Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 127
Shaun acknowledged with a quick nod. He felt slightly pleased upon hearing that.
“How’s the preparation going for this case?”
“Everything is ready.” Hadley was speechless. The man had secretly gathered the information for the court case but was still pretending to be indifferent.
‘Boss, don’t you know that this attitude of yours isn’t going to get you a wife?’
On the other hand, Catherine, who had been hung up on, was at a loss of what to do.
She was washed over by regret.
Surely being Shaun’s sitter was better than dying in prison.
“Right, quickly put this on and go beg for his help.” Freya handed her friend a newly bought white floral dress.
Catherine took a closer look at the dress and realized it had a low-cut neckline. “You’re really making me wear this to seduce him on this cold winter day? He hates this. I’ll be drowning in his spiteful insults.”
“Judging by the conditions he put on the table, it’s obvious that he’s interested in you that way. Try it anyway. Desperate times call for desperate measures.”
She could not fathom how Shaun had transformed her best friend into such a closed-minded person. “This is the address of his workplace. I got it from Chase.”
Catherine took a deep inhale as she looked at the address.
Her fate was in her hands, and she could not throw the chance away.
Before that, she prepared Shaun’s favorite dish, packed it in a food container, and drove toward Jennings Solicitors.
This was her first time at his workplace. She walked into the building and explained her intention to the receptionist.
The latter made a phone call before getting back to her. “Mr. Hill is in a meeting with clients. Please wait.”
Half an hour passed by as she waited.
