watched quietly. The night wind blew, and her eyes moistened.
A golden Continental drove past Emma Smith. Liam Johnson saw Emma Smith.
She was standing under the Ferris wheel, looking up at the stars, with longing and affection in her eyes... Liam Johnson wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think she was missing him!
Who she was thinking of, he knew clearly in his heart.
Liam Johnson stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley Continental sped away.
...
The next day, Emma Smith went to work at the music studio. This music studio was the most high-end music training institution in B City. Her colleagues all knew about her family situation and couldn't help but offer some comforting words.
Emma Smith didn't want to affect others and said with a faint smile that it was okay.
At ten o'clock, a city-wide express delivery brought something over, saying it was sent by a Mr. Huo, a lawyer.
Emma Smith removed the outer packaging.
The exquisite velvet box contained a diamond necklace.
It was dazzling and very expensive.
A colleague quietly told Emma Smith: "This brand of necklace, with this carat size, should be no less than a million."
Emma Smith didn't want it.
But there was no contact information for Liam Johnson on the express delivery. She understood that he didn't want to see her again.
After work, Emma Smith went to the "Yingjie" law firm. She placed the velvet box at the front desk and asked her to pass it on to Mr. Johnson.
Although the front desk lady was puzzled, she agreed.
Just as Emma Smith was about to leave, Liam Johnson walked out side by side with a young girl. Emma Smith had seen her in the magazine.
Liam Johnson, the apple of the Johnson family's eye, and also Liam Johnson's only younger sister.
Half a year ago, Liam Johnson returned from studying abroad and quickly fell in love with Oliver Garcia.
At this moment, Liam Johnson was holding her brother's arm and acting coquettishly: "Brother, I've invited you several times. Just meet Oliver Garcia!"
Liam Johnson casually dismissed his sister.
Liam Johnson pretended to be angry and bickered with him, but it was obvious to everyone that their brother-sister relationship was very good.
Emma Smith watched quietly.
She didn't hate Liam Johnson. She just felt a little self-mocking -
With such a deep brother-sister affection, why did she think Liam Johnson could handle the lawsuit for her before?
Emma Smith quietly left.
Liam Johnson saw her. He dismissed Liam Johnson in a few words and walked towards the front desk.
The front desk lady immediately handed him the jewelry box: "Mr. Johnson, the lady just left this."
Liam Johnson took it and nodded gracefully.
Back in the office, he casually threw the box into the drawer. For a long time, he almost forgot about Emma Smith. Only when his body needed relief, would he indifferently remember that there seemed to be such a person.
With a slender waist, and long, straight legs...
