"Mr. Wilson, you wanted to see me" I said as I entered his office, spotting a man in a chair beside him. "Maybe a new lawyer",I thought since,I didn't see his face since his back was facing me."𝕐𝕖𝕤, 𝕨𝕖 𝕘𝕠𝕥 𝕒 𝕟𝕖𝕨 𝕝𝕒𝕨𝕪𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦'𝕣𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕨𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕙𝕚𝕞 ." 𝕄𝕤.

You can show him around throughout the day. I'll show you a variety of office layouts and office equipment. I'll show you how to use the office equipment and the devices I use to do work.

I walked into my office , hanging my blazer and placing my bag on the desk.

As I sat down to breathe in everything I just heard, a knock came and I already knew it was him.

"What do you want?" I asked, still flipping through my files.

"I can see you are not very pleased to see me," Aaronn said as he sat comfortably in the chair opposite me. How dare him, when did I offer him a chair?

"Well, I'm very pleased, okay? How can I not be pleased to work with the might Aaron Knight" I teased.

"Wow,you flatter me, Astrid" he said, smiling, which is one of the fakest but beautiful smile I've ever seen. Aaron can get anyone down with just his appearance, but not me. His hair was combed back, revealing his amber hunter eyes with a high nose bridge with the most sexist lips ever. He's just a very handsome man with a bad personality. He was a bit muscular and way much taller then same. He was dressed in a black suit with sleeves rolled up to his arms and black pants. He's gorgeous, but his sister is way more.

And I knew my days left in the office limited with Aaron here,we might just kill each other before we even solve a case together.

"I'll be delighted to do the honors."
