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.
