Sammy Jones then snapped back to his senses and pushed Joey Xu, “I’m writing down everything you said, get out of the way, I’m hungry.”
Joey Xu gave her another warning stare before taking a step back, “Don’t get over it.”
The whole dinner, in fact, Sammy Jones ate a little distracted. She could actually imagine how Joey Xu would have a fit of rage when he saw her presence in the courtroom once this case went to trial. By then …
It might be unlikely that they would dine as calmly with each other as they do nowadays. Perhaps … the lawyer’s license was once again revoked and, after that, they were strangers from then on …
Sighing softly and inaudibly, just thinking about that kind of picture, the tip of her heart is like being strangled by a wire, suffocating pain. I couldn’t help but look at Joey Xu twice more, he was eating slowly and methodically, as if he felt her gaze, he didn’t raise his head, but just asked, “What are you looking at?”
Sammy Jones, in a rare move, didn’t lift a finger with him, instead picking his lips and smiling, “Seeing as you’re handsome.”
With his head lowered, Joey Xu’s lips were already unconsciously hooked at the corners. Putting down his knife and fork, he narrowed his eyes, “Even if you’re pouring honey on me, if you dare to touch the Quartet’s case, you’re still dead!”
Sammy Jones rolled his eyes, “Can we not bring up such spoiler topics?”
Joey Xu changed the subject, “I’m traveling for a few days.”
“When do we leave?”
Joey Xu looked down at the clock, “About 2 hours to go.”
“That fast?”
“What? Can’t bear to see me go?” Joey Xu raised an eyebrow.
Sammy Jones laughed heartlessly, “Yeah, who else is going to buy me such and such an expensive meal when you’re gone?”
Joey Xu blushed hard, daring this woman to do it just for this big meal!
“I’ll be gone longer this time, about 10 days.”
“That long?” Sammy Jones was slightly stunned. Ten days? That would be … the day of the trial as soon as he got back.
She had originally thought that within these 10 days, they could at least be friends for 10 days in peace. But she didn’t expect …
As it turns out, this has been the last two hours in which they were finally able to talk to each other so calmly.
Joey Xu looked at her with deep eyes and invited, “If you’re feeling long, you can accompany me.”
“Then forget it, I’m not your secretary or … whoever you are, why should I accompany you.” She stole a glance at him and speared the foie gras on her plate with her fork. What had been a fine and delicious meal now felt tasteless.
Joey Xu glanced at her movements, “Don’t abuse them. Are you full yet? Buy the bill and leave if you’re full.”
“Going to the airport now?”
“Uh-huh.” Joey Xu reached over and rang the bell, and immediately a waiter came in. He handed over the cash and pulled Sammy Jones up, “Let’s go.”
He has long legs and walks fast, Sammy Jones stepped in small steps, following him. When he walked through the lobby of the restaurant, many of the girls in the restaurant’s eyes passed over him, and then stopped, each in awe. Sammy Jones watched this, but inexplicably felt bad.
A self-deprecating smile.
What’s not to savor about yourself? It’s not like she’s Joey Xu anyone.
And …
Later …
Before thinking down, the tip of his nose already felt sore and swollen, and subconsciously looked at his back. Through the white shirt, as if you can still see the wound on his back that he left for himself …
Heart, fine pain.
Yoshimoto was long gone, leaving the car to them. Joey Xu shoved Sammy Jones into the car and waited until it started before she snapped back to her senses, “Eh, aren’t you going to the airport? Just leave me on the side of the road, I’ll just take a cab back.”
“Don’t move, buckle your seatbelt.” Joey Xu sharply drove the car onto the viaduct and ran straight in the direction of the airport.
“You’re arresting me for dropping off a plane, aren’t you? How can you be like this, not even asking people’s wishes.” Although he said that, but, seeing the direction of the airport, Sammy Jones was sitting peacefully. Two more hours of time together seems not bad …
“Uh-huh, actually I’m taking you with me.” Joey Xu gave her a sideways glance.
She was stunned and refused almost immediately, “No!”
He raised an eyebrow with a displeased look on his face, “Why?”
“I … I don’t have my ID.”
“It’s in the wallet, I just looked at it.” His tone was unsavory.
“…” she continued to search for a reason, “I haven’t bought a plane ticket yet! How can I leave, right?”
“Small problem. When Goodbourne booked the tickets, it was booked for both of us.”
“It’s … is it?” Sammy Jones added, “You’re going abroad aren’t you? Well, I don’t have my passport and I don’t have a visa yet! Can’t go, can’t go!”
“None of this is a problem, I’ll have Goodben take care of it. Passport good book has already gone to your home to get.” Joey Xu still answered slowly and methodically, with a nailed-on look. Sammy Jones was anxious in his heart. This ten days is the crucial ten days, how can she go? If she left at this juncture, it would be strange if Ming Fan and Linlin would not die of anxiety!
“I’m not going! Joey Xu, please learn how to respect people, okay? You decide everything in advance, have you ever asked me for my opinion? Have you considered my feelings? I’m a human being too, not a toy to be manipulated by you.” Sammy Jones was really a bit anxious, and his words were also very stern.
The car was coming down from the viaduct, Joey Xu turned the wheel and suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, Sammy Jones immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and wanted to go down, Joey Xu reached out and pulled her back.
“You let go!” She struggled.
In the next instant, Joey Xu held the back of her head and planted a deep kiss. Her jaw dropped in shock, and she heard Joey Xu sigh helplessly, “Stupid woman, close your eyes!”
Heart, totally messed up …
The moment her breath was seduced away from her by him, her composure and sanity had been all but gone. Her lashes fluttered lightly, her eyes slowly closed, and she was instantly intoxicated. Thinking of future tit-for-tat, or even strangers, Sammy Jones’ nose turned sour and she suddenly gave up her reserve and kissed him back without a care for anything.
Such a response was an absolute thrill for Joey Xu. Grunting out with impatience, he was suddenly like a beast that had been violently stimulated, kissing even more wildly, even more unrestrainedly. His lips and tongue contained hers, sucking out ambiguous sounds, as if he wanted to devour her whole person on this.
Sammy Jones how to stand him such a kiss? Immediately panting, can not breathe. Joey Xu then let go of her, the eyes, dense can melt her sparks.
“One of these days, the first time I call you, you’re going to answer!” He said in a dull voice.
“Got it.” Sammy Jones nodded instinctively, thought of something, and jawed at him, “You’re not taking me with you, are you?”
“You think visas are that easy to get, and besides, where did I get a key to your house?” Joey Xu grunted. In fact, he really wanted to take this stupid woman.
Sammy Jones spread a smile and whacked himself on the head, “I was too pissed off to think that much.”
Joey Xu glared at him through clenched teeth, “You don’t want to come with me that badly?”
Dare you say you don’t want to?
Sammy Jones laughed as hypocritically as possible, “Of course I want to. However, if I follow you there, I won’t be able to do anything to help you, and I’ll be dragging you down at work, so I’m not causing you any trouble, am I? Why do you think I have to do that, right?”
Joey Xu knew the woman was just bluffing when she said those words. Just now she had already used her whole body in rejecting him and had taught him a hard lesson.
However, he wasn’t in a bad mood, so he wasn’t going to bother with him.
“Accompany me to the airport, and then, you drive this car of mine to your house, and I’ll come back directly to you to get my car.” Joey Xu also didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he was actually trying so desperately to get time with her like this.
Ten days of not seeing a woman is really not that long. When he was in love with Zhao Lanlan in the past, there were often times when he didn’t see her for a month, and he wasn’t as motherly and unchic as he is now. Besides, he and Sammy Jones weren’t in a relationship yet!
It’s a pretty bad feeling, like you’re becoming unlike yourself, but, on the other hand, it’s so new that every cell in your body seems to be bubbling.
Outside the window, it was completely dark, and darkness enveloped the city. When they arrived, the good book was already in the waiting room. As soon as Joey Xu arrived, he immediately went to check in and go through the security check.
Joey Xu tossed the key into Sammy Jones’ hand, and before he left, he was still urging Sammy Jones not to touch the four-way case. Sammy Jones nodded his head carelessly and said goodbye to him. Sammy Jones nodded his head carelessly and said goodbye to him, and then stood in the crowd, watching the back of that figure follow the line through the security check.
The moment he passed through the security checkpoint, Sammy Jones’ nose turned sour and tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.
She wasn’t a crybaby, so, presently, she raised her hand to wipe the tears away.
Joey Xu…
Sorry …
I lied to you …
Betrayed you …
From this moment on, between them … they began, further and further away … further and further away …
That day, Sammy Jones didn’t sleep for the whole night and just stayed on the sofa until dawn. Early in the morning, the doorbell was ringing and she opened the door to see Luo Mingfan standing in the doorway carrying breakfast.
“Why you?” Sammy Jones yawned lazily, shielding his face with his hands, “Come on in first, I haven’t slept all night and the dark circles are coming up under my eyes.”
Luo Mingfan rested his breakfast on the table, “What’s going on, not sleeping all night.”
“Well, thinking about something so I couldn’t sleep.” Sammy Jones ruffled the water to wash his face as he made vague conversation with him, “How’d you know I lived here?”
“Didn’t you leave me an address when you left? Said I’d come here to find you if I needed anything. Would I have come too suddenly? Did call you, but your cell phone hasn’t been on since last night.”
“Ah, my cell phone died.” Sammy Jones washed her face, cut her hair, and came out with an eye mask. Anyway, she had seen whatever she looked like Luo Mingfan, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. “You’re looking for me for something?”
She closed her eyes and leaned towards the sofa. Luo Mingfan habitually took a pillow and stuffed it behind her, “Yes, it won’t be long before the court leaves, and I thought about it, I can’t let you get into this mess, so it’s better for you to quit this case.”
Sammy Jones was startled and pressed his fingers to the membranes under his eyes, opening them to look at him, “You put yourself in my shoes for everything?”
Luo Mingfan smiled a little, “I’m already satisfied that you have this heart.”
Sammy Jones breathed softly, “Ming Fan, you can stand by and watch your father be wrongly accused?”
Luo Mingfan’s eyes darkened, “… I’ll find another lawyer and beg again. Sammy Jones, I don’t want to drag you down.”
And beg someone else?
How can Sammy Jones not know what he’s going through right now? All the way through this case, has Luo Jing begged for more than he can handle?
Luo Mingfan’s cell phone rang at first. He took it out and took a look at it, not picking it up immediately, but it kept ringing continuously over there, so Luo Mingfan had to pick it up and stick it to his ear, and Luo Jing’s voice immediately came from over there, “Brother, what are you doing! You can’t persuade Lawyer Ye not to pick up! She’s someone who is so willing to help us, do you know that!”
“I have a point!”
