[Titanic] Harbor

Green's face turned dark all of a sudden, and he was overwhelmed by Erica's sudden question.

Wayne and his secretary were still standing beside him, and they should have heard Erica's words, which made the Privy Councilor's mind go blank for a moment.

Sure enough, did Erica and Ruth stay together for a long time?How could she suddenly ask such a bold question!

This is a very strange phenomenon.

On one side, Carl and Mrs. Dalton are both complaining that Erica led Ruth badly, and that Ruth disappeared, but in another part of the same world, Green and Mrs. Dalton are also complaining, Ruth It took Erica to pieces.

Wayne stood next to Green. He secretly glanced at Green's face, and ticked off his guess in his heart-the two people really had a relationship dispute.

But at the same time, he also tactfully pulled his secretary: "I have something to say to my secretary, so let's take a few steps away."

At this moment, Green and Erica were standing on the street. Although there were no passers-by, there were occasional cars passing by. The location was wrong and the time was wrong.

Fortunately, the departure of the lawyer still left them a relatively secluded space.

Erica saw that Green hadn't spoken—the man in front of her looked normal, but his ears were red.

So she still gave him a step: "I would like to talk about myself first... I like you."

Erica came out today without makeup or a fancy dress.Her only advantage is that, because the secretary doesn't know her living habits, what she prepares is a pair of high heels.When sitting in the car, this problem was not obvious, but now, she is enjoying the benefits.

The height of the high heels keeps Erica and Green's eyes at a level.She bravely said her confession, and then, on the side of the road not far from the court, quietly watched Green's expression, waiting for his answer.

The corner of Green's mouth moved, and after a while, he spoke with some difficulty: "Your words surprised me... I didn't... I thought I would receive such a surprise before going to court. But I think what I said on Titanic still stands, whether you overheard it or not."

He turned Erica down again.From the moment she blurted out the words of refusal, it seemed like a sharp knife that hurt someone, which made Erica wonder if what she had done before was unnecessary again.

Maybe this is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself.

Erica didn't speak, she raised her hand to shield her eyes, the frustration of being rejected again flooded her heart.She had to cover her eyes to prevent the tears of annoyance from flowing from her eyes.

Green took a step closer in her direction.He patted Erica on the shoulder.It hadn't occurred to him that Erica would cry.

Because last time, his girl was still very strong.

Green is not an emotional playboy.For many years in the past, until now, his world has only been career and work.He was so focused on running his own company that he became a Privy Councilor all the way.

This also means that he has absolutely no experience with a girl, especially with a girl he also likes.

Erica put down the bag that was blocking her eyes, and she took a deep breath, with some obvious nasal sounds in her breathing.

She forced a smile, and although her eyes were still a little red, she still said word by word: "I don't want to make today a bad day." We shouldn't be like this.

Erica decided to just lay things out right before the trial.Because when she goes to court, when she sees the newspaper, she will soon be found by Mrs. Dalton and brought back to London.

After today, she and Green will never see each other for the rest of their lives.

"Today isn't a bad day." Green looked at Erica's face, feeling a little bad.

He heard Erica say, "When I was in New York, I met another suitor. I turned him down. If you don't like it, you should explain why so that you won't regret it."

"I don't know when I fell in love with you myself. It was probably when I first saw you in the coffee shop, or maybe the time in the library. I didn't want to admit it at first, and waited for me When I was willing to face it, I realized that wishful thinking is actually useless.”

Green frowned, he didn't want Erica to say that about himself, but Erica's words continued.

"Frankly speaking, I never thought that you would reject me. Because I feel pretty good about myself." She laughed at herself, but she felt that there was nothing ridiculous, and the corners of her mouth collapsed. It is love, but it is also a matter of self-esteem. This is the second and last time. I will return to London after the court. I owe you the money, and I will pay it later."

She shouted to Wayne who was standing in the distance and looked at them frequently, "Mr. Wayne, you don't need to look at your pocket watch. Mr. Green and I have finished talking, let's not delay the time to go to court!"

Seeing that Erica looked normal, Wayne walked back with his secretary.

Erica's expression was already very natural, after all, she let go of the burden in her heart.She will definitely have the opportunity to change the money owed to Green, but this does not mean that she is in a happy mood at this time.

Wayne has a certain understanding of human behavior.When two people are talking, if their toes are facing each other, it's partly a sign that they're both enjoying the conversation.

Wayne saw that the two of them performed very well when they first started talking.So good that he thought that after the court hearing was over, they would be engaged right away.

But if you look at the direction Erika's toes are pointing now, she's completely turned around, all superficial expressions of joy are deceiving, she must be heartbroken!

Attorney Wayne's brain power is first-class.

The four got into the car, and then drove a road in silence.

In fact, it is also possible to walk there.It's just that the atmosphere between them is very low, and it's a bit embarrassing to walk for a few minutes.

Wayne strikes up a conversation with Erica.He wanted to help Erica relax and take her out of the negativity.He knew a lot of good talkers who went to court and withered away.

The ancient court and the solemn trial naturally have a serious atmosphere, pulling you away from the relaxed mood and feeling the pressure and responsibility.

"Miss Erica, I have a daughter who is a few years younger than you and who is studying in a university. I guess you must have a common language."

"Your daughter is so lucky! There are not many such enlightened fathers these days!"

"It's probably because I've seen many ladies who only know how to make up and dress up, and don't know anything else." For a father, his daughter is praised, which is the greatest encouragement to him.

"It does have something to do with education. My mother once told me that a lady with a happy life should never know what a 'working day' is."

"So, you know what a working day is."

"Of course, because my mother said this standard of happiness, I pestered the housekeeper for a long time to ask. Our poor old housekeeper couldn't stand my grind, so he told me."

"That's a real pity."

"No, no, this is what I'm lucky about. After all, the butler still knows what a working day is. He just doesn't know what a rest day is."

"Your family is lucky to have such a good housekeeper."

With the development of the contract system, many ancient industries such as housekeepers and servants have begun to gradually change.

Erica understood what Lawyer Wayne said, and nodded in agreement: "The housekeeper is like our family."

Until Miss Secretary parked the car.

The chat between the housekeeper and Erica came to an end.Green's bad words to women have risen to a new stage. He sat beside Erica, listening to the conversation between the two in silence.

He can speak this kind of conversation without hindrance when he is doing business, but when facing Erica who has just been rejected by him, he can't get in at all.

Feeling very depressed!

The secretary took Erica to do the preparations.Erika put on her black hat, the shadow of black veil covering her face, and it may not be until she takes off her hat on the witness stand and reads the oath that her face will not match the facts. Together, let the world know.

"Mr. Green." Wayne stopped Green. When he was talking to Erica, he actually kept paying attention to his clients. Unfortunately, Mr. Green kept his face stern and silent, and there was nothing he could do.

"I thought you were perhaps less professional than others who introduced me. Miss Dalton is a fine girl, as you have seen for yourself. It would be a great mistake to involve her!"

Wayne nodded helplessly. He tried to persuade the already angry Green, "Miss Erica is..."

"Miss Dalton, you are not so familiar." A narrow-minded man.

"Okay okay," Wayne snarled, and then continued, "My ex-wife was a great mother, but I've been busy with work and neglected her for years, so I lost her in the end."

She eloped with another man?Green frowned, "I'm not interested in your private affairs. After completing this case, I don't think our employment relationship will continue."

"Things are a little different from what you imagine." Wayne smiled bitterly, "She went to find a job, she went farther than us, she has been supporting women's rights, marching and giving speeches everywhere. ··”

···It's really different.

"Mr. Wayne!" Green reread Wayne's name, reminding him not to continue this topic.He is not interested in other people's gossip.

"I just want to say, no matter what problems you encounter, don't give up on your love. It may be a failure in your life. You think it is good for her to make money, but she may just want someone who is sincere to accompany her and love her people."

Green has been unable to resist this kind of intimate conversation.It's as if he's not good at dissecting his own heart, it will give him an unshielded sense of fear.

But this kind of sincerity is difficult for anyone to refuse.He and Wayne are in a cooperative relationship, and there is no mutual interest.So after walking for a while, he said to Wayne: "I like Erica. I thought I would start pursuing her after I found Erica... But maybe you have already noticed—— There are some issues within my company, financially."

Wayne has fully grasped the unfinished meaning in the words.Even as a Privy Councilor, it is difficult to pass the test easily on all issues.Judging from the survey results he provided, I'm afraid it's not just Hugh White's business.Maybe the mastermind is the company's top executives... That Mr. Ryan is very suspicious.

"If Miss Erica knew, she probably wouldn't be able to accept such a reason for refusal."

But if I can't provide her with a superior life, it's better not to give her any hope from the beginning.

They were already standing in front of the steps at the entrance of the courthouse. Green no longer spoke to Wayne, but concentrated on walking up the stairs.

Lawyer Wayne actually didn't say anything.

——Then: Green rejected Erica. If Green hadn't gone bankrupt, then his pursuit of his wife must still be endless.

While climbing the stairs panting, Mr. Wayne made up his mind that when he could push, it would be better to push!
