Chapitre 20: Leonard's Secret
Now that there is a breakthrough, the rest of things will fall into place.
Rachel is in charge of finding news and materials around the world about the BMW X5's new electronic gear control system, while Priya burrows into the archives to find all relevant precedents for second-degree murder.
Through Leonard, Martin brought in a neurology Ph.D. from Columbia University and asked him to help retrieve theoretical evidence that human behavioral control in an emergency is more of a muscle memory aspect.
Two other psychology and sociology consultants who work part-time at the firm also joined the team, whose only job is to help weed out jury members who may have innate biases against their clients.
As for Martin himself, is calling team members to create benefits.
"Max, I need you!"
The female voice on the other end of the line was still frivolous: "What makes you so horny at two in the afternoon when the sun is still shining? Let me guess...I heard Caroline say that there are often naked parties on the Upper East Side. , do you want me to come and help you out?"
"You've got the right person, mate! My mother is Kelly Brooklyn..."
Kelly Brook is a model and actress who has recently swept the whole of Europe and the United States with her natural 36E and beautiful face.
Max has often referred to himself as "Brooklyn Kelly" recently, which is an American homonym.
"Is it too late for me to ask the hotel to prepare a party? The kind with a swimming pool and a five-meter wide bed..."
Martin smiled into the phone. "Listen Max, I need your cupcakes for my dedicated colleagues."
"Rolling the bed can make me feel good, and earning money can make me feel good!" Max's ridicule can never be separated from that thing: "No problem, how much do you need?"
"One hundred cakes, it's better to have different flavors." Martin calculated in his heart and said, "I know there are a lot. You can call a taxi and I will reimburse you."
"Luckily Caroline didn't buy that vibrator last night, or I'd miss out on a big deal."
"As a friend you should remind her that I'm always on call and it's free..."
Hanging up the phone, Martin was about to go back to the conference room to check the progress, but found that something was wrong with Leonard inside.
While discussing academic issues with the busy doctor of neurology, he kept looking at Priya across the conference table, intentionally or not.
His eyes are full of nostalgia, anticipation, and a hint of heather wandering...
Priya was in a good state. She kept her head down and busy with her work, as if she didn't notice anything.
Martin shook his head helplessly and opened the door of the conference room: "Leonard, come out, I have something to tell you."
Leonard stood up in embarrassment and walked out the door, not forgetting to look back before closing the door.
"I thought you wanted to find out why Mrs. Hofstadter didn't like you, but why she liked your lawyer brother, so you offered to stay here to help..."
Mrs. Hofstadter was Leonard's mother, an accomplished Ph.D. in psychology.
Martin walked to a corner where no one was around, and said helplessly, "Can you take away your angry look? This is where Priya and I work. Don't make us feel embarrassed, okay? Leonard!"
Leonard played with his fingers in a panic: "You know... I'm sorry Martin, it's my fault, I didn't want to interfere with your work progress..."
Martin looked at it amusingly, shook his head and said, "Tell me Leonard, don't you like Penny? Why do you suddenly like Priya again?"
Not wanting to lie to his best friend, Leonard explained awkwardly: "It wasn't me... it was... well, something unspeakable happened to us last night... ..."
"Are you serious?" The explosive news made Martin's voice instantly increase by fifty decibels: "Are you sure you guys..."
"Don't be so loud!" Leonard hurriedly motioned for Martin to calm down: "Penny has recently dated a new boyfriend, so I just wanted to chat with someone, Priya just had time, and I went to her apartment .. ... Then Priya suddenly kissed me and pushed me down on the sofa..."
In the US, it's normal for friends to share their bed-scrolling experiences with each other.
Martin's eyes lit up as Leonard recounted his "yoga experience" with Priya last night.
The tone also became envious and jealous: "Lucky boy!"
"...Everything is beautiful..." Leonard's face changed from contentment and showing off to a little puzzled: "But when I wanted to have an in-depth chat with her about the relationship between the two of us , she kicked me out of her apartment without saying a word...did I do something wrong?"
"Your relationship?" Martin said seriously: "ok, I can tell you very clearly, you made a big mistake!"
"when?"
"When you want to go further with her after you're done."
Martin shook his head with a laugh: "Leonard, Priya is of Indian descent and needs to work much harder than others to survive in a place like Manhattan full of prejudice and discrimination, which makes her very stressed, understand. ?"
Leonard twisted his body and asked suspiciously, "So what?"
"So, she simply doesn't have the time and energy to maintain a relationship right now."
Martin patiently explained Leonard, a love idiot: "That's right, you guys fucked...or simply say Priya fucked you, even willing to put on a standing horse for you... ...but that doesn't mean she wants a more stable relationship with you..."
"She's just so stressed out and needs this kind of stimulation to vent..."
Speaking of this, Martin suddenly paused, and the smile on his face became even more eccentric: "Although this description may make you feel ashamed..."
"Okay, Leonard, you're a relief valve!"
This wonderful metaphor made Leonard instantly understand his role, and he saw it slowly wither.
Martin still refuses to give up the opportunity to attack his friend's self-confidence: "...I really didn't expect you to think about dating after you're done with Priya. Normally, this is not something that girls would take the initiative to mention. topic?"
"You're an animal, Martin!" Leonard retorted weakly: "The reason humans are great is that we have more complex and sensitive emotional needs in a purely sexual relationship..."
"Be mature." Martin plausibly said: "Love is essentially the hormones synthesized by endocrine cells that promote the secretion of dopamine and increase the amount of information in the central nervous system... It is no different from the addiction mechanism of drugs. …"
By the way, although Martin studied history as an undergraduate, he was always A+ in chemistry and physiology in high school.
Seeing that Leonard still wanted to find more scientific evidence to refute his point of view, Martin simply made a final decision.
"Leonard, let's face it, from the moment you want to have a stable relationship with Priya, you've lost a beautiful, sexy, exotic, and yoga-moving perfect rolling bed partner! UU Reading www.uukanshu. com"
"Forget it." Leonard waved his hand a little resentfully: "It's my fault, I didn't consider Priya's thoughts..."
Martin hugged his shoulders with schadenfreude: "It's not necessarily a bad thing, at least you don't have to worry about how to deal with Rajesh's anger, after all, we promised not to hit his sister's idea, you're foul... "
After the emotional negotiation, Leonard greeted the people in the conference room and left. Martin paid special attention to Priya and found that she had no emotional fluctuations at all.
Well, Martin is more certain of his judgment: Leonard is a pressure relief valve!
It's a one-time thing!
After another busy time, the door to the conference room was pushed open by Max Black, who was carrying three large cardboard boxes.
"Max, you know I can't afford the cost of the space shuttle."
Martin stood up and helped take the box and put it on the messy conference table, then opened it and saw that it was full of very colorful cupcakes.
"Are you sure there's no marijuana and vanilla in it?" Martin took a bite of a dark chocolate cake: "This is a law firm after all, and we can go to the archives and enjoy some fun..."
"Does your file room have a five-meter wide bed?"
Max joked casually, then looked at the mountains of files and documents on the desk, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
"What are you doing? Studying how to rule the earth?"
Martin shrugged noncommittally: "In a sense, except for the high seas and a few places that are still eating people, the law has already ruled the entire earth, and we are just some hard-working civil servants..."
