At eight o'clock in the morning I received a call from Ashley, with the sound of music in the distance.

His voice was gentle and calm, "Lavender." ”

"Boss, what's wrong, what's wrong? I'm still at home and I'm getting ready to go to the law firm. "I clipped the phone, put on a little lipstick in the mirror, and reported my trip.

Due to the need for overtime and business trips, law firms have always been not strict in attendance management. At V.A., except for the new trainee lawyers, paralegals, and administrative staff, all other lawyers do not need to clock in and out, and can come to the firm at their own pace.

"It's okay, you take your time, I'm downstairs at your house."

Stunned.

Specially to pick me up? I looked at today, it was not a special day, and I hurriedly took my bag and changed my shoes, and trotted all the way down.

I saw Ashley leaning on the car, wearing a thin Burberry trench coat, a pure white shirt, black underwear, and a trouser pocket with one hand, Yushu stood there in the wind.

"Are you going to take me to meet any clients today, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, don't think about it, why can't I come to pick you up from work? Occasionally be compassionate and compassionate to subordinates. Have you had breakfast? ”

"Not yet, I wanted to go to Starbucks."

"How about taking you to a delicious noodle soup?"

Can I still say no, everyone is in the passenger seat, and naturally you have to listen to him wherever you go.

Ashley turned left and right, through the alley, to the restaurant.

"Boss, I want two bowls of beef noodles." Before he could sit down, Ashley shouted, like a boy next door. We sat facing the doorway, Ashley with one hand on his chin and the other on the table, looking anxious and childish.

The ordered noodles were quickly served, and two large bowls of steaming were placed upright on the table.

"Take a sip of soup first to warm your stomach."

The real food is hidden in the market.

It's really fragrant, the handmade noodles are very strong, the soup is also fragrant, the portion of beef and vegetables is very large, and a large bowl is sprinkled with chopped green onions.

"How? Are you still used to eating? Ashley gentlemanly handed me a tissue.

"Yes, it's delicious." I nodded.

"I see that you usually eat casually, salads, sushi, and you don't have time to cook yourself. This shop is my big one, and on a snowy morning, a bowl of beef noodles can be especially satisfied. ”

In the cozy old-fashioned breakfast shop, the middle-aged owner and his wife are happily busy, the crowd comes and goes, and through the white mist of the food, the professional men and women who have temporarily forgotten all the thorny problems smile at each other.

My eyebrows and eyes are crooked, he is beautiful and handsome, the two of them look at each other, and their hearts are in a trance for a while. Like the slow motion of a movie, it pulls faintly on the heart, and then fades away like ink, as if it is not there.

"Oh, Lavender, you're finally here. Did you know that I was going to trouble you today and came to the law firm so late? ”

As soon as I stepped into the office, the shrill sound of glass shattering.

Alas, it's Jojo again.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?" I put down my bag and went to the water cooler to grab a glass of water and handed it to her.

The interns, who watched the excitement outside the glass door, couldn't hold back their soft laughter when they heard the words "Sister Qiaoqiao". Yes, she is a few years older than me, and she is called a sister as a sign of respect. If you want to blame, you can only blame her for dressing up sweetly today, wearing tender pink, and her makeup is like a doll.

"What's wrong, how did Huanyu's case come to you? Wasn't the last meeting all decided, and you're still playing with me behind your back, right, when I don't know! "Among the highly educated, there are inevitably some shrews. Jojo took the glass and slammed it on the table, and I subconsciously stepped back. Although it was assigned to me by Ashley, I didn't fight for it myself, but it is not good to refute his face.

"Sister Qiao, I took the intellectual property case to Lavender to do," Ashley parked the car, pushed the door and walked in, "I'm sorry, because I'm busy with another big case recently, I may not have time to bring the intellectual property case, you can take the infringement lawsuit you received last night first, I believe you can handle it alone." ”

Qiao Qiao's face was still a little unbearable, and he was angry with one hand in his waist: "I've read the information of Huanyu for two days, how can I say that if you change people, you will change people, Ashley, you must give me an explanation." ”

"Sister Qiao, blame me for this matter, you dissipate your anger." As he spoke, he took out two tickets from his pocket and handed them to Qiao Qiao, "I heard my uncle say last time, you didn't see it as a drama of the National Center for the Performing Arts, and I specially asked someone to bring two tickets for tomorrow night's "Pride and Prejudice" a few days ago. ”

"Yes, Sister Qiaoqiao, I was also at fault, I didn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry."

Qiaoqiao went down the stairs, Ashley was the owner of the law firm, and she was not a partner, so the impact of shouting and screaming in this way was not good.

"Forget it, Ashley's arrangement must be in place. Lavender, if you don't understand Huanyu's case, come and ask me again, I'll help you, you know? ”

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qiaoqiao."

After Jojo left, Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at me, "Are you alright?" ”

"Of course it's fine. Oh yes, you came to pick me up today, are you afraid that if you are not there when I go to the law firm, I will not be able to cope with Sister Qiaoqiao? I quipped.

Ashley didn't answer, but walked straight up to me, getting closer and closer, the air suddenly froze, and I looked down at him no longer directly.

"In the future, will we have breakfast together every day?"
