"ngrrr_ngrr" The alarm woke up Peniel from a deep sleep.
Peniel woke up while yawning and switched off the alarm beside his bed.
Peniel moved to his washroom and took a shower and picked up a black suit.
After a while he came out of his room and found Hardin waiting outside his room.
"You got to be my bodyguard nowadays" Peniel said while looking at Hardin.
" We have to go and you have to drive today, I don't feel like driving my car" Hardin said.
" You got problems in your punk" Peniel replied and started moving.
They moved inside the car and drove away.
Soon they arrived in their Company called White Lawyers.
They moved in the elevator.
They moved out of the elevator, the floor accompanied with different lawyers working on each table separated with transparent mirrors to give space to each other.
Peniel and Hardin entered their different offices.
Time passed by and around 9 am when everyone was working, the steps of high heels were heard and everyone turned to see who was coming.
The lady wore a white suit walking so gorgeous, attracting everyone's eyes to admire her with her beauty.
Hardin raised his eyes and looked to see who was coming.
He got stared at the lady who was Tessie.
He smiled when looking at Tessie but he changed his smile after seeing Peniel smiling too.
Tessie walked gorgeously towards the main office.
Hardin was full of thoughts about the coming of Tessie.
Tessie moved into the main office.
"Good morning, I'm Tessie" Tessie greeted the man who was seated in the office. The man was 45 years old.
"I think uuhhp.. Let me call the officer and he will show where to work" The man said while checking his files, he took his office telephone and called.
Hardin was busy with his work and at the moment Tessie came out with the officer and gave her office.
The office of Tessie faced Hardin.
Hardin looked Tessie with a side eye waiting for Tessie to settle and maybe she could see him.
After a while when Tessie was just arranging her files she turned and she saw Hardin and she got stuck proving if the man is Hardin who she met with in the library.
As Tessie got stuck, Hardin was just stretching himself; he met eye to eye with Tessie.
They both got stuck on each other and Tessie waved her hand towards Hardin and Peniel was just watching.
Hardin noticed that Peniel was watching and he pretended as if he didn't care, he waved back with a careless smile and turned quickly to his table.
Tessie was just stuck on what Hardin did and she had no idea. She smiled and just turned at his table and continued with his work.
Peniel took his phone and texted Tessie.
Tessie received a text and opened it, "I've fixed your car"
Tessie smiled and texted back.
Peniel received the text, "Thanks, so where will you give me back my car?"
Peniel also texted back, " We are just in one office and you can meet anytime"
Tessie received the text and raised her head after reading the text.
Tessie looked around looking for Peniel , she looked for a while and saw Peniel looking at her with a smile.
Tessie smiled faintly while holding her head looking at Peniel.
She waved her hand with a sweet smile and Peniel waved back.
Time passed by and it was around 10 am when Hardin was in his office busy with his work and his door was pulled.
Hardin raised his head and saw Tessie entering while holding a plate with two cups of coffee.
"You should have some rest, I've brought a coffee for
you" Tessie said while approaching Hardin.
"You are most welcomed in our company and I hope we will have a good time together" Hardin said in pleasure when putting away his files.
Tassie got seated and put the plate on the table and took one cup and Hardin took the other cup.
"You look so pretty," Hardin said while taking a sip of coffee.
"Ooohh.. Thanks" Tessie replied while dropping the cup.
"What about the book?" Tessie asked.
" I think you have to give me more time and soon I will be done" Hardin replied.
At the moment Peniel stood up and moved to Hardin, he moved very fast and entered with a sigh of a smile.
"You guys know each other by any means?" Peniel asked them with an attentive face.
"uuuhhh... We just met in the library yesterday" Hardin replied.
"This can't be possible. I met with her yesterday" Peniel said while laying on the glass wall.
"Do you guys know each other?" Tessie asked while turning her face to Peniel.
"Yeah, we are like brothers" Peniel replied.
"So I've just met with you two guys on the same day, how interesting!" Tessie said while looking at both of them.
"But it's good, right?" Hardin said.
"Your car that you left is okay and I can take you to your
car" Peniel said.
Suddenly a lady entered the office, the lady was black with Brazilian hair.
" I'm sorry if I have interfered with anything but I need to talk with Hardin" The lady said with a cold face.
"I got nothing to talk to you about," Hardin said while his face turned more serious.
"I have been calling but did not respond either and I thought maybe you have a problem so I've come to see you" The lady said calmly.
"Atello, Hardin is not good since last night" Peniel interfered in the conversation.
" I'm good and I got something to do and I think you all can leave" Hardin said while starting to open his files.
"I think we have to leave" Peniel said to both ladies.
Attelo and Tessie heard what Peniel said.
Tessie was just in a dilemma.
"Thanks for your coffee" Hardin said to Tessie.
"You are welcome" Tessie replied with piercing eyes and moved out.
Attelo left without any words while Tessie whispered to Andile, "Who is this lady to Hardin?"
""A family friend and I don't know about anything either" Peniel replied.
