The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2524

[Two thousand four hundred and eighty-six out of time]

The sparse sunlight in autumn is slowly falling on the towering buildings, the blue-gray glass reflects the halo of brilliance, and the reinforced forest city has shallow fish scale waves, colorful and splendid light spots. Gently flickering, the magnificent and graceful scene is breathtaking.

It seems that New York has just entered autumn, and I haven’t had time to experience it in detail. The footsteps of winter can’t wait to approach, and it makes people feel more and more nostalgic for the moment when the long day is coming to an end; but unfortunately, the small box of the high-rise building is still busy. Running around, there is no way to slow down.

Cover up the tension and exhaustion behind the busy traffic, all year round.

“…if you can’t even do such a simple and basic job, then I don’t see the potential for you to be a good lawyer. Our job is to be rational and careful, and any mistake can lead to us losing. lawsuit.”

“I believe Harvard Law School should be more than that. Please don’t hold the Ivy League to be superior to others. It will only make you ugly. Please don’t pass the buck to the intern, it will only make you It seems stupid without knowing it.” A

steady but stern voice surged in the office, but the voice that was not raised deliberately burst out an overwhelming force in the thick tone, which continued heavily and muffled. With the impact, all the members who were participating in the meeting remained silent, not even daring to make eye contact, and the frightened low air pressure made it hard to breathe.

“Knock Knock!” The

knock on the door sounded out of time. It was obviously a terrible timing. It was like a head-on blow to the muzzle, which made people sweat for the poor bastard outside the office door; For people, it was a life-saving straw, and all eyes shifted in unison.

However, immediately you can feel the gaze projected from the front, slamming hard like an arrow, and the survival instinct brings all the sight back, and quietly lowers the head, lest it be a little later, I will Face the dragon’s wrath alone.

Yea.

The office door was slowly pushed open, and then a figure squeezed in. The terrified expression almost made him cry, especially when he saw those eyes full of anger swept over, the fear of the series of critical strikes made the sound stuck. In his throat, his mind instantly became blank.

“You’d better give me a perfect reason.”

The word came out from the depths of his throat, like a murmur from the depths of hell.

Lily-Dean didn’t want that either, how could she not know?

Never interrupt your regular morning meeting!

This is the first rule you learn after entering a law firm!

Especially in the past two days, this is even more so –

Matthew Dunlop, who is in charge of presiding over the meeting, can be said to be full of aura

. The firm’s senior partners wisely shy away, let alone other rank-and-file employees.

To make matters worse, Matthew’s meticulousness in his work is really amazing, and no small mistakes can escape his eyes.

Originally, there were complaints inside the company, but it turned out that the big boss was still listening honestly after being reprimanded by Matthew. Those complaints were instantly cut off, and no one dared to say anything more.

If possible, Lily didn’t want to interrupt the morning meeting. She didn’t even want to get close to the conference room, but… but the big boss

said, “If you interrupt, just interrupt.”

These little shrimps appeared, and Lily was also extremely aggrieved.

At this moment, Lily could feel Matthew’s calm but unfathomable eyes staring at her. Her entire back was covered with goose bumps. Her only thought was to turn around and flee, but the big boss’s words It was still echoing in her ears, and she could only bite the bullet and say.

“The Chase case has been postponed again, and their latest evidence has been approved by the prosecutor. What should we do?”

In just a few words, Lily could feel that the temperature in the entire conference room was decreasing, and even the sound of breathing was gradually disappearing. Everyone was doing their best to eliminate their sense of existence, lest they be attacked by the hurricane. Runaway Lily confronts Matthew.

“Inform the entire team to have a meeting immediately. After the morning meeting is over, I will go there.”

Matthew did not get angry, but his dull and serious voice revealed a kind of coldness in his bones, and the indoor air was in a free fall toward zero degrees. Continuing to approach, behind the concise and clear words hides a heavy impact, which seems to be felt even outside the office.

Lily didn’t say anything, she closed the door softly, completely cutting off Matthew’s line of sight. Only then did she realize that her entire back was soaked, and the panic made her palms tremble uncontrollably. Her knees became weak for a while, and she was almost unable to stand. She had to lean against the wall to support her body, but she still didn’t dare to relax. She had only one thought in her mind: get out of this office as soon as possible.

It’s just that the legs are a little out of order.

Indistinctly, Lily could hear the sound of rustling and rustling coming from the surrounding work booths. Her first reaction was to raise her middle finger and scolded back:

You guys, you only know how to watch a good show?

Are interns bullied?

But she knew she couldn’t, because in a law firm, interns were really easy to bully; what’s more, she really didn’t have the energy to pay attention to those gossip onlookers, and she didn’t have the energy to curse the whispers of schadenfreude, she needed to let Stand up and speak.

“Are you okay? Do you need help?”

A low, gentleman’s voice came from not far in front of him. The elegant London voice beat on the eardrum, with a faint hoarseness that could not be detected, as if sliding through the heart. Feather, invisibly calmed Lily’s panic and anxiety a little, and she hurriedly raised her head.

“Need not……”

In a law firm, an intern must not reveal her vulnerability, otherwise she will be torn to shreds by these beasts soon. She needs to be strong, but the words on her lips can’t help but slow down, “…Thank you… ‘ The voice finally disappeared in his throat.

Lily was a little stunned. Her brain, which had not been able to fully recover, was like being stuck in quicksand. It continued to run slowly, staring blankly at the face in front of her.

The other party stretched out her right hand towards Lily, and Lily also stretched out her right hand in such a stupid way, and successfully stood firm with the help of the other party.

The sparse and handsome eyebrows stretched out gently, like the clouds stretching out from the sky in the deep autumn, and there was a shallow gentle smile in the bottom of the eyes, like the warm sun in the late autumn. Letting out a sigh of enjoyment, I couldn’t help but close my eyes and wander in it.

“Maybe you need a cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate.”

The mellow voice said with a smile, but Lily couldn’t respond at all, and couldn’t even nod her head, and instantly felt that she was in the dream of her childhood. In the pink bubbles, the dream-like beauty and grace made her top-heavy, and she could only let herself be immersed in it.

“Excuse me, is the conference room where Matthew Dunlop is having a meeting next to this one?”

Lily finally reacted. She nodded, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but found that her mind was blank without any thoughts. , so he nodded again in affirmation.

“Thank you.”

After saying that, the other party released his right hand and continued to walk towards the office.

Lily finally came back to her senses, “Wait.” She tried to remind the other party, “Don’t…don’t…” Interrupting the meeting again at this time is definitely irrational, and her face is full of anxiety and anxiety. Fear, even more nervous and worried than when I just walked into the office.

Unexpectedly, the other party just turned his head, showed a bright smile, put his finger on his lips, “shhh”, and opened the door in the next second.

“Bang!”

The muffled sound of pushing the door came, Lily couldn’t help closing her eyes tightly, and she couldn’t help curling up, but… the expected roar didn’t appear, only silence, even too much It was so quiet that the panic could not help but surge up again, making people wonder:

what happened inside?

Lily hesitated for a moment, and was about to approach the gate a little, trying to catch clues, but before she could move forward, the office door was pushed open again, a gust of wind whistled past, and Lily could see two tall people. The slender figures rushed out one after the other.

Tapping.

Tapping.

With her head held high, she walked unstoppably towards the elevator. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Lily realized that Matthew’s back was passing by in front of her, and before she could react, she had already followed The figure moved forward together, drifting away, without any pause or hesitation.

“Ding!” The

elevator opened, and all eyes on the entire floor quietly came out of the work compartment, but found that the man was not nervous or flustered at all, and even showed a polite smile, and nodded lightly, as if he was on the way. apologize.

Many people ignored Matthew, who was standing beside him with a gloomy face, waved boldly, and greeted sneakily.

“Ding!” The

elevator closed, and Matthew’s stern and serious face gradually disappeared behind the elevator door, but the entire floor was silent, and those raised arms were put down again embarrassingly, only then did he realize what he had just done. Something stupid.

However, Lily found that her thinking speed couldn’t keep up at all, she couldn’t keep up at all, and she took many, many beats slower. She always felt as if she had missed something important and forgot something important, but her brain couldn’t work, it was just stiff. land.

What happened just now?
