chapter 9 Expensive gift, compensation for her

Michael finally showed some grace He stretched out his hands to pull up her skirt and wanted to button it for her.
"I'll do it myself." Eloise's voice trembled.
Her hands grabbed the button the size of a grain of rice, but it was too slippery and she couldn't fasten it. In the end, it was Michael who buttoned it for her.
He apologized again.
In order to compensate her, he himself called lawyer Isaac Jiang and explained to him the situation of Eloise Wen's father.
Isaac Jiang admired Michael as a junior. He immediately agreed when Michael asked and made an appointment to meet Eloise.
Michael said a few more words and hung up the phone.
He sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette. He said to Eloise, "In addition to litigating for you, you can make any other requests."
Eloise knew that this should be the last time they met.
In the past, Michael might have occasionally cared about her body, but it was different now. He should have made up his mind to draw a clear line with her.
Eloise was a sensible person.
She pretended to be relaxed, "It's just love between a man and a woman, I have nothing to lose! I also have to thank Lawyer Huo for your help..."
Eloise's nose felt a little sore at the end, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She and Michael were not even friends, so there was no point in being pretentious in front of him.
She said goodbye to him and said she would take a taxi back.
Michael didn't say anything. He was still sitting there smoking, with his eyes dim and unclear.
Eloise left.
She didn't go home immediately because she didn't want to face Aunt Nguyen's disappointed eyes so soon.
As night fell, Eloise walked alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the city center square lit up with colorful lights, and young couples were hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel.
Eloise stopped.
She watched quietly, the night wind blowing, and the corners of her eyes were moist.
A golden Continental drove past Eloise, and Michael saw Eloise.
She stood under the Ferris wheel and looked up at the stars, with lingering nostalgia in her eyes... Michael would not narcissistically think that she was missing him!
He knew exactly who she was thinking about.
Michael stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley Continental sped away.
…
The next day, Eloise went to work in the music room. This music room held the most high-end music training in city B. Her colleagues knew that something happened at her home, so they couldn't help but give her a few words of comfort.
Eloise didn't want to affect others, so she smiled and said it was okay.
At ten o'clock, something was delivered by the Quancheng express staffs, who said it was from a lawyer Huo.
Eloise opened the outer packaging.
Inside the exquisite velvet box lied a diamond necklace.
Dazzling and precious.
A colleague quietly told Eloise, "The value of this brand of necklace with such carats of diamond should be no less than one million."
Eloise didn't want it.
But there was no contact information for Michael on the courier list, and she understood that he didn't want to see her again.
After work, Eloise went to the "Yingjie" office. She placed the velvet box at the front desk and asked the receptionist to pass it to Lawyer Huo.
Although the receptionist was confused, she agreed.
Just when Eloise was about to leave, Michael walked out side by side with a young girl whom Eloise had seen in a magazine.
Wren Huo, the darling of the Huo family, was also Michael's only biological sister.
Wren Huo returned from studying abroad half a year ago and fell in love with Liam Gu immediately.
At this time, Wren held her brother's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother, I have asked you several times, why don't you meet Liam!"
Michael dismissed his sister nonchalantly.
Wren pretended to be angry and quarreled with him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the brother and sister had a good relationship.
Eloise watched quietly.
She didn't hate Wren. She just laughed at herself——
For such a deep love between the brother and sister, why did she think that Michael could litigate for her?
Eloise left quietly.
Michael saw her. He dismissed Wren with a few words and walked to the front desk.
The lady at the front desk immediately handed him the jewelry box, "Lawyer Huo, it was left by the lady who just now left."
Michael took it and nodded respectfully.
When he returned to the office, he threw the box into the drawer. For a long time, he almost forgot about Eloise. He only thought of such a person indifferently when his body needed relief.
The waist was very thin, and the legs were straight and long...
