Heart Hunting

Chapter 14

The sun shines brightly, and the sunshine in early summer brings some sweet flavor.

The OZ golf course is located in the suburb of the southern part of the city. It is situated near to hills

and beside rivers. And a place like this dedicated to the entertainment of noble families, would never

lack of luxury.

Poppy is in a pure white sports suit. She is curvaceous, which is undoubtedly a landscape in the lawn.

After adjusting the cap, Poppy sees the "intimate" touch between Jean and the golf coach from afar.

She frowns discontentedly. What Jean's doing is not fit to the agreement they have come to.

Jean is standing in front of the ball hole, leaning against the tall golf coach. They seem to be

communicating with each other to practice their golf skills. In fact, no matter their posture or behavior,

they are very ambiguous.

Poppy is not shy away from them. She strides over and coughs loud twice, in case that Jean can not

hear her voice.

Jean sees Poppy, and restrains a lot. She leans on the coach's shoulder and says something to his ear.

Then she goes to the rest area with her golf club and sits down with Poppy. She asks politely, "lawyer

Poppy, there's nothing in your hands. Don't you say you have a gift for me?"

Poppy asks her back, "Where are the documents I asked you to prepare?"

Jean slowly takes the documents out of her bag. "All here. You can have a look."

Poppy takes them over and puts in the briefcase without looking.

Her indifference makes Jean a little anxious. "Lawyer Poppy, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Jean asks.

Last night, Poppy called her and said mysteriously that she had prepared a gift for her. And even

though Jean asked Poppy for so many times, Poppy didn't tell her what the gift really is.

Poppy smiles and replies, "be patient, it will come in a moment. You know, the good play will always

come last."

Jean leans back in her chair and slowly picks up the juice to drink.

Poppy looks at the coach not far away and says, "Miss Barnes, please remember what I told you. Don't

go too far at this juncture. It's not easy to win the lawsuit if the other side has your hold."

Jean gives it no importance, she says, "lawyer Poppy, I've always remembered your words." That little

ambiguity just now doesn't even count as a warm-up. She was very restrained.

Poppy doesn't think so. She says, 'if you were photographed in that pose just now, the opposing

counsel would not let go of your misbehavior, and make the presiding judge question your character

and integrity."

Jean is a little surprised that Poppy would be so direct. She sits upright, and smiles to cover up the

embarrassment, and says, "I see, lawyer Poppy."

Poppy's calm eyes have a bit of waves. From afar, she sees a man walks towards them against the

light. The sun shines at his figure, making his smile more charming.

Black baseball cap, pure white polo shirt and beige slacks make the man look mature but vivid. The

handsome face alone is enough to attract people's attention. The man is accompanied by another,

probably his assistant.

"Miss Barnes, here comes your gift," Poppy says with a smile.

Jean follows her eyes, and then smiles immediately and becomes polite, "lawyer Poppy, you're really

capable!"

"I'm just making good use of the opportunity. As for whether you can grasp it, it's up to you." When

Kenny comes up to them, Poppy shuts up in time.

Kenny walks up to Poppy without even looking at Jean. He greet to Poppy, "lawyer Poppy, what a

coincidence!"

Aaron, next to Kenny, stares at Poppy in surprise, he is sure the woman in front of him is exactly

poppy! But when did she come back from abroad? He has been investigating her for the past two days,

and has not found the flight records of her return at all?

"It's fate!" Poppy replies, even though she has already saw through what's going on.

Jean smiles and says to Kenny, "Hi, Mr. Murphy, my name is Jean. We met each other last time in the

office."

Kenny then notices that there is another woman beside Poppy. Looking at them, Kenny guesses that

she is probably Poppy's client.

He nods politely to Jean, and then his attention returns to Poppy. "Lawyer Poppy, if you don't mind,

would you like to play golf with me?"

Poppy's smile is brilliant, and the reason for her refusal is very reasonable. "I'm sorry, I need to see the

documents from Miss Barnes. Why don't you two play first?"

Says Poppy. And she gives Jean a hint with her eyes.

Jean immediately replies, "I heard that Mr. Murphy is very skillful in Golf. Why don't we have a

competition?"

Kenny thinks he's stuck in the middle and can't go up or down. If he doesn't agree with Jean, he's not a

gentleman, so he have to nod.

Poppy watches them walk away and finally stop at the court. She doesn't open the documents in her

hands. Instead, her fingers flick on them, and then she shows a smile with satisfaction.

Jean and Kenny wipe their clubs. Kenny barely talks, but Jean keeps looking for common topics with

him.

"Mr. Murphy, please don't let me win without any efforts." Jean raises a beautiful smile. She is

exceedingly fascinating and charming.

As a mature lady like Jean, she is good at showing her charm naturally and not abruptly.

Kenny chuckles and says, "the court is like a battlefield, I will never underestimate the enemy."

He makes a gesture to invite Jean to play first.

Jean changes her casual expression, and looks carefully at the holes.

No matter her standing posture, or golf swing, or even her force are as standard as a coach. It has to

be said that Jean's golf skill is quite good compared with the average women.

Another club falls, and the white ball draws a beautiful arc in the air and finally falls into the hole

accurately.

Jean smiles with satisfaction and looks at Kenny confidently. "Mr. Murphy, what do you think?"

Kenny gives her a hearty approval. "Miss Barnes's skill is really good."

"But Mr. Murphy hit a double eagle, why not..." She steps closer to Kenny. "Why not Mr. Murphy

explains to me how a double eagle is played?"

Kenny takes a step back at will, keeping a distance with her all the time. When he is about to respond,

he looks at the rest area unintentionally, and then immediately frowns.

Where's Poppy?

With a foreboding, he leaves Jean behind and goes back to the rest area under the pretext of making a

phone call, only to find a note left on the table. It says, "Mr. Murphy, Miss Barnes, I'm sorry, there's

something urgent in the office, so I have to go first."

Kenny rubs the note in the palm of his hand angrily. He realizes he has fell into the trap of Poppy again.

She definitely revealed her whereabouts deliberately last night to lead him here.

What a little sly fox! she even wants to be a matchmaker? But since she sets the trap for him, she has

to be responsible for it!
