Chapter 64
Marshall was very surprised too. He then smiled merrily as he walked toward her
“Ms Thompson, what a coincidence”
Stella felt amazed too. I bumped into him thrice in a few days‘ time. Rivera is huge. The odds of bumping into him once are so small, not to mention three times.
But, I felt a little guilty when he called me “Ms. Thompson“.
I didn’t think that we’d meet the third time when I gave him that name.”
She awkwardly said, “Yes. That’s a pretty big coincidence.”
Marshall pointed at her neck as he gently smiled, “You. Did your injury get better?”
Stella was stunned for a moment. She then remembered the wound he was asking her about was the wound she got from being scratched by the pregnant lady in the police station. She was a little surprised by his attentiveness.
“It’s healed. Thank you so much for that day.”
“It’s no trouble at all.” Marshall paused for a moment. “You’re alone?”
“I’m meeting someone. But, he hasn’t arrived yet.” She then softly murmured, “I wonder how did he get his certificate. He has no sense of time at all.”
Marshall froze for a second. He probed, “Are you meeting a lawyer?”
Stella was stunned. “How did you know?” She then immediately realized what was happening. “You’re that lawyer!”
Marshall softly laughed, “Yes. I’m that lawyer who has no sense of time.”
Stella felt extremely awkward. “That wasn’t what I meant… I thought you didn’t come. No, I didn’t think that you were a lawyer. You don’t look like one.”
Marshall pulled out the chair and sat across her. He looked interested, as he asked, “What does a lawyer supposed to look like?”
