President's Substitute Wife

I hung up and went out.

Sean had been very busy lately. I didn’t disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place I had arranged with Arthur.

I paid at the door and went upstairs to wait for him.

Because it was morning, there weren’t many people in the cafe. I sat down in the corner and ordered a cup of coffee and waited for him.

It was half past nine.

I sat there and thought about what I would say to Arthur later.

If Arthur refused me or hesitated, what could I say to impress him?

I thought of countless versions in my mind.

At ten o’clock I saw Arthur push open the door of the cafe. He looked around and saw me and strode towards me.

At this time, I was very worried. Maybe whether it could change depended on it.

Arthur sat down and put his briefcase by the side. Then he took out some papers and put them on the table and said, “Miss Jones, this is the information I prepared for this court session. Please have a look. Although they have lawyers, don’t worry. I...”

Before I could speak, Arthur talked about Inez and Marlin's case.

I quickly said, “Arthur, I don’t want to ask you about it. I’m very relieved of you.”

Arthur stopped immediately and looked at me coldly.

I took a sip of coffee and said, “actually, this time I’d like to ask you to speak for me...”

“I’m very sorry. Ming told me not to interfere with it. He threatened me that if I step in, my law firm will close and I might lose my lawyer’s card.”

Arthur interrupted and said.

What he said made me not know what to say.

I looked at Arthur and opened my mouth, but I couldn’t say a word.

What could I say?
