Chapter 2 Two Acquaintances

Irene and Gloria sat face to face in the coffee shop.

"You said that I couldn't take the case?" Gloria went to the sofa and sat down. Irene nodded regretfully. Gloria raised an eyebrow and said, "What is the case?"

"Well..."

Irene then told her the case. Gloria's fingers on her left lap moved, and a ray of black light flickered in her almond eyes, "It's interesting. Who are the two parties?"

"You don't have to know..."

Gloria looked up at Irene curiously.

Irene sighed and said with heartache, "Your husband!"

Gloria's breathing quickened for a second.

Irene clenched her chest and said with a sad look, "We are meant to miss such a large sum of money. What a misfortune!"
