Heart Hunting

Time passes fast.

It has been three days since pornographic incident of Jean happened. Poppy has been making excuse that she is on a business trip to avoid meeting Jean. Until she makes sure that Jean has found another lawyer to deal with the matter, she finally decides to show up. Jean's nose seems to be more sensitive than the dog's. Just as Poppy turns on her phone, Jean calls her.

She doesn't answers it until the second call.

Poppy slowly answers the phone. Before she speaks, Jean has took the initiative to speak, "lawyer Poppy, finally you turn on your phone! Where are you now? I didn't find you in the firm, and your phone was not on service, either. I almost thought you're evaporate!" "I went to New York a week ago, so I didn't use my domestic sim card." Poppy answers her calmly.

"Fine. I'm in a big trouble, have you seen the news?" Jean stops tangles whether she had actually been abroad. She directly tells Poppy the intention of her phone call.

Poppy replies in a cold tone, "that fitness coach must have been bribed. He got close to you on purpose to take those pictures. But sorry, I'm not going to deal with this case."

"You don't want to earn money? It's too late to talk about that coach. I'll give you a million. Please help me sue that forum!" Jean doesn't believe that money can't make her take this case.

Poppy walks to the balcony, looking at the bright morning sunlight, her eyes almost close. And she rejects decisively, "no. I won't take it. Even if it is 10 million, I won't take it, either. You can only blame yourself for being too stupid in this matter. You can't stand the loneliness, and it leads you to the trap that someone else sets."

The one who set this trap must be Hilda, but now it is not the best time for Poppy to show up. If Hilda knows Poppy has come back now, then Poppy's plans would be messed up.

"Lawyer Poppy, don't be so arrogant. If it isn't for the last time you help me win that estate case, I wouldn't come to you this time. There are also many capable lawyers outside your firm, don't think that..."

"Then just find another one! Besides, I've reminded you before, the Greens would definitely not let go of you. But you didn't take it seriously. And now even you win the lawsuit, you can't win your reputation back. You will only make the scandal bigger." Poppy stands in the sunshine, but the coldness is still in her eyes.

"What do you mean? Don't think you are so proud to even look down on money. Let's wait and see how long you can be so arrogant."

"That's all I want to tell you. Anyway, I can't help you in this case!" After saying, Poppy hand up the phone. She has told Jean everything she wants to say. It's not necessary to talk to her for long.

"Knock knock-" Someone knocks at the door. Poppy looks up and finds it is Mrs. Murphy. She stands at the door and looks at Poppy.

"Good morning, Mrs. Murphy."

Mrs. Murphy waves to her, "Poppy, stop talking on the phone, go downstairs for breakfast."

After hearing, Poppy does feel a little hungry. She puts away her mobile phone and responds, "okay!"

Mrs. Murphy then take another look at the room, and she frowns her eyebrows. "Where's Kenny? Why don't I see him in such an early morning?"

They come out of the room at the same time. Poppy smiles and replies, "I don't know."

Mrs. Murphy looks at her in surprised, "how come you don't know where he is? Weren't you together last night?"

It's so strange! Since Poppy lived here, Mrs. Murphy has been observing every night. Kenny has stayed in her room for the last two nights.

But Mrs. Murphy was too sleepy last night, so that she went to bed early and didn't pay attention to them.

Poppy knows what Mrs. Murphy means. She shows a tricky smile and says, "your son is not good at sex. He was kicked out by me last night." "What?!" Mrs. Murphy gets stunned, "he's not good at..." sex?

How terrible!

Mrs. Murphy sighs in heart.

Poppy takes a meaningful look at her and takes the initiative to walk into the dining room.

Due to Poppy's meaningful look, Mrs. Murphy starts thinking. Oh my gosh! Is Kenny really...not good at it? No wonder he can't take care of this little goblin after so many days.

Poppy looks at the upset expression on Mrs. Murphy's face, and laughs in heart. Mrs. Murphy is so easy to be cheated! Poppy eats her pancakes and drinks the milk slowly. Somehow she begins to enjoy this kind of life a little bit. She praises Mrs. Murphy as usual. "The pancakes you made are really delicious!"

Mrs. Murphy doesn't pay much attention to it. She pulls out the chair that next to Poppy and sits down, asking with a extremely serious expression. "Poppy, does the time he did it last too short? Or is he unable to do that?"

Although this topic is a bit awkward, as a parent, Mrs. Murphy can't help worrying about Kenny's health.

However, Poppy answers casually. "Both."

"Oh, my...!" Mrs. Murphy almost cries. "How can I have a grandson?"

She expected them to give life to her grandson at first. But now...

Poppy, regardless of Mrs. Murphy's self-imagination, takes another slice of pancakes to eat. The phone on the table rings at this time. Mrs. Murphy glances at it and finds it is from Kenny. She grabs over the phone, "Kenny, are you really unable to have sex?" Poppy didn't expect her to ask so directly. She is choked a little and coughs. Poppy gets her phone back, "Mrs. Murphy, you can ask him about it after he comes back!"

"What did you tell my mom again?" When hearing Poppy's voice, Kenny immediately questions her.

"You'll know after you come back! Anything important?" Poppy answers.

Mrs. Murphy is anxious. But she knows that Kenny must call Poppy for important matter. She can only try to calm herself down and ignores her doubts."

"The Greens are bidding this morning." He call her to tell her about it.

Poppy drinks the milk and replies calmly, "I've done what I should do. As for the result, it's not something I can control."

She is not 100% sure of the result, but she knows the company which has the fatal plan book of the Greens will definitely not give them a chance to win.

"How about we make a deal?" This is the second purpose of Kenny's call. "I can guarantee that the Greens will definitely lose in the bidding."

Poppy sneers, this man is calculating her. She looks at the milk in the glass and says, "what kind of deal can make you so confident?"

"You know the company of Noel's family? The Navi Group, has a little trouble."

Poppy puts down the milk glass and walks to the French window, putting her arms around her chest, saying, "since it's the company of his family, why don't you let him talk to me?" Kenny laughs and says, "didn't you blocklist his phone number?"

Poppy doesn't show up these days as if she suddenly disappears. Noel doesn't know she is in Kenny's home. It is really difficult for him to find her.

With such a reminding, Poppy finally recalls that it is true.

"Are you gonna take this case?" Kenny is sure it's beneficial for Poppy. "It's no harm to you."

Poppy certainly knows that, too. After thinking for a while, she accepts it. "Sure, why not? But...I will charge it, even you guarantee that the Greens won't get the project in the bidding."

"No problem. Noel will pick you up at home and take you to Navi to get more information about it." Kenny tells her.

Poppy feels that his relationship with Noel is a little confusing. "How come I didn't find that you care so much about Noel before?"

"Men's friendship is like women's heart."
