First thing the next morning, Severo Laris sat in the living room watching the bag.
Lastra came out of the next room, rubbed his short messy hair and asked, “Severo, are you going to school today, if you are not going to school, can you wash my clothes with me today hehehe.”
“No, I’m going to the law firm today. But there is something I need you to take to school.”
Lastra walked over and asked, “What’s up?”.
Severo Laris hands a white cell phone to Lastra.
Lastra took the phone and looked at it left and right, on the back of the phone was a very nice sticker, at first glance it was a girl’s phone, “What grade school girl’s phone is this, why did it fall into your hands?”
“Freshman English 8, Paula. Run and give her back her phone.”
Lastra’s eyes sparkled, “Good for you Severo, you’re hiding deep inside! It’s only been a few days and you’ve already messed around with a young girl’s cell phone! Are you really in love with that Paula?”
Severo Laris stared blankly at the computer screen and said in a weak voice, “Do you think I have that much time to play a child’s game with her?”
Lastra touched his nose, it was true, he knew Severo Laris well after all the years he had spent with him.
Severo Laris has only one thing in life and that is to make money, money, lots of money.
Remembering Paula Rouco’s pretty little face, Lastra sighed deliberately, “Hey, this Paula’s delicate heart is going to be crushed by you Severo, you have no loving brain at all.”
Severo Laris’ eyes sank a little and he did not respond to her words.
…
In the university cafeteria, Paula Rouco clutches a tablet and looks around for a wi-fi signal, and there is no news from this Facebook medium.
Strange, why hasn’t Severo Laris contacted her yet?
Susana joked, “I think it’s possible that Severo doesn’t have a scavenger quality and has sold your phone on the second-hand market.”
Paula Rouco sweats and wipes: “Severo is not that kind of person”.
After breakfast, I parted ways with Susana and headed to my classroom to study for the morning.
Soon after, Analeigh, who was sitting next to her, tugged on her arm, “Paulita, there’s a man outside looking for you.”
Paula Rouco’s dark, watery eyes flashed with a glint that must have been Severo Laris.
He got up and walked out.
As a result, Paula Rouco’s smile hardened instantly as soon as the boy turned away.
“You are…”
Lastra smiled and said, “Not Severo’s, you’re disappointed, aren’t you, elementary school girl?”
“…,” Paula Rouco said with a small blush.
Lastra handed her the phone, “I’m Severo’s classmate and roommate, Lastra, call me Lastra. Severo asked me to give you this phone. It’s something very important, so keep it safe. The next time someone takes it, you won’t be able to get it back.”
Paula Rouco nodded, “Thank you Lastra.”
“You’re welcome. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave you to it.”
Paula Rouco couldn’t resist calling him, “Lastra, why did Severo … ask you to hand over the phone, where is it?”.
Lastra, who was not just a financial mind like Severo, saw what Paula meant at a glance, smiled and said, “Ah, him, he, he had to arrange some work stuff today, so he couldn’t come to see you. As you know, we are all busy looking for work in our third year of study.”
Paula Rouco couldn’t resist gossiping about Severo Laris.
“Severo is also looking for a job?”
“That’s not true, Severo as you know is so good, he doesn’t need to look for a job, we have a small law firm in partnership, of course I follow their asses, this firm is still mostly run by Severo and another good brother.”
It seemed he was very busy, so he didn’t have time to go see her, rather than not wanting to see her.
It makes Paula Rouco feel better to think so.
Lastra added by way of farewell, “By the way, I remembered that Severo also asked me to pass on a message that he would invite you to dinner sometime.”
Paula Rouco’s heart was sweet and secretly happy.
“I see, Lastra, thank you.”
Paula Rouco was on her way back to class when she remembered something else and called Lastra, “Lastra, let’s add Facebook so we can ask you for advice later.”
Lastra said playfully, “You’ll have to buy me dinner when you’re really done with our Severo. ”
“Definitely, definitely.”
…
Recently, Severo handled a rape case in which the plaintiff was a single powerful family and the defendant was quite powerful in Imperial.
The girl and her parents didn’t know what to do when they turned to his small law firm.
Severo and Rufio spent three full nights in the law office for this case.
Gather evidence, prepare your defense, and understand your opponent’s background and influence.
When Lastra brought lunch to the law firm, Severo Laris and Rufio fell asleep on the table, bearded.
Lastra tapped the bowl with his chopsticks: “Wake up, wake up, at least eat before resting!”.
Rufio woke up and yawned several times: “I can’t, I’m going to take a shower”.
Lastra opened the thermos and asked, “How is that case of yours coming along? I heard that the trial is in two days.”
Rufio said, “The defendant has a bit of a family history and we could get in trouble for taking this case.”
Lastra frowned, “If that’s so, Miss Rufio, I think you should ask your father to send two bodyguards to guard the lawyer’s door!”
Rufio raised an eyebrow, “That’s one way of looking at it, but with this case, Severo and I have a good chance of winning, it’s just that our little shitty law firm will be on top when the time comes.”
“You mean our little shithole will be red?”
Severo Laris looked at Lastra and casually tossed out, “Or maybe we, as a law firm, will disappear from the industry forever.”
The corner of Lastra’s mouth tightened: “…”
Rufio sneered, “Severo, why do you keep scaring Lastra, who is our CFO? If you scare the CFO, who is going to pay our salaries?”.
Lastra laughed, “Forget it! The three of us are talking and I’m talking like a fart. If you two aren’t making money out there, I’m still the breadwinner as CFO.”
Rufio was half serious, half joking, “okay, we are three brothers, we will break gold together, Severo and I will take care of the outside, you will take care of the inside, these days Severo and I are eating takeout, we are going to puke, you should cook and bring the food to the buffet in the next two days!”
“No problem!”
…
For days, Paula Rouco, who had not been contacted by Severo Laris, looked like a frosted eggplant.
I was even more stunned by the advanced math class and was not in the mood.
I had just finished the class and was following Analeigh and the others to the canteen when I received a Facebook message from Lastra on my phone.
“Are you free now sis, do you have a good job to do?”
As soon as Paula Rouco heard it, she associated the errand with Severo Laris.
…
Lastra goes to the movies with his schoolgirl, leaving Paula the task of bringing dinner to the buffet.
Paula Rouco, unaware of the Imperial, took a cab straight to her firm, carrying a thermos of rice, and following the address Lastra had given her.
Two unsmiling bodyguards stood at the entrance to the firm as she approached him.
At first, she thought she had the wrong place, and then she looked at the name of the firm, and yes, S, R, L Law Firm.
Two bodyguards prevented Paula from entering.
Rufio had been working for a long time and relaxed his eyes for a while, when he went over to look out, he saw a small, slender figure outside the door to the landing.
In her hand, the girl carries a thermal cube.
“It can’t be, is this Lastra using a millennial lady as a drone?”
Severo Laris frowned slightly and lifted his head, “What are you mumbling about?”
Rufio pointed to the outside, “The girl outside, you know her?”
Severus Laris turned his eyes to look at them, and they deepened a point.
