Welcome miss Whitney, Barrister Philip is with a visitor say you should go to your office first.

But...

Mrs Mabel, can I have the file for the boy in detention?

A sweet voice said behind Whitney, she turned around only to see another mini god in front of her, Gregory voice is sweet but this one is like Melody, he is tall and handsome, Whitney couldn't help but salivate on his cuteness

Mrs Mabel, give him the file he turned around and left.

He is Brett, the only son of Barrister Philip, his office is right opposite yours. Hearing her telling her about him, she is catch in the act. He is single too.

Whitney felt like the ground should open and shallow her

Ma, you are? Whitney asked to change the topic.

Mrs Mabel.

Okay, I will like to see Barrister Philip, just to say hi!

Alright go through the left down and turn right, the first door, is his office

Are you not going to come with me? Don't worry, go on, he is not a strict person.

Yes Mrs Mabel.

Jeremy, I can't believe that this is you.

Of cause, I thought been the CEO of Mega multi aviation empire Intl is stressful, I don't know politics is the worse.

You don't say.

It's a good thing, I resigned from the company as the CEO. Philip laughed

Dad! Oh sir Jeremy you are here?

Yes, I came to visit my friend, since he no longer care about our friendship.

Don't mind him.

Is this how you lawyers behave, you don't entertain your guest?

Dad will entertain you.

Don't mind him, if he wants to get entertain he should have come home, why are you here son?

I want to go to prison to get the boy bail but I will still need to go to court.

Oh! Sure, you can.

She hit Brett.

It's ok, miss Whitney, I didn't look that was why.

Whitney is surprise he know her name.

You know my name? She asked

Yes, I am Brett, nice to meet you. She takes his hand.

Nice meeting you too, Good morning sir!

Oh! You have resume? She nodded. Today, you might get bored because most of the lawyers are out.

She could go with me to the prison. Whitney mouth form a zero. If you don't want you can stay behind.

No, I go with you, I can learn from it.

Where did you get this beauty? Philip, you still like little girls?

Of cause, can I have her number?

Maybe, you should get it from your son? Gregory, is the one that brought her here? Yes, so stay off her.

This boy, is playing with fire, fine, I need to get that property I told you about.

Wait! Do you still want that property at Lagos? Of cause, I want it, those people have been staying on government property for so long for free and the government need to sell it off but most people don't want to involved because of the masses

Fine, I will make enquires on it for you.

I will appreciate, let me run along since you don't want to entertain me.

Bad boy, I will look for time to come home.

Barrister Dickson, here is the research, you asked me to get.

Alright! He scan through then Cathy close her eyes. The research are...

Sorry sir, I will...

It's good, in fact it's excellent. Cathy jumped in excitement, he look at her, the very first day she said she wants to do her chamber attachment in his chamber, he had promised himself that he will make her his girlfriend but when he met Craig, he lost interest.

He had met Craig, when Cathy is in comatose, Craig look for him to tell him that Cathy is sick and that he should bear with her till she is fine.

Then few days after Cathy resume, Tony had visited him, telling him that he should give Cathy alot of work, Tony is not as scary as Craig.

Seeing this two men, he knows that Cathy is trouble, so he mind his business.

Thanks sir!

It's okay, you can go back to work. She nodded and left, she smiled wide.

Whitney and Brett went for the prison get bail after getting the court permission for bail.

Barrister!

Just call me Brett!

He smiled!

I didn't know the court asked for such kind of fine, for bail?

Yes, they do, especially when it involved a criminal case, the demand are often stiff.

Oh, I really learn something from it.

I am hungry, I need to grab a meal, will you like to also eat.

Uh...

It's okay, you should come with me. Brett and Whitney enter the Chinese restaurant.

Hope you love Chinese food?

Do you have water? The waiter nodded. Then get me water.

Hey, don't be ridiculous, pick something is on me.

Whitney look at it, she saw that Yangchow Fried Rice! is not too expensive so she picked it.

Yangchow fried Rice. Whitney said, the waiter left and return with the food

Bon appetit!

He bow and left, Whitney and Brett eat in silence, he is way cute, the way he open his mouth to eat and talk, Whitney fine him interesting and he is way calm.

She is tired of the food but she just keeps forcing it.

Hey, if you are tired let it go. Brett words came up.

No, I am not tired, God hate waste.

But...

She Belch and the next thing she throw up on him.

Brett and Whitney enter the car, she is embarrass.

It's okay!

Silent go in the car! Whitney yelled all of sudden.

Stop the car, please!

Why? Do you have...

Alright! But be fast.

Whitney get down, Brett is looking at her, she returns without buying anything

I thought you want to buy hair accessories.

Yes but it's too expensive, I was thinking it's like a thousand naira but the shopkeeper said it's two thousand, so I will work for it.

Brett look at her, two thousand naira is small compared to law fees that she is paying for.

I will get it next time, I just want Cathy to have what to tie her hair with, she is always looking for what to tie her hair with.

Who is Cathy? If you don't mind my asking.

No, I don't, she is my best friend, she is cute, intelligent and also a law student, if you meet her for the very first day, you will love to make friends with her.

Whitney apart from law, do you also study advertising?

She blushed and face palm herself.

It's okay, maybe I could meet her one day.

Sure, you will.

Cathy! Are you not going home? Barrister Dickson asked her.

I will, I want to finish this fast before leaving.

Someone is waiting for you outside.

Let him wait.

He should wait? Barrister Dickson asked her, Cathy nodded, so he left, the secretary asked her to lock when she is done.

When she is not forthcoming, Tony called her.

Tony! Why is he calling? Hello Tony!
