Angela sat on the hospital bed eating the dragon fruit without making much noise; she was not a self-starter, before or now.
"The eloquence of a good lawyer is not eloquence, and how many mistakes will the opposing party uncover by your brainless blabbering like this?"
Sean knocked Raya's head.
Raya's eyes dribbled around, as if a pause switch pressed, and she was instantly quiet.
However, it only lasted for ten minutes, "Your name's Angela, isn't it?
Angela, do you still have to go back to work at the Dream Club after you are discharged from the hospital this time?"
"...um.”
Angela's movement of eating the dragon fruit paused for once, a glimmer of gloom flashed at the bottom of her eyes, and she did not know if her plan to seduce James would work.
Even if she succeeded, would he really let her leave the Dream Club?
Maybe after playing with her, he would still leave her at the Dream Club to humiliate her.
However, even if there was little hope, she had to try. There was no other way out for her.
“I still have to go back..."
Raya's baby face crinkled into a ball, as she suddenly remembering something. She jumped up, wrapped her arms around Sean's neck, wrapped her legs around his waist, and hung onto his body.
Seeing this, Angela accidentally choked, and she coughed twice, pulling out a tissue and wiping the dragon fruit off the corner of her mouth.
"You go down."
Sean was afraid that she would fall and said with his hands holding her up.
"Master-"
Raya wrapped her arms around his neck and swayed back and forth, pouting.
"Aren't you good friends with Mr. Harvey?
Just ask him to let Angela off, okay?"
Angela was slightly stunned, she had heard that James had a good friend who was a lawyer, but the other party had been studying abroad, she had not seen it, and it turned out to be Sean.
Her eyes flickered, if he interceded for her in front of James, that might work.
Sean swept a thoughtful glance at her, and then pushed the gold-rimmed glasses almost shaken off by Raya, "You go down first."
"You promise me first!"
Raya was insisting, "Master, isn't the task of a lawyer to punish evil and promote good?
Angela is being bullied by James, so help her!"
Sean corrected calmly, "You're talking about prosecutors and police, lawyers only serve for money."
Seeing that he had no intention of helping, Angela wanted to say 'I appreciate Raya's kindness', but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.
She clutched the sheets tightly and lowered her eyes, her breathing slightly sharper than usual.
She can see that Sean loved Raya, his apprentice. In case, he agreed, and then her hope of leaving the Dream Club would come true!
"Master-!"
Raya shouted, "If you don't say yes, I won't go down!"
Sean was unmoved, "Then hang on, just don't complain again when your hands get sore."
“...”
Raya instantly wilted and muttered.
"No wonder you're good friends with that ruthless James, you're just like him..."
Angela swallowed the dragon fruit in her mouth, a glimmer of gloom flashed in her eyes, "Thank you Raya for helping me twice. You shouldn't make things difficult for Sean, he should have his own difficulties too."
Raya let go of Sean's neck and dropped onto the ground, twisting uncomfortably, "Actually, my master isn't bad. His parents told him to stay away from your brother's case, and he immediately withdrew the case."
