Heart Hunting
Chapter 20

The morning light flies through the glass and falls on poppy's soft side face.

As a saying goes, a man who works hard is the most attractive. It is also true for Poppy. When she back to work, she is so attractive.

The suitable career dress makes her look more professional. Her long curly hair is tied into ponytail. Her delicate features are three-dimensional, giving people a sense of capable and beautiful. "Knock knock..." A clear knock on the door disturbs the silence.

"Come in, please."

Arno pushes the door and walks in. A woman follows behind him. She looks clean and plain. She is not a beautiful type, looks calm and reassuring.

"Poppy, this is the assistant I found for you, Claire. She will follow you in the future." Arno introduces.

"Hello, lawyer Poppy."

"Okay." Poppy answers softly, "did lawyer Arno explain your work and my requirements to you?"

"Yes, very clear." Claire's expression is very calm, but her eyes are very bright.

"OK, you can go out to get familiar with the environment first. I'll call you if I need you."

"Yes."

After Claire leaves, Arno sits down and asks, "what do you think of this assistant?"

"The first feeling is OK." There are only them two in the office. Poppy relaxes a little and leans back. "Do you have something to ask me?"

Arno smiles. "Yes, what do you think about the legacy case?"

"What's your opinion?" Both of them have always been very serious in terms of cases. Poppy clearly knows that Arno has his own set of ideas for the analysis and handling of each case. Arno puts his hands on the table and thinks for a moment. "This kind of legacy case is better to be compromised in court."

Poppy nods approvingly. His idea is surely the most convenient shortcut, but...

She frowns. "I've read the data of the other party. There will be a lot of disputes. I need to clear my mind and never let Ben's lawyer deliberately create difficulties."

Arno's eyes show his approval. Poppy always works carefully, just like a dedicated Weaver. The silkscreen looks thin, but once the "big fish" is wrapped, there is no chance to escape. "Knock knock!" The knock at the door breaks the conversation.

"Come in!" Poppy looks at the person.

Claire comes in with a bunch of beautiful champagne roses and a beautiful gift box.

Arno notices this and jokes directly, "Wow, our lawyer Poppy is so charming that someone pursues her as soon as she came back."

Poppy ignores his banter and looks at Claire. "I'll take it. Go out."

"Yes."

Looking at the things, Poppy raises a meaningful smile. In Arno's presence, she opens the gift box. Inside is a set of sportswear she wore last night for running. So she naturally knows who sent it. "Are these your clothes?" Arno guesses.

"Yep," she knocks on the box, "guess who sent it?"

"Kenny?" Arno's eyes darken a little bit.

Poppy nods. She fiddles with the champagne roses. And Arno's face sinks. "How's it going?"

"It's all in my plan, Kenny can't escape from it." The expression in Poppy's eyes is a little sly. "I'm ready for the next step."

"Poppy, you should be careful of this man. He is not a man you can easily take advantage of." Arno is a little worried.

"As long as I can achieve my goal, I don't care if I offends him!"

"Actually, I can help you, you don't need to..."

"No," she interrupts firmly, "I'll do it myself!"

"I'm afraid that the deeper you step on it, the more you will..." Arno's eyebrows wrinkle slightly.

"From the moment I chose to come back, I was ready to go to hell at any time." The smile on her face is bitter, but her eyes are firm. Arno has nothing to say, but his heart is a little hurt. Poppy, if you are a little weaker, if you can let me help you, that would be so nice.
