Maya's weekend was a bit uneasy.
On the one hand, she was happy that she had obtained evidence of Jason's cheating and violence, but on the other hand, she felt guilty for deceiving Damian. It felt like... if she wasn't happy about being able to divorce, it would be a little less deceiving to Damian.
She was fidgeting with this absurd emotional split. In the end, she simply went out with her computer on her back, found a coffee shop, dug out the framework template of the prenuptial agreement, and made the first draft of the agreement for Mr. Ryan's case.
Extra work on the weekends got her an over-the-top affirmation from her superior on Monday. Sophia clapped her hands together like a seal, as happy as if Maya had completely settled the case.
"You are amazing. My dear, y
The client's home is in a high-end apartment building in the city center. A large penthouse on the 19th floor.The living room is simple in black, white and gray, and there are no more colors in the artwork decoration on the wall. Most of the furniture is cold and hard metal, with sharp edges and corners, sharp and ostentatious.It is very consistent with the customer's clothing style.Client's fiancée Emma is very different. She was wearing a long linen dress in primary colors, with long curly hair like small wool, and the makeup on her face was mainly warm orange, making her look dreamy.The voice of this dreamy fiancée was also a little psychedelic: "Hi, nice to see you again." She saw Maya and Damian, stood up to say hello, and introduced a less dreamy
Said that, Maya lowered her head and sent a message to Sophia: The customer took the initiative to increase the billable man-hours, and I found a way to finish the work as soon as possible. I want to simplify the process, is that okay?For half a minute, Sophia didn't reply.Maya called and reminded her to read the messages.Sophia laughed loudly on the phone: "This case is entrusted to you, you can do whatever you want.""Okay." Maya replied firmly, and hung up the phone.Then, she turned to Ryan and tilted her head: "Mr. Ryan, can you explain to me, under what circumstances did Emma request to amend the terms of the prenuptial agreement?"When Ryan returned to the couch, he lay
Oops.Hearing Sarah's elated voice, Maya's first reaction was trouble. During the period after the wedding, she told Sarah about changing jobs, about Damian's help, about the restaurants she liked to eat recently and the books she read, but she didn't talk about her relationship with Jason.Every time Sarah asks why aren't there travel photos updated? Are you happy after marriage? What is the difference between marriage and love? When asked of these questions, Maya always finds excuses, or interrupts and ambiguously slide through.Always avoiding topics like this, as smart as Sarah, must feel something is wrong. It's just that Sarah's behavior style has always been like this. She won't ask you to tell her directly, but will ask you her questions repeatedly until you are willing to speak, or directly prohibit her fro
Maya entered the office 10 minutes early on Friday.When getting out of the elevator, Sarah sent a voice message. The voice from the earphones is full of energy: M, I had breakfast at Kitten's Paw, we used to eat at, remember? The sun is shining today, and the college lawn is full of people!After listening to the message, Maya curled up her lips, lowered her head and typed on the phone: Again egg pancakes with iced latte? I'm at the office.The message was sent out, and Sarah's reply also came: Yessssss! You are getting a colleague to represent you in your own divorce today, right?Maya raised her head to say hello to the girl at the front desk of the law firm, and continued typing: Yes. Don't worry, everything will be handled by professionals.
Sophia's joke made Maya's mood experience another roller coaster. Coupled with the little pressure from Ryan just now, she felt a little exhausted in her limbs and stomach now that she finally got a moment to breathe. And it's not even lunchtime yet.It can only be said that this morning's experience is too rich.She stepped back and took a deep breath to calm herself. Then she smiled apologetically at Sophia: "The other party's character and occupation may be a little troublesome."Jason was still waiting for her to bow her head.Even though they had a huge blow out in front of so many people, Maya knew he was still waiting. With all his arrogance, narcissism and prejudice against the world, waiting.He may even be con
The weather was fine Sunday morning, the sun was bright and warm. Many leaves in the park have changed color, green, yellow, and red are layered on top of each other, which is refreshing to look at. A gust of wind blew, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground. Many children ran on the side of the road and in the grass, picking up one or two leaves from the ground, and holding them in their hands to look at them curiously.Maya thought of Madeline a little uncontrollably. After she learned to walk, she was also like the children in this park. She was curious about everything, and she liked to walk around staggeringly, and went to have a look when she found something.Most of the new life is very good, only Madeline, who can't come back, is Maya's only regret."Am I late?"
On Monday, Maya officially started cycling to work.At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun is not strong, but it has the unique bright feeling of the morning sun. When passing through a traffic jam on the street, it is very pleasant to overtake the slow-moving cars.Under Damian's guidance, Maya learned that the underground garage of the building can actually store bicycles. Just enter from another entrance of the building, take the freight elevator down, and there is a bicycle storage point not far away.However, when she was eager to continue the work she received on Friday, she was notified: Sophia was out to meet clients and would not come in all day. In addition to the notice of returning to daily work, Sophia also sent a side note through the work system, to the effect that her divorce lawyer letter will
Fortunately, Maya has developed a good habit of recording incoming calls since the first time she received Jason's swearing call.Just listening to the recording once, Sophia fully understands Jason's attitude and demands."I'm sorry but I have to ask, how did you endure him for so long?" After listening to the recording, Sophia didn't immediately give a solution, but asked this question. She looked at Maya with a playful and surprised expression, tapping the table with her middle finger and ring finger of her right hand, looking genuinely confused and curious.Maya wanted to find a place to hide under her observing eyes.She couldn't answer Sophia's question. If she has to answer how, it may be because she has endured too many stranger things in her 4 years as a housewife, or it may be because she knows that Jason can be way worse than this.All unanswerable answers. Besides, now she still has to work hard to maintain her rational, calm, and well-contained workplace image.So, she s
