Heart Hunting

Their car is at the side of the road. Kenny and Poppy return to the car. Poppy pulls the safety belt to buckle up. But it is strange that after she presses the lock several times, the seat belt is still untied, which makes her frowns anxiously. "What's wrong?" Kenny looks at her confusedly. He untied his seat belt and leans forward to her.

"I don't know. Something's wrong with the seat belt." Says Poppy, and again she tries to buckle up.

"Let me check." Kenny's deep voice stirs in her ears. With the close distance, the warm breath from the his nose sprinkles on her neck, which makes her a little itchy.

"OK." She manages to conceals the feeling and transfers her attention.

Kenny leans forward to get closer. From the perspective of the front, it's very similar to the scene of kissing by borrowing shooting in the movies. The only different is that their attention now are both focused on the lock, and no one realizes how ambiguous they are at this time.

A short while later, with a sound of "click", the problem's solved.

"All right." Kenny looks up at her as he speaks.

But at the same time, Poppy happens to raises her cheek. At the moment when they both looks at each other, Kenny's eyes flash a kind of cunning light, then he kisses her on the lips.

"Ummm..." Poppy tries to push him away subconsciously, but is stops by him. He moves away from her lip to kiss her ear and says, "little goblin, I'm just teaching you how to kiss. After all, your kissing skill is so terrible."

Poppy doesn't want to admit it. "Who are you talking about?"

"Is there any other person here except you?"

Poppy isn't convinced. She get closed to him and kisses him angrily.

Little boy, you were not born yet when I kiss others! How dare you to say that I am poor at kissing!

Kenny gets what he wants. He was just stimulating her just now. When she kisses him, he hugs her in arms and takes back the initiation.

The ambiguous atmosphere spreads in the car. Kenny enjoys kissing her soft lips. Poppy bites his tongue.

He feels a little pain, and can't help sobbing, "are you crazy? You were biting, not kissing."

"That's exactly my kissing skill. Dare to try it again?"

"Come on!"

They keep kissing, and they are not willing to give in to each other, which constantly catalyze the hot air in the car.

The night becomes more and more ambiguous.

It has been raining for several days. The wet air is mixed with a sticky feeling, which makes people uncomfortable.

At MD building..

With the sound of the elevator, the door opens. Poppy comes out of the elevator and adjusts her clothes. She is far from entering the office, but she already finds it very busy in the office. She feels a little puzzled. Is there anything new? "Lawyer Greg, is Paris fun?"

"Lawyer Greg, did you go to Paris for fun or for business?"

"Lawyer Greg, thank you for the perfume you brought me. I love it."

...

The staffs of the office are all around a man. Maybe it's because they all have gifts, they look very happy.

Poppy walks in and looks around. She just takes a look and then knows what's going on.

"Well, I'm glad you love the gift. And I went to Paris for fun and business at the same time. You know, that kind of small case wouldn't be hard for me." Greg, who is surrounded by others, notices Poppy coming in when speaking. He is dressed in a suit, and looks elegant and handsome, with a sense of laziness in his eyes.

"Good morning, lawyer Poppy."

...

Someone greets Poppy, then Greg Diaz recognizes who she is. He takes the initiative to walks to her.

He reaches out enthusiastically to her. "Hi, lawyer Poppy, nice to meet you. I'm Greg, the other partner of this office. I'm Arno's classmate. He has mentioned you to me..."

"Nice to see you." Poppy is too lazy to listen to his chatter. She interrupts him and ignores his hand, walking straight to her own office room.

Greg doesn't care to be ignored by her. He watches Poppy leaving, and withdraws his hand.

As expected, she is really a cold person.

The fans around step forward and says, "Lawyer Greg, please don't be mad at her, that's just what lawyer Poppy is like. She is the same to us, always getting along with colleagues in a formulaic way, except Mr. Lewis." On Poppy's way to her office room, she passes by Arno's. Although the door is open, he isn't inside. At this time, Jeremy happens to walks over, Poppy asks him, "where's Mr. Lewis?"

"Mr. Lewis has to deal with a small case this morning. He has gone to the court, and will be back at about ten."

"I see." Poppy responds casually and then goes back to her office room.

Greg, who was treated with indifference, is a little unwilling to give up. In addition to the comfort of some girls in the firm, other male staffs start to kid.

"Lawyer Greg, turns out that you would also be ignored by someone, huh?"

"Lawyer Greg, seems like you have retrogressed after going to Paris."

"Lawyer Poppy is famous for her cold and indifference. Lawyer Greg, it's hard to approach her, you know."

They joke one after another. Greg smiles, "I won't. But, it is OK to make friends, isn't it?"

He takes the gifts, and walks towards Poppy's office room.

He knocks the door. After hearing an answer from inside, he enters in and closes the door.

"Hey, lawyer Poppy. It's me, again." Greg comes in with a smile.

Poppy looks peaceful as if she is thinking about something.

Greg hands over the gifts and says, "lawyer Poppy, don't be so cruel to drive me out again, OK? Otherwise those guys outside will definitely tease me again." Poppy takes the gifts and says, "thank you."

She is not as surprised as the other girls in the firm, she is not so delighted, either. She is just calm and quiet with no expression, even when she takes the gifts.

This is Poppy, the unique Poppy.

Greg looks at her with appreciative. He pulls over the chair and sits down. "I am Arno's classmate. I heard that you are trained by him. So you are his apprentice, in that case, I should kind of be your eldership." What he says is eloquent, but Poppy pretends not to understand. "So?"

Then she lowers her head and goes on with her work.

Greg touches his nose awkwardly and says directly, "can't you just be a little more enthusiastic with me?"

Poppy thinks he's interesting. Although he is also kind of cheeky, but his eyes are pure. It can be told at first glance that he is not a libertine.

Poppy smiles. When she is about to talk, the sound of knocking interrupts her.

"Come in, please." Poppy takes her eyes off Greg.

Claire comes in in a hurry. Poppy looks at her with confusion. "What's wrong?"

Clair walks to her, and opens a website called Dark Forum by using Poppy's computer. She clicks at one of the posts to let Poppy read it. "Here. Something happened to Jean."

Poppy stares at the screen and read the content. She frowns hard as she reads.

Someone posted some sexual photos of Jean and another man on the forum. They were in different kinds of postures in the photos. Jean's face is very clear in the photos, while the man's facial features has been blurred through artificial processing. It must be someone's deliberate action!

Poppy reads all the content, and at the bottom of the post, there is even a website for downloading the video.

Poppy pauses and thinks for a few seconds. There are many kinds of guessing in her heart. She looks at the photos again. From the perspective of the photos, they must be photographed furtively.

Looking at these obscene photos, Poppy suddenly thinks of Hilda. She raises a sarcastic smile. "Seems like Hilda and Ethel are still not tired of playing this kind of trick yet." Poppy thinks.
