"Are you sure that this design belongs to someone else? Because if I accepted the case and tried my best to defend it, but it turns out he's a thief! I would just as well bring down my pride, and belittle our firm's reputation. Are you sure?" Roderick asked the woman in front of him, while the one he was talking to just nodded silently.
"Bah... This means I have to deal further with my grandmother, she is very fussy and arranges, if she comes here, the contents of this building can be completely overhauled by her because it is considered not to represent ancestral traditions and noble grace." Roderick said shaking his head, he scratched his head that didn't itch and ruffled his hair, "then what should I do? If I refuse it, it will definitely make my grandmother come here, but if I still accept it, it's the same as destroying the good name of this company." Roderick said walking back and forth.
"Refuse it, let me deal with your grandmother!" Molly said casually, she leaned back in the guest chair and looked at Roderick who was anxiously thinking about how to get out of this complicated situation.
"Ah, you don't know my grandmother! She is not an easy person to manage, she might scream in surprise or faint when she hears you are my future wife, especially if she hears that you are a widow! Oh yes Molly, never You said if you were a magician or someone who could talk to spirits, my grandmother could die suddenly of heart disease." Roderick said and sat down across from Molly.
"Yes yes, I understand but somehow I have good feelings about your grandmother. I hope she can like me quickly."
"I'm warning you, my grandma likes to swear, likes to correct trivial things and say everything that's in her head, you suck. Don't be offended! I don't know if I have a bad feeling."
Roderick picked up the stuttering phone and dialed Robert.
"Robert. I don't want to deal with Mr. Miller's case, he sued another company to steal his designs but he also stole the designs from Trinidad designs."
"Really?! Then?" Answered Robert.
"Tell him to find a new lawyer," Roderick said firmly.
"Are you sure? Remember the threat? Bringing your grandma here?"
"I don't care! Instead of destroying our good name!"
Roderick hung up the phone and looked at Molly questioningly.
"What are you going to do now?"
"Nothing. I just want to come with you"
"You're not working?"
"I'm off for two weeks."
"Then what about Sofia? You didn't take care of her?" Roderick asked raising his eyebrows. Sometimes he could not guess and could never guess, how the thoughts of the woman in front of him.
"I left her with my neighbor, I pay her monthly to look after Sofia while I work."
"Oh yeah? So you trust someone else to take care of Sofia?" Roderick sneered at Molly. The woman in front of her had said she would protect Molly even if it cost her her life. Now she was casually leaving it under the watchful eye of someone else.
"Sofia has gotten really close to him, so it's okay! They're really nice to me anyway." Rodrick nodded.
"Then what are we going to do after this?" asked the blonde man who was still wearing his work uniform yesterday. He wanted to change clothes first.
"Hmmm..." Molly stared at him, she was thinking about what she wanted to do. "You can take me out for a walk or a movie or shopping or any of the normal things men do to their future wives!" Molly said expressionlessly.
Roderick stood up, he walked around, and grabbed Molly's hand. "Come on! We have our first date today, I'll buy new clothes and change first."
"Oh...Okay?" Molly stood up and accepted Roderick's invitation. They walked hand in hand out of the office. At Robert's desk which was directly in front of Roderick's room, they paused for a moment.
"Robert! I want to go out for a while " said Roderick. Robert couldn't take his eyes off his hands. Roderick who held Molly tightly. A year ago the woman who came with her boss was a client with a divorce problem, but why join hands with her boss.
"Oh...? Okay?" The answer was still focused on looking at the hand that was holding Molly.
"If anyone is looking for you, say I'm on a date with my future wife!" Roderick said again smiling mischievously. Robert immediately widened his eyes in surprise.
"Sir... Mmh... Sir! But Mrs. Mallory is in the process of getting a divorce, isn't she?"
"Yes, it is true."
"Then?"
"Mmh... It's okay. Have fun!" He said at last.
Roderick walked out of his office, several eyes followed when he saw his idol man passing by and holding a woman's hand with an eccentric appearance.
"All eyes see!" Molly said walking with a straight face.
"So?"
"Nothing. It's okay. This only proves that you do have a lot of female fans!"
"Of course! You just found out? You should be so grateful I walked in holding your hand. They... Those women elbowed each other just to say hello!"
"Ha.. ha. Yes... I seem to be lucky!"
###
Roderick and Molly hand in hand along the entrance to the Sunvalley shopping center in Concord California. They walked into a mall building in a California shopping district. Roderick wants to buy clothes to change, he also intends to buy Molly a cute dress. So that the wizard's impression is slightly eroded.
Molly is always seen wearing a blouse or a dark shirt with a pair of trousers. She always tied her hair up and never did makeup. When people saw Molly they would think there was a vampire wandering around in broad daylight. Roderick the handsome and well-dressed man walked hand in hand with a female vampire who did not understand fashion.
Roderick took Molly up the escalator to the third floor, there was a regular outlet for work clothes. Molly just stood there with a raised face, her eyes and gestures didn't show that she wasn't confident about her appearance. Instead, he kept his face straight, with eyes full of confidence, though many people whispered as they passed.
"You're not bothered by the whispers?" Roderick asked as they stood on the escalator to the third floor.
Molly shook her head, "I don't care! They don't know me, don't know what my life is like..."
"Right! You're right. But sometimes appearance is very important. It's not that I don't like how you look now, you can look more beautiful when you take care of yourself!"
Molly turned her head, her eyes looking like they wanted to protest to Roderick. "I know... I know." Roderick said finally raising his hands as a sign of surrender.
"But I still want to buy you an adorable dress, I want our date today to be special. This is our first date!"
"You want to dress me up?"
"A little... Hmm... I already have an idea what you'll be like."
"I don't mind. As long as you don't force me to wear a pink dress!" Molly said looking at Roderick deeply.
"You're reading my mind again! Huh... But you'd be pretty in that color! Well... Peach.. or Lime.. or some other pastel color." Roderick waited for Molly's approval.
His date day just shrugged her shoulders, "whatever!"
