My dear lawyer

her love while she was troubled, which he thought would probably destroy the good image he had managed in front of Vivian.

"My apology! I couldn't help myself." John rubbed between his eyes and looked at Vivian sincerely. He had to break this embarrassing atmosphere. The tie between them was not strong enough. Indeed, it was more like his wishful thinking. He really shouldn't be expecting Vivian shook her head and kept it down, trying to hide her facial expression. "It's all right. It's my fault," she said with a low voice. John didn't know what to say but could only smile at her kindness and thoughtfulness.

"No! I shouldn't be pushing you hard. I know you still have feelings for William. I can understand that. Once you fall in love with someone, you can't just go over it readily. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been retaining my keen affection of you after 4 years. Just like I said before, I'll be waiting for you for as long as it takes." John said with a gentle smile.

How sweet he was!

Vivian looked right into his eyes and was speechless. John had never done anything harmful to her. If there was a list of who were the nicest people to her in the world, John must be among the top at the list. She was so moved that sometimes she was even angry with herself for that she loved William not John. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so painful.

"Alright, it's getting late. Although I know you are a born beauty, it's good for you to go to bed early. Let's go and check our home I have prepared." John said delightfully, trying to ease her awkwardness.

Vivian smiled, curling up the corners of her mouth. She felt much better now.

When starting the engine, John heard Vivian's commitment. She said, "I need some more time, John. I might, love you as much as you love me." This alone was a great comfort to him. All the things he had done for her so far had paid off.

It was getting dark. People working in Jin'an Central Plaza Shopping Mall were off duty. Daniel walked down the stairs among his exhausted subordinates. At the gate, Daisy appeared from nowhere. She stood in the dark and stared at Daniel with a pathetic and complaining look.

Daniel frowned, "Why are you here with that look? Why don't you wait in the office?"

"Roe is missing. You said he was in the hospital with his parents. But I have been to the hospital. Roe was not there. And nobody in the hospital would tell me anything. Did you told them to do so? You didn't find Roe, did you? You lied to me so that I wouldn't be worried, right?" Daisy pouted and stared at Daniel. She couldn't believe it. Her brother did take good care of her but she was also subject to many restrictions. One case in point was that she grew up like a nun, not having any chance to know any man, while other girls of her age had been dating. She had a crush on Six-ears but she had no idea where he was currently. She couldn't find Six-ears or Roe, which drove her mad. In Jin'an City, there was only one man who could make two people just disappear. She couldn't suspect anyone but her dear elder brother, Daniel.

Daniel stared at Daisy, "I have told you. It's none of your business. Why are you so keen on Roe?"

"Roe is my good friend." Daisy replied with anger.

"Childish!" Daniel sneered and went straight to get in his car, leaving Daisy alone.

"You haven't told me where they are!" Daisy said, staring at Daniel.

"They?" Daniel said, raising his eyebrows. It turned out she was actually after someone else, he thought.

Daisy blushed. Without thinking, she got in the car and said, shaking Daniel's hand, "I don't care. I must find out where Six-ears and Roe are now. I need to see them in person. Otherwise, I'll be sitting on pins and needles."

"I don't know." Daniel answered, sitting in the car with a serious look, which made him look gloomy in the darkness. He closed his eyes and leaned on his back comfortably, turning a blind eye to his younger sister.

Daisy didn't care, understanding he was just giving her the turnaround. She was about to say something when the driver said, "Miss Daisy, Mr. Daniel must be very tired after a busy day. How about you talk with him sometime tomorrow?" Daisy bit her words when glancing at Daniel's black circles. So she turned her head against Daniel angrily.

When the car had left, a voice came from a car parking on the side not far away from the building, "It seems Daniel cares a lot about Daisy." The people in the car couldn't be seen in the darkness.

Another man said in disregard to his useless comment, "Daniel's Dad had romantic affairs all his life. But Daisy is his only sister. Of course he cares about her. Otherwise, Six-ears wouldn't have been able to take advantage of Daisy."

The car under the flickering light was filled with smoke which made people cough in such a confined space.

They were Joe and James. Joe blinked his eyes and said, "In that case, Six-ears should not be at the Shen Family for sure. But I don't think Daniel will leave the tricky Six-ears to someone else, unless..." The two looked at each other and Joe continued, "They are close partners?"

"Or close enemies." James said.

"You mean Jack?" Joe frowned and said, "No. It couldn't be him." shaking his head, "Even if Daniel wanted to control Jack, he wouldn't have trusted it to the disloyal Six-ears."

Suddenly, something flashed into Jame's mind, "Think about it. Since Daniel is now in contact with Eric, what can he benefit from Six-ears?"

"Definitely he will continue to make use of the networking of Six-ears." Joe looked at James in lost.

James sneered, "Idiot. Everyone knows we are coming after Daniel. We just couldn't find any evidence of his misconduct. And now, he shows no fear of us and even faces the big trouble all out. He might have been sacrificing his minor interests to safeguard his major interests or just looking for a scapegoat."

"You mean his deal with Eric?" Joe figuring out he was thinking the opposite.

James looked at him scornfully, "Try again."

Joe was still confused.

James felt worried at Joe's dumbness. No wonder he could lose track of a person. He was doing worse and worse. "Let me tell you. Or it can be..."

"Old Larry?" Joe suddenly got it.

James ridiculed at Joe, "You should work harder on your slow wit. Shame on you!"
