[Titanic] Harbor

Erica breathed a sigh of relief, her attention once again returning to her shoulders.But the owl seemed to have made up its mind to take root on her.

This is really embarrassing.

Erica felt that half of her body was numb, but she couldn't think of any solution for a while.

To make matters worse, Erica heard Mrs. Dalton's footsteps again.

She turned her head to look at the owl perched on her shoulder, but after all, human joint rotation is limited, and she could only see a little gray in the corner of her eye.

Mrs. Dalton's footsteps were getting closer, and Erica felt that even if she risked being scratched to drive away the owl on her shoulder now, it would be too late to send this uninvited guest out of her room. Then, she I heard Mrs. Dalton's knock on the door...

Mrs. Dalton went to the door.Worried that Erica was up to something with her again, she knocked lightly on the door, and then, as Erica had done before, she pushed the door open.

——"Mom, I said I'll be fine soon. Didn't the maid tell you?"

Erica sat on the edge of the bed, her clothes hadn't been completely taken off, and she looked at Mrs. Dalton with a very surprised expression.

"Oh, she said, I'm just a little worried about you, so come and see." Mrs. Dalton was slightly relieved when she saw Erica changing clothes, and said with some embarrassment: "You can ask the maid to help you .Why do you even do this kind of thing yourself?"

"It's okay. It's just that during the time I've been working outside, I've gotten used to changing and washing by myself, and now I don't react all of a sudden."

Erica looked at Mrs. Dalton innocently, and didn't see through her breaking in.

"Then hurry up and finish changing. We have to visit Mrs. Derek!"

Mrs. Dalton hastily closed the door.Erica heard her footsteps recede.

She looked at the owl sitting above the curtain, and moved her shoulders with difficulty.

Just now, just before Mrs. Dalton opened the door, she finally made up her mind, grabbed the owl on her shoulder, opened the window, and threw it out of the window.

Erica's first move went well, the owl didn't catch her, but as soon as she threw the owl out, it flew in at a faster speed and stopped in the original place.

When Mrs. Dalton came in, Erica didn't have time to close the window, and there was a feather that had fallen from an owl on the table. She could only take off her clothes quickly to divert Mrs. Dalton's attention.

Of course, her original plan was also to change clothes.

This afternoon, Mrs. Dalton will enjoy a good tea time with a friend she has made in New York, and they will study popular poetry together.

After that, Mrs. Dalton will take Erica back to London.

Sounds like last airing time.

Erica hurriedly put on the clothes the maid had left on her bedside while they were eating.

She tried to ignore the strange bird, an owl that was active during the day, and it seemed very strange to think about it.

The maid sent a bright red dress.The style of the dress was gorgeous, carefully chosen by Mrs. Dalton, and the value of the clothes was very high. This one alone was probably worth the five dresses in Erica's wardrobe.

The red color makes this dress gorgeous, while the complicated and exaggerated golden embroidery thread makes this dress look extremely noble.The skirt of the dress is so large that it looks like a cluster of burning flames.After Erica puts it on, she can still feel the support in the skirt. This Victorian element has been well reused and looks bright and moving.

The dress itself is beautiful.

But when Erica actually wears it, it's not the same thing.

For starters, her eyes are ice blue and her hair is blonde, which doesn't go well with the red dress.

Secondly, her tall and slender figure cannot support the theme of a cluster of flames in this dress, and it looks more like a lit match.

The dress carefully selected by Mrs. Dalton would be an exquisite visual enjoyment for any other socialite, but when it came to Erica—Erica made a few tangled movements in front of the mirror, In the end, he let go of his own brain hole that was bigger than the sky.

She set out to find a way to remedy it.Unfortunately, no clue.

The most deadly problem with this dress is that her previous clothes were all dragging the floor, and she couldn’t see the shoes, but this dress only reaches the calf area. Without a pair of exquisite shoes, she will look nondescript, and if she If you wear shoes, it will look even taller.

If it had been Ruth wearing it, she would have looked her best in it.

Thinking of this, Erica put on her high heels and went down the stairs.

She carefully looked at the temporarily rented villa.While lamenting the decline of the master's family, he made a new discovery.

"Oh, Erica, you look really beautiful today." Mrs. Dalton greeted her proudly, she hugged Erica, and then looked at Erica's dress: "But this is too tall It doesn't look right. I should have noticed that when I was shopping for clothes."

Mrs. Dalton's good aesthetics finally made her realize that Erica should not be allowed to wear this dress to participate in any activities.

"We should change one." She pulled Erica and said, "I made you several clothes when I was in New York this time. We can try another one."

Erica walked into the master bedroom with her mother obediently, just like every time they got along with their mother and daughter before.

But she knew in her heart that all her obedience was just to run away from home again at the most appropriate time.

And this time her purpose of running away from home was to participate in a court trial.It is impossible for her to go against her principles and just go back home like this.And even if she really wanted to leave, she had to complete an adventure before she left, instead of making concessions because of others' warnings and coercion.

Erika was driven by Mrs. Dalton to change into a dress, then got into the black car and rushed to the place for afternoon tea.

The afternoon sun in New York is just right.

Green is sitting in his new office, reviewing documents without distraction.

The company's new terms of employment have been published in New York newspapers.Since he wants to develop his own business in this place, it is most inappropriate to hire local people, especially the planning plan of local people will be more suitable for the characteristics of their area and more operable.

As far as Green himself is concerned, although he cannot be as enthusiastic as these newly recruited subordinates, he himself appreciates this enthusiastic atmosphere.

Facts have proved that his choice is not wrong.

Everything is on track, except for the upcoming trial on Monday.

Although Green refused Erica to testify in court, it does not mean that he was unprepared.

He found himself a team of lawyers, which specialize in solving business troubles for the rich, and in the past 20 years of practice, there has been no failure.

There was a knock on the door of the office. According to the appointment, it was his lawyer who wanted to discuss with him about going to court tomorrow.

"Come in." Green didn't look up. He didn't look up until he signed the document in his hand: "Good afternoon, Mr. Wayne."

"Good afternoon, Privy Councilor." Attorney Wayne nodded briefly to Green. He wore glasses and looked at Green without any emotional fluctuations.Then, he sat down and said very professionally: "I think you already know what we need to communicate today, so can we just start."

"Of course. I trust your team very much." Green nodded.

"But you don't care about it. With all due respect, the case itself is very bad for you." The lawyer adjusted his stool, and then he took out the thick stack of documents in his briefcase.

"Yes. You don't need to take out these materials. I have all those clippings here. I am more inclined to have any countermeasures for you?"

"In the past two days, I have investigated the judge's information. You are very lucky, Mr. Green. The judge you met is very tough and will not be easily influenced."

"This sounds like good news." Green tapped his finger on the table, "Then you came to me, which link is wrong?"

"That's right, sir. I heard what happened at the ball yesterday. Yes, someone offered to testify for you, and I thought we might be able to add another witness."

Green gave Wayne a cold look, and then said, "I'm assuming you didn't say this to prove your incompetence. I didn't plan to hire you to ask her to be a witness. Maybe someone told you that I refused. Granted the girl's request to testify in court."

"How determined are you, sir? Even if this lack might cost you all?"

"I have almost prepared the interrogation notes you gave me to recite, and I have prepared all the other evidence according to your instructions. I should trust you, right? I know you can always satisfy your customers Yes. Even if there is no such witness!" Green looked at the door, and issued the order to evict the guest vaguely.

Getting Erica to testify in court is just icing on the cake. Wayne just wants to add another insurance to the trial to ensure that his 20-year undefeated myth will not be broken.

But even without Erica, he can win just as well.He appeared in front of him at this time, just to show the difficulty of his work and to add a sum to the final salary.

Green turned down his offer.

Lawyer Wayne was a little embarrassed by Green's refusal.

However, in his long career, he has encountered many more uncooperative clients and more difficult cases to overcome.The case of the Privy Councilor was just a matter of urgency, and the black hand behind the scenes was a bit difficult to deal with.

"I see. Then I shall take my leave."

Wayne will not offend his clients, and he will always act according to his clients' wishes until the transaction is over.
