"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing the voice, Hester came to herself from the conversation that night. She shook her head slightly
and concentrated on reading the documents in her hand. Since she had promised Austin, she had to
read the information.
And Lucas' law office was no longer convenient to go back, so she registered and opened her own law
office. It's better to be a boss by yourself than to be suppressed by others.
After hearing the news, Lucas called Jessie to be her assistant.
Hester was glad to accept this decision. In the past few days at home, as her assistant, Jessie naturally
had a tacit understanding between the two.
"No, I'm not. I'm just not used to staying at home for such a long time."
Hester took a sip of the coffee and said with a bitter smile.
"I'm flattered, Miss April. I haven't been able to keep up with you since I took over the case. If you don't
get used to it, then I've made no progress in the past few days, instead, I've regressed."
Jessie frowned and looked at Hester bitterly. She had thought that her study these days could help her.
However she just came to help her sort out the documents.
"Don't be discouraged. When you were with me before, you were able to get involved in some cases.
Naturally, you grew fast during that period of time."
Hester lowered her head and played with the cup in her hand, feeling a little guilty.
"But it's all my fault. If I hadn't resigned, you wouldn't have been stagnant because no one took care of
you!"
Jessie was flattered by Hester's words. She had never complained about Hester. If it weren't for her,
she wouldn't have been like this!
"Miss April, please don't say that! If you hadn't chosen me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stay
in this law office with my qualifications. How could I have such a good fortune today?"
Looking at Jessie's frightened face, Hester couldn't help but think of herself. She used to be so
compliant, afraid that she would say something wrong and do something wrong.
After all, she had chosen Jessie for a little selfish reason. She didn't want her to take too many detours
like her or be despised.
It was also because she felt the same way that she took special care of her. As long as it was her case,
she would try her best to take Jessie with her and let her work together to accumulate some
experience.
"Jessie, you have to remember that you are a good girl! You are the only Jessie in the world. You are
the most special person in the world.
Maybe you are not so skillful, but you can work to the current position all depending on your own ability.
So you don't have to feel inferior, understand?"
Tears welled up in Jessie's eyes as she looked at Hester. No one had ever said this to her. Her family
were so indifferent to her, and naturally she was deeply moved.
She held Hester and burst into tears.
"Miss April, I will follow you all my life and repay you."
Hester's expression froze, and then she raised her hand and gently patted her back. She felt helpless
but didn't stop her. It was better to say something frankly than to keep it in the bottom of her heart.
Yam took the food she made to the downstairs of the law office. After hesitating for a while, she walked
in.
"Hello! I want to see Miss April!"
Jessie raised her head with a decent smile. Before the law office took shape, she acted as the front
desk when there was nothing else.
"Sorry, please wait a moment!"
She turned around and walked into the office. After knocking on the door for a while, she turned back
and raised her hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Please come in!"
"Thank you!"
Yam nodded slightly and said thanks. She looked around from the corner of her eyes and felt sarcastic.
Hester used to be inferior in everything. But she was able to set up her own office now.
There was not much jealousy. It was just that time flew and people couldn't help sighing.
Opening the door, Yam looked at Hester, who was working hard with her head down. A strange
emotion flashed through her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Hearing the sound, Hester raised her head from the document and raised her eyebrows in confusion.
She thought it was a customer, but it turned out to be an acquaintance!
"Yam? Why are you here?"
Raising the food in her hand, Yam looked at Hester with a smile, as if the conversation that had ended
in discord a few days ago had never existed.
"Since you have just set up a law office recently, I'm sure you won't have time to have meals on time,
so I'm thinking about sending it to you when it's ready. It's cleaner than you ordered some food without
nutrition!"
Hester looked down at the dishes on the table, and her heart trembled inexplicably. Perhaps, in some
of her cognition, something would change!
There was never an eternal opposite relationship in this world, but something would change as time
went by.
"I know you don't like me, but I really don't change my opinion of you. Maybe it's because of such a big
change in my family that I have grown a lot and changed my attitude towards something.
I admit that I looked down upon you at that time. You were just an orphan, and you were just a deaf.
How could you stand beside Terence? So I did something against you.
But when I experienced the difficulties, I realized how it felt to be trampled underfoot. I think you were
the same as me, weren't you?"
Yam sat aside and opened the lunch boxes one by one, preparing the lunch of Hester. She lowered her
eyes and nodded, with a trace of sadness for no reason.
She looked very calm, which made people feel sad. There was no trace of the past in front of her, as if
she had changed completely.
"Human beings are very strange creatures. They don't understand the bitterness until they experience
it personally. Maybe it's because I'm too comfortable in my daily life that I look down on you.
When I met you in the community, I couldn't help but have a whim. Maybe God let me meet you again
because he wanted me to make up for the mistakes I had made!"
Hearing Yam's long story, Hester didn't know how to describe her current state of mind. There were
bitterness, excitement, and perhaps a little pleasure!
She was not a holy being, nor could she reconcile herself to the past. She had been avoiding Yam
because she couldn't let go of her past.
"I really appreciate that you can speak out your thoughts frankly. If possible, we may try to be
friends!"
