Heart Hunting

Chapter 103

Standing at the gate, Arno looks calm and gentle in a warm blue suit, bathed in sunlight, and warm and

attractive with a big smile, as comfy as the spring breeze.

Alas. It’s him!

"Mrs. Murphy, good morning!” Arno moves forward and greets her first.

Mrs. Murphy senses insecurity—the man is much better than her son in any aspect!

"Morning!” She responds casually. Seeing that he takes the luggage and opens the car door for Poppy,

she wonders whether Kenny knows Poppy is leaving today.

"Mrs. Murphy, see you!” Poppy says to her before getting in the car.

"Take care!” Mrs. Murphy is absent-minded, watching the car drive away slowly.

Her face creases. Crap! It’s indeed a strong opponent. How stupid her son is! He’s still sleeping when

his wife-to-be is stolen by another man. Therefore, she goes back to the house immediately and finds

her son upstairs.

She pushes the door and walks in directly, shouting, "Kenny, Poppy has been taken away. Why are you

still asleep? You need to have a sense of crisis. Obviously, that man is a fierce enemy, handsome and

gentle, much better than you.”

Her voice is like an alarm clock and wakes Kenny up at once. But he was in a fast sleep just now, not

hearing her words clearly. He turns over and gets into the cover. "Mom, can you leave me alone? I

worked overtime last night and stayed up late…”

"You don’t want your future wife, do you?” Mrs. Murphy is disappointed and throws the quilt away.

"What wife? What happens to my little minx?” He reacts until now.

She glares at him with arms akimbo. "Poppy has been taken away by a man, the boss of the law firm.

He obviously has a crush on Poppy!”

On the other side, Arno takes the initiative to say, "A few days ago, Jean couldn’t find you and made a

fuss in the office. But Greg handled it well.”

"Unexpectedly, he’s brilliant, able to handle nasty women like Jean.” Poppy hasn’t expected that the

man, who looks lazy, can hold Jean.

"Everything has its vanquisher. Although she has found another lawyer to handle that case, you should

keep alert.” Arno reminds her discreetly.

"Why?” Poppy asks and looks at him.

He looks serious and replies in a calm tone, "The Greens is bumpy recently. The recent crisis is

actually related to you.”

Poppy has sharp eyes and sneers but looks calm. "It doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s almost time to pull out

the net. They’ll know I’m back sooner or later.”

Listening to her, Arno can’t help but glance at her, and his worries remain unabated.

In the parking lot of the MD building, Poppy gets out of the car and pulls her luggage toward her car.

Claire has already been waiting for her. Seeing Poppy show up, she moves forward immediately.

"Lawyer Poppy, good morning!”

Poppy nods and says, when she sees Arno following, "I won’t go upstairs. Claire and I go to the Navi

Company directly.”

"Why in a rush?”

"Well, I have a new discovery and I need to know more about the case and the plaintiff.”

"Alright, take care.” Until after seeing them off, Arno steps toward the elevator.

Poppy takes her assistant to the Navi Company and receives a lot of attention on her way. Indifferent

as she is, Poppy never cares about others’ stares.

Many employees in the company don’t know who she is, wondering when a beauty joins the company.

After she passes the logistics, several people can’t help but gossip. "Check out that lady. She’s

gorgeous.”

"Is she from the PR department?”

"I don’t think so. She doesn’t have a working card.”

"Is she the external lawyer? I hear that our company invites a lawyer to solve the yacht case recently.”

"Probably it’s her? Is she so capable?”

All employees are curious about her presence.

They are also surprised that Noel showed up early in the morning, in addition to her appearance. Is the

sun coming out from the west? How did their Mr. Gilbert arrive at the company so early?

Noel remains calm, after receiving their gazes, and awaits the arrival of Poppy. When he hears that

she’s arrived, Noel, who has been waiting for a long time in the office, carries a hot breakfast and walks

to her office.

As soon as she sits down, he arrives, thus she stands up and introduces to him, "This is my assistant,

Claire.”

"Hi, beauty, if you haven’t had breakfast, you can go to the staff cafeteria. I don’t take yours. Sorry.” He

shows the meal box in his hand.

"I have already eaten. Thank you, Mr. Gilbert. I’m going to print some information for lawyer Poppy

first.”

After her departure, Noel approaches her. "I have prepared a nutritious breakfast for you, which can

build up your body and raise IQ.”

She looks at the breakfast. There is a bowl of nutritious porridge, several fried patties and an egg

custard. It’s so "nutritious”.

Taking the spoon he hands over, Poppy satirizes partially. "Unexpectedly, Mr. Gilbert is still in the mood Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

to prepare breakfast at this tense time.”

"No matter how hard you work, you can’t sacrifice your body. Besides, this is a treatment for a beauty,

especially for my goddess.”

"If you don’t want me to be worn out, investigate a person for me.” Eating the breakfast, she doesn’t

forget to give him a task.

"Who?” Noel is so energetic, eager to serve his goddess.

"Aly Ward, the daughter of the plaintiff.” She needs his help since little information can be found online.

"Why do you investigate Scout’s daughter?” Noel is confused.

"It must be useful if I let you do it. I only give you 48 hours. The more detailed, the better.” Poppy

doesn’t want to explain to him, thus giving him a deadline directly.

Noel doesn’t dare to delay and leaves immediately to investigate, mobilizing his networking.

Watching Noel leave in a hurry, Poppy smiles with satisfaction. That guy does have time for serious

jobs.

Melissa is also worried that the lawsuit will affect the company’s reputation, thus going to the company

early in the morning. When she passes the office, she’s shocked to see her son’s busy figure.

Her assistant sees it and explains, "Mrs. Gilbert, Noel came to the company in the early morning and

had been busy for the lawsuit. It’s the first time that I have seen he’s so into one thing.”

"Does the world change?” Her son used to sleep at home at this point.

The assistant gives a light smile. "Mrs. Gilbert, although Noel is negligent, he can be serious if

needed.”

Melissa nods with satisfaction. If he could be so serious earlier, her husband will be relieved.

"But, it’s strange.” The assistant is sort of puzzled. "Noel cares less about the company usually. Why

does he change so…”

Her words draw Melissa’s attention. She thinks for a moment and knows the answer. The mother

knows her son well. A glimmer of amusement shows in her eyes. "Does lawyer Poppy come?”

"Yes, she came early in the morning.”

Obviously, her son falls in love with that female lawyer. But is she really capable?

Let’s wait and see. If they win the lawsuit, she will consider letting them have a relationship!

Melissa has made up her mind and looks delighted. "Let’s go!”
