After that, he smiled at Ashton before leaving with his briefcase.
The moment Zander disappeared from our sight, Ashton reached out to look at the business card. “Zander Hoffman, legal apprentice from the Hawen K City division of the Tinsel Group Law Firm.”
Wait. He’s already a legal apprentice?
I looked at the business card curiously but Ashton sensed my gaze and instantly threw the card, landing it perfectly in the rubbish bin all the way in the corner of the room.
“Hey!” I punched him on the chest lightly. Zander was basically my first acquaintance in the field of law. Even if we never actually became friends, there was no reason to do that to his business card.
“Are you mad?” Ashton asked.
“Yep.” I nodded, staring at him with narrowed eyes.
Did he really get possessive over that?
Ashton suddenly turned the tables and leaned closer to me. He looked at my stomach and said, “That’s not good for the baby. You promised that you would take good care of the kids. Are you sure you’re still mad at me?”
“I…” I fell silent. He had a point.
After the bar exam, Professor Zidd flew out of the country to join an exchange program. He referred another doctor to me, someone named Dr. Alder. She was someone who had just come back after completing her studies in M Country and was apparently a top student in medical school. Professor Zidd was praising her so highly that he managed to raise both Ashton and my expectations.
