In My Desperate Time

After she leaves, I feel much more relaxed.

Linda couldn't seem to make her own judgement while Hilda was here.

Besides, there is another reason why I want to see Linda.

Before I came here, Mindy told me Linda and Hilda became friends because Linda worked for Terence.

Moreover, she is high up in the company.

After Terence died, she started her own business.

Now she is quite powerful.

If she knows what Hilda is capable of, she might be my valuable ally in taking Hilda out.

The lawyer shouldn't hear what I am going to say, so I smile gratefully at him and say, "Thank you for coming with me. I think Linda and I can understand each other well, so I won't waste your precious time further."

The lawyer probably has other things to do, so he nods and leaves.

Linda's lips tremble slightly.
