"Miss Hart is wearing less and less."
"It's all just to make it easier for Lawyer Locke,"
Andrew Locke didn't comment, just scoffed. Nora really knows how to say the darnedest things.
He glanced at the food box in front of her as he passed by her.
"Love-filled breakfast."
Andrew Locke wasn't impressed: "Is the breakfast for reporters downstairs filled with love too?"
"The morning magpies, don't you think their chirping is beautiful, Mr. Locke? In the entertainment industry, only the big shots get reporters camping out from dawn!"
Nora dragged her chin, looking leisurely at Andrew.
Andrew shot her a look, took off his suit jacket, and rolled up his sleeves as he walked to his desk.
Nora smartly changed the topic: "Why not take off that tie?"
Andrew: ....
"You have this kind of abstinent beastly vibe when you're not wearing a tie."
"A beast in gentleman's clothing is abstinent? Did Miss Hart escape from nine years of mandatory education?"
Nora had her struggles in school earlier, often causing Sir Hart headaches due to her poor grades, which nearly led to her expulsion multiple times. Those were the times Sir Hart often had to use the magic of money to settle things.
From elementary, junior high, to high school and university, Sir Hart donated quite a few buildings.
He even nicknamed her 'Fourth Miss'; four stages, a building for each stage. Indeed, a master of building from the ground up.
This became widely known in Capital Port.
Andrew's words hit her hard,
Nora sat across him, fiddling with Lawyer Locke's pen, her demeanor somewhat nonchalant and reckless.
"I've had no feedback from the water truck driver incident from Lawyer Locke yet!"
Andrew coolly replied, "Miss Hart, you got the wrong person. I'm not your lawyer."
"Oh, then whose lawyer is Lawyer Locke?"
"Jordan's?"
Andrew glanced at her: "You guarding me so closely, are you scared I'll take Jordan's case?"
Nora blinked at him, "Apart from me, no one from the Hart Family can hire you."
"What if they do hire you?"
"Oh, then bring it on!"
Nora was anything but merciful.
"Did Lawyer Locke have a girlfriend before?"
"What does that have to do with Miss Hart?"
"Just curious!"
Andrew: ... "Is Miss Hart unemployed?"
"Annoyed by me? Then I'll go hang out with Lucas Holmes and the others," Nora said, making a move to get up.
But Andrew stopped her: "This is not your entertainment circle, if you're really that free, go home and sleep."
"You scolding me?" Nora looked at Andrew, puzzled for a long while.
"Mr. Locke, Chairman Forrest has arrived," the secretary entered, noticing the tense atmosphere only after speaking.
The door to the office opened, and Andrew threw a blanket at Nora, "Cover up with this when you go out, I have interns in the office, mind the influence."
It was early morning, and those glaring cleavages were giving him a headache.
Nora knew exactly where men's weaknesses lay.
Seeing Andrew about to leave, Nora with a smirk blocked his path: "Lawyer Locke bursting into flames early in the morning, is it because you can only look and not eat?"
"If you want to eat, I'm not exactly unaccommodating!"
Assistant: ..... Completely dumbfounded.
Miss Hart is really bold, isn't she? Going all-in?
Andrew Locke is famously ruthless in legal circles, countless bigshots tried to win him over with women, and he never batted an eye, just had them dressed and sent back.
But today, Nora's gentle, boneless touch seemed to ignite a fire.
"Nora," Andrew grabbed her wrist, his voice trembling slightly, "Do you realize I can cut off your claws now and still keep the compensation in the four figures?"
"Oh~" Nora didn't seem to care.
Looking up at Andrew, her face alluring: "Before Lawyer Locke does that, can I touch you all over after you undress?"
The assistant standing at the door: .......
So shameless!
Is he liking this somehow?
Suddenly I understand what Lucas Holmes said, Nora, this bewitching little vixen, throwing herself at Lawyer Locke who only wants to earn capitalists' money — it's a waste.
Such a waste!!!!
With other men, wouldn't she be worshipped?
Andrew's face darkened, he dropped the documents in his hand, and moved Nora's hand behind her.
He gritted his teeth in warning, "Nora, don't go too far."
Nora tilted her head and smiled, her twinkling eyes more dazzling than her cleavages, held by both hands, she tiptoed and kissed Andrew's lips.
"Never would have guessed, Lawyer Locke likes it rough."
Assistant: .... Damn! ... Got to pay to watch more.
Andrew Locke could do nothing about Nora, his inability to grasp her persistent spirit perplexed him to this day.
Decades passed without change.
Nora left in high spirits watching Andrew flee in shock.
Had raised a proper little wolf, circling him, grinding him down little by little.
This feeling, truly too joyful.
Nora disdainfully tossed the blanket off her shoulders, picked up her bag, and went downstairs.
....
"Sis, what did you just do? Your lipstick is all smudged."
Matthew noticed her smeared lipstick as soon as he saw her.
Nora pulled out a mirror to touch up her makeup: "Just did something not suitable for children."
"Did you pounce on Lawyer Locke again?"
"Sis, are you looking for someone to sue, or are you into him?"
Nora closed her mirror: "Matthew, for now Lawyer Locke is my safety amulet; before I get my hands on the property, I can't lose him."
"With so many people from the Hart Family focusing on me, if I don't secure a powerful lawyer by my side, what do you think they'll do? Twelve illegitimate children, only two dimwitted have come out so far, the really cunning ones are yet to show."
"Always so clever, sis," but Lawyer Locke is truly pitiful.
"Matthew, what if after this is over, I break Lawyer Locke's legs and keep him by my side?"
Matthew's steering shook, he glanced at Nora through the rear mirror: "Rule of law society, sis."
"Pity, isn't it."
Nora rested her chin on her hands daydreaming: "People like Lawyer Locke, don't be fooled by his appearance, beneath the clothes he is definitely a beast in gentleman's clothing."
Matthew: ..... What kind of outrageous statement is that?
"Matthew, did you know tall men with high noses are very strong?"
Matthew: ..... Not suitable for children, not suitable for children.
.... Evening .....
Nora changed into low-key attire and headed to a bar street.
Her place was just about ten minutes' walk away.
Just as she passed an alley, she heard the moans of women and frequent shouts of "Director Hart."
Nora's first thought was her dad messing around again.
Looking towards the alley.
Damn!!!
