Heart Hunting novel Chapter 76

The next day is a great sunny day. In this season with a profusion of garden flowers, beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere on the streets and roads.

In the law firm.

Mrs. Murphy looks at the bright and generous facade design, and she nods her head with satisfaction. It seems that the law firm Poppy in is really good.

Leads by the receptionist, she arrives at Poppy's office smoothly. When Poppy sees Mrs. Murphy, she is surprised. "Mrs. Murphy? How do you know my working place?"

Mrs. Murphy covers her mouth and smiles. She is so proud for her cleverness. "I secretly call Aaron, Kenny's assistant, to ask about it."

"I see..." Poppy glances at the thermos bottle in Mrs. Murhphy's hand, and shows a complicated feeling in her eyes. After she had a quarrel with Kenny last night, why Mrs. Murphy is still so nice to her?

Poppy thinks it a bit unbelievable.

Mrs. Murphy puts the thermos on the table. She opens it and asks, "was the fish soup good last night?"

The air pervades with the smell of meat. Poppy thinks of the fish soup she didn't finished last night. For a while, she feels sorry for Mrs.Murphy. She says, "it was great."

Mrs. Murphy's heart is filled with satisfaction. "That's good. Come here. Have some black chicken soup first. I heard that you get your period. You need to take good care of yourself."

Poppy is a little confused. She doesn't get her period yet.

Mrs. Murphy doesn't pay attention to her expression and continues, "you did it right last night. You can't do that kind of thing with a man when you get your period. It's right to drive Kenny away."

Poppy finally figures out what's going on. Kenny must didn't tell his mother the truth. Poppy lowers her head and drinks the chicken soup quietly.

Mrs. Murphy, on the other hand, still keeps talking. "I fixed that little jerk last night. Don't be afraid. If he still wants to bully you in the future. Just tell me, I will help you."

"Is the soup good? Be careful not to choke."

Mrs. Murphy's concern really makes Poppy have to face up to her. It has to be said that Poppy is really moved by Mrs. Murphy. She nods and slows down the speed of soup drinking.

Poppy keeps drinking without saying a word. Mrs. Murphy observes her carefully. In fact, this girl is really pretty.

If Kenny can be with her, it would be a loss.

Mrs. Murphy says, "sometimes my son is just a little impulsive, but he's a good man."

"Please don't mind what happened last night. I blamed him, and he won't do that again." Mrs. Murphy's voice surrounds in Poppy's ear and radiates warmth.

"Knock Knock..." The knocking sound interrupts Mrs. Murphy.

Poppy just finishes the soup. She wipes her mouth and answers, "come in!"

It is the assistant Claire. She holds a large number of files, which is really surprising to Mrs. Murphy.

Claire goes straight to Poppy. "Lawyer Poppy, Mr. Lewis said he was too busy to handle these cases."

Mrs. Murphy gets shocked. Poppy is just a girl. How could she finish so many cases?

Mrs. Murphy feels unhappy. She asks Claire angrily, "where is Mr. Lewis?"

Poppy doesn't know what Mrs. Murphy is going to do. Before she asks, Mrs. Murphy has hurried out of the office.

Arno's move is a common thing. Now the firm is developing more and more fast. After its fame, there are many clients come to them to fight a lawsuit. He can't handle it all by himself. Assigning some cases to her can not only release his work load, but also practice her ability.

Mrs. Murphy comes to Arno's office and knocks on the door out of politeness.

When she hears the answer, she walks in. Arno doesn't know who she is. He asks, "what can I do for you, madam?"

Mrs. Murphy sits down and says, "I'm here to reason with you."
