America 1982

Warm sunlight shines through the window into the presidential suite on the fifth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC.

At the age of thirty-nine, Delia Keyes already had a head of silver hair. Her eyelids trembled slightly as the light hit her. Finally, she was teased by the sunlight and woke up from her dream.

She lazily sat up from the bed. She lowered her head and closed her eyes to think about last night's experience. Then she raised her head and glanced at the young man next to her who was having a good dream and had a body full of familiar muscles.

It was a new trainee lawyer provided by my friend.

Such young boys with good looks and good figures who have just graduated from law school are shared with each other like free cowboys by women who are busy every day and can only rely on call services to solve their physical problems.

This guy last night, except for his poor skills, was pretty good in other aspects.

She stretched out her hand and squeezed the other person's chest muscles twice, savoring the feel of the touch. Then she walked to the bar naked, poured a quarter glass of whiskey and drank it.

The trainee lawyer also woke up at this time, rubbed his eyes, and then walked out of bed like Delia, wanting to gently hug this woman who was not much younger than his mother from behind and show off as much as possible. Charm.

"You have ten minutes to wash up, get dressed, and then get out of here." Delia seemed to guess what the other party was going to do, put down the wine glass, and said in a cold voice.

The man was stunned for a moment, but he did not dare to take a step forward to hug the other person. He could only spread his hands on the spot: "Why? Ms. Case? We were very happy last night."

"You said it was last night. I might have been happy the first two times, but I was very unhappy the third time. You have to learn how to endure with the Cowherd." Delia turned around, leaned on the bar, and looked at her. The trainee lawyer said expressionlessly:

"In the lawyer profession, if you have too little energy, you can only wait to be eliminated."

"That person who once said he would recommend me to join..." the trainee lawyer asked with a depressed look on his face.

"When you go to the Cowherd training class to get your diploma, and then mom verifies your progress again, she will consider it. You can go now." Delia picked up the cigarette and lit it in her mouth, interrupting the other party. , said in a very ruthless tone.

The trainee lawyer rolled his eyes, turned around and walked towards the messy clothes on the floor. Delia lit her cigarette:

"By the way, you can learn yoga, which will make your butt more upright. Baby, you will be more able to please your mother."

At this time, the doorbell rang outside the door. The trainee lawyer who was lifting up his pants glanced at Delia nervously, but Delia stood behind the bar with an indifferent expression and continued to pour whiskey for herself. He urged patiently:

"Go and open the door. If you want me to teach you this kind of work, you might as well become a cowherd as your main job, because your brain is useless and you can only make a living on the body below."

The trainee lawyer quickly walked over and opened the door of the guest room. He was a little embarrassed when he saw the person outside the door, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. Outside the door was Delia's assistant Kane. He lowered his head slightly and did not look at the other person. eyes, and whispered hello: "Mr. Kane Fan."

However, Kane ignored the rookie's greetings, pushed him away and walked in. When he saw Delia standing calmly in front of the bar drinking, he breathed out speechlessly:

"Delia..."

"You better have something important to do, otherwise you should be able to tell that I am discussing the legal shortcomings of the United States with the studious junior law students." Delia drank the whiskey in her mouth:

"Can't you leave a message on my pager or call the hotel lobby? Do you have to come to see me at six o'clock in the morning?"

Kane took off his expensive watch and threw it to Delia: "It's already eight forty, Delia, your pager has been turned off."

Delia glanced at the time on the watch, immediately threw away her wine glass and cigarette, cursed "Shit" and walked quickly towards the bathroom:

"I shouldn't have agreed to the hotel's suggestion last night to upgrade me to the presidential suite for free. Can you imagine that the premium suite I usually stay in is 200 square meters, while the more expensive presidential suite is only 170 square meters. The worst part is , the sun shines into the room later than in the premium suite, and the sun shines into the bedroom on time at six o'clock in the premium suite."

"Don't be nervous, I'm used to it." Kane saw the trainee lawyer's button-tying hands shaking slightly and comforted him:

"Older female lawyers will become anxious due to excessive stress and become a little nervous. Go have breakfast and calm down before your thirtieth birthday comes, or before you get ahead in this field. , there will be many free part-time nights like this, learn to enjoy it.”

At this time, Delia had already walked out with a toothbrush in her mouth. While brushing her teeth, she put on her bra with one hand. Then she walked up to Kane, with her back to Kane, and motioned for him to help button it up.

At this time, she also finished brushing her teeth, threw the toothbrush directly on the ground, picked up water to rinse her mouth, glanced at the trainee lawyer who was quietly opening the door to leave, and said to Kane: "That guy is far worse than you, really Miss you when you were young, Kane."

"If you still want me to be your assistant for a few more years, don't bother me anymore." Kane said with a smile.

At the same time, he helped Delia pass the clothes one by one. While getting dressed, Delia asked: "What are the arrangements for this morning?"

"Nine o'clock is the regular meeting of partners, and then there is a business that you asked the branch office to book for you before, Actor Company. The founder is a Stanford University student. You said you were interested in this business before, and the other party was very excited. So I flew from California to have an interview with you in person, and the appointment started at nine o'clock, but usually ends at nine fifteen. It's not a big problem for you to contact them again. I helped you make a conversation with the other party for about forty minutes. The length of time was determined, with a half-hour break, and then a meeting with Mr. Krause, the chairman of the Washington Judicial Forum. At noon, as Compaq’s external legal counsel, he had lunch with the other party’s leadership team who flew to Washington. They have some lobbying business in Washington. I hope you can give them some ideas..." Kane started talking about Delia's work schedule today.

"OK, that's enough. It will be enough by noon." Delia quickly put on her women's uniform suit and used a comb to comb her simple and capable short silver-white hair that exposed her ears.

In the mirror, she has once again transformed into the expressionless, domineering independent woman, the first female partner of Davis Polk \u0026 Associates in 140 years.

She nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to her assistant:

"Come on, put some clothes on, it feels good to be a follower of God again."

Kane followed her and said as he walked: "Your ex-husband called the office last night. I answered the phone. He asked if you had time and if you were willing to go on a remarriage trip with him. He could book one. European Sightseeing Cruise…”

"He still thinks that I don't remarry him because I am simply obsessed with work? No, I am indeed obsessed with work, but his ability in this area also plays a large role in the divorce factors." Delia stepped on her high heels and stepped forward Walking into the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed, and she spoke calmly. There was no joking in her tone, only the calmness and indifference of a lawyer talking about work:

"Describe Actor to me and remind me why it attracts me."
