Mrs. Liu looked at Leslie Green with eager eyes. “You must be Leslie, right? You're even prettier in person. I was hoping you could take a look at my mother-in-law. Her legs have been numb for years—she’s been bedridden. Do you think there’s anything you can do?”
Leslie nodded. “I’m free tomorrow afternoon.”
“Great, I’ll send a driver to your place to pick you up.”
Mrs. Liu still wanted to chat, but another woman hurried over. “Miss Green! My son’s come down with something strange. We’ve searched everywhere, even went to the hospital multiple times, and still no answers. Could you please check on him? We can talk fees later, just help him.”
Leslie nodded again, slightly amused. This one at least knew how to talk—calling her Miss Green. That earned points.
