"...and a piece of roast duck, thank you." Ronald sat at the table of Mr. Chow's Chinese restaurant again. After looking at the menu and ordering, he responded to Assistant Prosecutor Helen Gable's request.
On request, a roast duck was added.
Helen Gable sat on the seat opposite Ronald. She was still dressed professionally in a black jacket, white shirt, and pants. But this time she let her hair down, and it could be seen that she put on makeup carefully before going to the appointment.
"Did you know? At the beginning of the month, the former Beatles lead singer, John Lennon, was shot dead by one of his crazy fans shortly after he walked out of this restaurant," Helen said.
.
"Uh..." Ronald really didn't know. He was working hard on writing the script at that time, or he heard the news on the news, and didn't read the detailed reports carefully afterwards.
"It seems like Calvin Klein's friend David Geffen just signed Lennon's contract not long ago?" Ronald thought of business operations inexplicably, and quickly lowered his head and took a sip of water to drive this thought out of his head.
, today he is here to ask the beautiful prosecutor to help with little Bud’s case.
"Are these things boring to you? I don't pay much attention to entertainment industry news." Helen Gable misunderstood what Ronald meant by drinking water.
"No, no, I'm worried that you will feel bad if I dine in the same restaurant with you twice." Ronald denied quickly, "I originally wanted to change a restaurant, but Miss Gable, you said on the phone that you still like it here.
, I didn’t expect you also like Chinese food.”
"Actually, where you eat is less important than who you eat with." Helen Gable said seductively in a slightly hoarse magnetic voice, sticking out her tongue and licking her lips.
Then he raised his slender champagne glass and clinked glasses with Ronald.
A red lipstick was printed on the edge of the cup. Helen smiled, took a napkin and gently pressed it on her lips to remove the excess lipstick.
Two lawyers, Lindsay Dole and Eugene, came up with very effective solutions for little Bud. Mrs. Davis and Aunt Karen invited little Bud's high school principal to discuss together, and finally agreed with the two lawyers.
proposal.
However, in this method, little Bud's case must be sent to some judge's court that is willing to carry out this kind of operation. This matter can only be handled most conveniently by the lawyer's roommate and best friend, Helen Gable.
The district attorney is an elected position, but the assistant prosecutor is a professional position. In fact, like lawyers practicing in law firms, they also need a lawyer's license. Helen Gable is Lindsay's classmate and a top law student, but she
My father had an old relationship with the current district attorney and chose a different route than Lindsay.
Helen Gable agreed to cooperate, but made a request to go on another date with Ronald and cash the last rainy day check.
Americans like to watch baseball. In the early days of open-air stadiums without roofs, when it rained, the stadium would give the audience something called a rain check. The next time the weather improved, the game would be replayed.
You can enter the market again with a check, no need to buy new tickets.
The last time I asked Helen Gable to help Michelle Pfeiffer issue a temporary restraining order against two vegetarian swindlers, Helen was busy in advance and left a rain check. This time she
If Nader asked her for help again, it would be like owing two favors.
"I appreciate your help, Miss Gable..."
"Nonono, I'm here for an appointment today with a handsome guy. I don't want to hear Miss Gable's professional title, nor do I want to hear anything about work." Helen Gable raised her index finger and said to Ronald
Shake it.
"Okay. Don't move, Helen." Ronald picked up the napkin with one hand and gently wiped it carefully on the beautiful prosecutor's lips, helping her wipe away the traces of lipstick that remained on her lips because there was no mirror.
Helen Gable enjoyed this kind of gentle treatment. She tilted her head in response, and her short hair fell from her ears and spread to the front.
Ronald raised his other hand, pushed the dark hair behind Helen's ear again, and then stared at the other person's eyes intently. For a moment, the relationship between the two was filled with deep affection.
Ronald didn't know whether it was his own initiative that caused the other party's misunderstanding, or whether Helen Gable had already fallen in love with him. The two of them were flirting with each other, and this feeling made Ronald very comfortable, as if this was not an exchange.
.
An idea came to my mind, if it was really with this beautiful prosecutor... it seemed like a good idea.
"Slice-skin roast duck, one serving." The waiter's voice interrupting the mutual admiration between the two.
"Giggle...", the beautiful prosecutor couldn't stop laughing. This handsome young man was very in line with her taste and he knew his taste.
"Go to my place? Or should I take you back?" It took a long time to finish dinner. Ronald asked Helen Gable at the door of the restaurant when he took out the keys and a banknote and gave them to the doorman to pick up the car.
"I have a big bathtub there..." the beautiful prosecutor held her arm with Ronald and said beside him.
"Hiss..." Ronald's scalp tightened, and as Helen Gable spoke, the hot air blew into his ears, and an electric current passed through his whole body.
The two returned to Helen's apartment, and the beauty closed the door with her foot. Ronald took advantage of the situation and hugged her, changing the angle of her nose, and kissed her gently.
"Well, you are really... a good... kissing opponent. Lindsay is at home, go to my room..." The heat of Helen's words rushed to Ronald's face, making him emotionally high. He squatted deeply and
The beautiful prosecutor picked her up and walked to the bedroom.
"Over there, over there..." Helen Gable pointed to her bedroom door. Ronald went in the wrong direction at first.
With a bang, Helen closed her bedroom door forcefully and turned on the TV to cover up. After a while, the replay of the fourth season of the CBS TV series The Family (S) began. The important character Jr. Ewing was shot at the end of the previous season.
The first episode of the new season finally reveals that the murderer is his sister.
After the characters in the play learned the truth, a low or high exclamation came out through the door.
"It's starting again..." In the other bedroom, lawyer Lindsay Dole, who was still sorting out information, picked up two cotton balls and plugged his ears, one on the left and one on the right, to block the sound that was about to penetrate his ears.
.
After a long time, Helen was lying in Ronald's arms in the large bathtub in the bathroom of the apartment, "Oh, Ronnie, Ronnie, I'm a little reluctant to let you go today."
The sound of "Wow..." was the sound of Ronald stirring the hot water and reaching for the towel. Seeing Helen say this, Ronald was a little stunned when he picked up the dry towel, but he still helped Helen wipe it gently.
Start your hair.
"I thought you felt the same way I did..."
"How do you feel?" Helen turned around and chuckled, "I am an independent urban woman. My goal is to become a female prosecutor in New York. I have no time to waste on romance."
Seeing that Ronald was silent, Helen Gable looked at Ronald and was surprised that he was not more happy to be irresponsible and a little sentimental, so she told him some truth.
Assistant prosecutor is a profession that requires all your time to be promoted in the competition. Especially for beautiful women, they have to withstand all kinds of gossip and must do more impeccably.
In this way, Helen Gable had no time to develop a normal relationship.
A relationship requires both parties to invest time and energy to maintain it. During Helen Gable's working hours, no man can tolerate such a girlfriend. The importance of her boyfriend is always ranked below work, and she has to leave her boyfriend anytime and anywhere.
, go to work.
"All I need is male attraction, you understand? Ronald."
"I understand, Helen. It's just that I might be looking forward to a real relationship between a man and a woman, rather than a simple relationship."
"Giggle...you are so cute, Ronald." Helen put on a cotton bathrobe, "How can professional men and women in big cities have such luxury time?"
"That's right. With the nature of my job, I write scripts, work with the crew, and do editing. I'm often busy and don't see people for months. How can I find that kind of stable love relationship?" Ronald thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Reading the autobiography of Ingrid Bergman, you can see that even for a beauty like her, her three marriages all ended in divorce. It is indeed not easy for men and women in the film and television industry to find long-term and stable partners, especially if you are interested in the appearance of your partner.
If you still have some expectations about your personality.
Helen Gable looked through the big bathroom mirror at Ronald who was standing behind her, wiping her hair. She stretched her hands back to hold his head and commanded, "Kiss me."
"Yes, Mr. Prosecutor."
"Lindsay will help you with the rest. I am also contributing to the American Federation." After a long time, Helen lay on the bed in the bedroom, pulled up the quilt, and said to Ronald who was arranging clothes beside him.
"I'm leaving..." Ronald kissed the sleepy Helen Gable gently and walked out of the room.
"Ronald, you've just finished it. We can talk about little Bud's trial arrangements."
"Um, Lindsay..." Ronald just happened to see the lawyer lady going out. Ronald said hello awkwardly and said while walking towards the door, "I will discuss it with you and lawyer Eugene tomorrow."
I am not used to being able to change my identity at any time like these professional women.
…
"Bud Davis Jr. manufactured, stored, wholesaled and sold pirated tapes with huge value. The prosecutors charged him with three counts of piracy, illegal organization and sales of unlicensed goods, and infringement." A few days later, Helen Gable
Standing in front of the examining magistrate, Bud Jr. was read the crime for which he was charged by the District Attorney's Office.
"Defense lawyer? Did the defendant plead guilty?" The file was specially sent to Judge Jefferson's court by the clerk, who is a veteran conservative white judge."
The black lawyer Eugene uttered two words: "please plead guilty."
The old judge lowered his head, looked past his reading glasses, and looked directly at little Bud standing in the dock.
"Defendant Bud Davis Jr., do you understand that the crime you are charged with constitutes a felony? You will be subject to a maximum sentence of five years in prison, as well as confiscation of illegal gains and a fine?"
"Yes, your honor." Little Bud looked directly at the judge, his expression full of regret.
"Do you plead guilty to the above charges?"
"Plea guilty, your honor."
"Very good, it saves trial time. This court announces that the defendant pleads guilty and is found guilty. Has the prosecution and defense reached a plea agreement?"
Both parties shook their heads and waited for the judge to pronounce the sentence.
"In view of the need of the American federal government to maintain peace in the country and its allies, the defendant has no criminal record, has a good repentance attitude, and has turned over his illegal gains. I pronounce the sentence and send the defendant to the federal Marine Corps to serve overseas for 4 years, in addition to
4 years of reserve service after active duty.
The defendant does not need to serve a sentence while serving. If the defendant behaves well, observes disciplines, and successfully retires during the military service, the felony record can be revoked when he is discharged from service, and he can enjoy normal schooling, medical and other normal benefits for veterans...
Finally, I would like to appeal again. Today’s national security needs more American soldiers to protect it. I hope more young people will join the army to serve the federal and people’s welfare. God bless America! God bless the soldiers, Amen.
"
"Now the defendant can go off with the Marine Corps Recruiting Office."
"Huh..." Ronald, who was listening in the audience, let out a sigh of relief. Lawyer Lindsay Dole next to him said to him, "Eugene is very good at this. Now that the federal government has abolished the military conscription system, the source of soldiers has been introduced year after year. Jefferson
The judge is a well-known conservative patriot, and he will send criminals like Little Bud who have not committed serious crimes and are in good physical condition to serve in prison."
"Don't worry, the people in the recruitment office have already made accommodations. Little Bud will be sent to Hawaii or stationed at a base in Japan. After four years, not only will his felony record be revoked, but he will also be able to study for himself in the military and get a junior college diploma.
.”
The two walked down the steps of the courthouse. In front of them, Mrs. Davis was saying goodbye to little Bud. Next to her was the sergeant from the recruiting office who was waiting to receive her.
"The thing about his age and high school diploma?"
"He is only a few months away from turning 17. His father was a soldier who died in the Marine Corps. The people in the recruitment office are very easy to talk to. The principal of the public high school is also very cooperative. It is not easy for a student to get out of Harlem."
Ronald nodded. Serving as a soldier is a way out for black people, but it is generally not easy for black people with no background to serve in the army. Many black people will even deliberately commit a minor felony in order to enlist in the army, and then the principal of their high school will
He was given bail, sentenced by the judge, and sent to the army.
Little Bud's father was a Marine, and with lawyer Eugene's coordination, the matter went smoothly this time. It seemed that I would have to pay him a generous legal fee.
"Thank you, Ronald." Little Bud was signaled by Mrs. Davis to come over and thank Ronald.
"Serve well in the Marine Corps and don't let your mother down."
"I will. Please help me take care of my mother. I will repay you after I retire from the army, Ronald." Little Bud's experience during this period made him a little more mature. After hugging Ronald, he and the conscripts
The sergeant in the office left together.
Mrs. Davis hugged Aunt Karen and cried, "This is how I sent Bud away..."
"Don't be afraid. Ronald has made arrangements this time. He will not serve in a dangerous place. It is equivalent to going to community college..." Aunt Karen gently patted Mrs. Davis on the shoulder to comfort her.
