Judge, You’re Being Sued

On my very first day, hired through connections, I caught the eye of the aloof partner.

He warned me, “The firm doesn’t encourage office romances.”

I lowered my head and replied, “There’s nothing between us. That’s all.”

Then quarantine hit, and we were forced to share a room.

He slept on the floor; I couldn’t sleep. I got flustered; he blow-dried my hair. He taught me about cases, but I kept getting distracted by his Adam’s apple.

He caught my wrist. “Shen Qingqiu, focus. Next time, look me in the eyes.”

My heart raced. I thought it was all just an accident.

Then, on the night before lockdown ended, he leaned close in the darkness and murmured in my ear, his voice low, “Good night, Qingqiu.”

Later, the past of my boyfriend’s mother, a judge, suddenly came to light. He and I stood together and sent her whole family to prison.

Everyone thought I’d lost my protector.

But in front of everyone, he pushed my signed report toward the client. “Her ability is the greatest backing she could have.”

And when the judge who had once warned me to stay away from her son saw him standing beside me in court, her face finally turned deathly pale.
