Austin clenched his fists and looked at Yam with a flushed face. He was furious. What he cared most
about was Hester, and she was the last person he had the heart to disobey.
He had to admit that his weakness was easy to be used by someone.
"Yam!"
"Are you angry from embarrassment?"
With a sneer, Yam looked at Austin's red eyes and said slowly. She was arrogant with a hint of
provocation in her eyes.
Once she caught this pain, she would take the initiative. This feeling made her very happy.
"Austin, you have been with Hester for so long. You should know her well. I have spent so much time
on her, so she naturally sensed and tried to accept me.
At this critical moment, you may succeed in interfering, but things will be the opposite. You are afraid of
being rejected by Hester, which will make all your efforts in the past few years in vain."
Looking at Austin's gloomy face, Yam felt complicated. Now Austin was very similar to herself, who
loved a person humbly.
However, she had lost her way in pursuing love and stepped into destruction step by step.
"Shut up!"
Austin shouted in a hoarse voice. He looked at Yam with bloodshot eyes and tightened his hands. The
real thoughts deep in his heart were ruthlessly exposed, and he was embarrassed.
"Congratulations!"
Yam said, looking at Austin with a faint smile. Her body leaned forward slightly and closed the distance
between the two people, so close that they could feel the hot air he breathed out.
"Believe it or not, I don't mean to hurt anyone. In the night club, I learned to act. I used my own
conditions to find a way out, so that I could barely live like a person.
I know what it feels like in the dust, but all of this is my fate. I can't get rid of it, so I can only climb hard!
It's getting late. I have to send food to Hester. I guess you don't want to see her forget to eat because
of work, do you?"
After thinking for a while, Austin didn't continue to argue with her. He was tired of what he said. Yam
must be tired of it too!
She narrowed her eyes and looked at her fingers. The white ointment was still there, mocking her
cowardice.
Yam came out of the cafe and gulped the fresh air. Just now, she argued with Austin, feeling extremely
depressed, but the distress that she could not vent made her very worried.
She took out the bento from her bag without doing anything else for a long time. Finally, she sighed and
threw it into the trash can.
Hester was still wholeheartedly working. The documents piled up on the table, completely covering her
petite body.
The clock on the table went round and round, but she didn't notice that it was already lunch time.
"Rat-a-tat!"
Hearing the knock, Hester smiled, revealing a trace of good mood.
"Come in!"
"Miss April, it's time for lunch. I'll order something to eat later. What do you want to eat?"
Jessie opened the door and asked softly, glancing at the piles of documents on Hester's desk.
Hester raised her eyebrows and glanced at the time. She glanced at the door as if she was waiting for
someone.
"Miss Yam didn't come today!"
Seeing through Hester's mind, Jessie spoke first. Miss Yam sends lunch here on time every day, but I
don't know why she didn't come today.
"Just order some take out. I have some documents to read. You can go ahead with your work."
"Okay!"
Hester said with a smile, withdrawing the disappointment in her eyes. Her fingertips gently stroked the
edge of the paper, thinking about the reason why Yam couldn't come over.
Was it because Hester hadn't given her a good face for so long? And she was spoiled. Even though the
situation was not as good as before, the pride in her heart still existed. So was she tired of it?
Hester sat in a chair, and the document in her hand had not turned a page for a long time. Her mind
was in a mess, but she couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
Yam had also said that she would never give up! Given her previous persistence in Terence, she would
not easily give up. Was there a car accident on the way here?
The more Hester guessed, the more restless she was. As long as she thought that something might
have happened to Yam, she became more worried. She took out her phone and dialed Yam's number
without hesitation.
She didn't save Yam's phone number, but she had already memorized it in her heart.
"Hey! Hester, what's up?"
Hester was suddenly awakened by Yam's surprised and worried voice on the other end of the phone.
She felt that her call was too light.
She was thinking about how to say that.
"No! I just left the client's information at home. I want to ask if you have time to go and get it for me!"
"Information?"
Yam raised her eyebrows and wondered. Hester was not a careless person. How could she make such
a ridiculous mistake?
"Are you in a hurry to use it now?"
"Yes!"
Hester replied faintly, wandering around with a guilty conscience, secretly regretting her impulsive
behavior.
"Well, don't worry. I'll check it right away. But I don't have the key to your house. Is Austin at home?"
Yam stood up in a hurry, put on her clothes and was about to go out while packing up.
"Well..."
Biting her fingers, Hester's eyes were rolling. 'How can Brother Austin be at home at this time? What a
stupid excuse!'
"Brother Austin has an operation today. He is not at home! Look at me, I'm so anxious and confused
that I even called you. Never mind. I'd better go back by myself. I don't need to bother you."
A trace of disappointment flashed through Yam's eyes. She sat at the door dejectedly, with only one
shoe on her feet and the other hand still holding her hand.
"No! You've just set up a law office. How can you waste time to come back? How about you find
someone to bring the key here? I'll wait at the gate of the community and take her to your house to get
it."
Hearing Yam's words, Hester was finally relieved. Although her excuse was a little lame and not
presentable, Yam did not feel troublesome in the end. It was also a good excuse, wasn't it?
"Okay, I'll ask Jessie to come over later!"
