HIS LAWYER

"Objection your honor. My client is confronted with physical evidence which this case lacks. There are no bruises or marks that explains that my client beats the plaintiff up" She rose up. composed and firm, her skin looked delicate and well tanned it complimented the grey skirt she wore over a plain black shirt. Along with the glasses she wore over her grey eyes It's how she'd always dressed for cases like this. Serious and Simple. After cutting the plaintiff's attorney off. The judge gave her a glance and replied "Sustained. Please continue with your closing argument" Attorney Lisa nodded and stepped out. glancing at her opponent to tell him that it was over. "Thank you, your honor. In conclusion the case is built on shaky ground. There are no physical marks and it has been notified that they have been divorced. With my clients solid alibi,I urge you to return a verdict of not guilty and let justice prevail." The judge paused then moved over towards the plaintiff. Before adding "Thank you counselor the jury will now deliberate" The whole courtroom was restless. from side whispers to judgemental phrases. The plaintiff who was the wife to the defendant growled every second at her attorney. Mean while Lisa stood with confidence after giving a reassuring glare towards her client. Minutes later. the judge announced "This Court has heard all the arguments presented in this case. I find the defendant not guilty...... He was suddenly cut off by a yell "Nooo. Asshole!!!!!!" The woman screamed from where she sat determined to cause a scene if her attorney hadn't held her "You're not gonna get away with this you scumbag!" "Therefore I hereby dismiss the charges, court is adjourned" Once again her case was dismissed. She dreamed of a warm strawberry bubble bath while packing up her things. She dreamed of a long nap. All she wanted was to do was get herself home. Heading out she met with her opponent who happened to be in same firm with her. probably the wife thought if she'd get a lawyer from same firm as her. There would be a chance of her not leaving the courtroom in defeat. "Sam?. that's a good job you did in there" Walking up to him in her high black platforms. "And you did better. as always, you beat me everytime I'm going against you" Lisa chuckled. her smile illuminating the court room "Don't be silly, I think you did exceptionally well. you reached the third trial and that. that you've never made happen" "I guess you're the drive attorney Lisa" They chuckled as they walked side by side through the hungry inquisitive paparazzi that filled the hallways before reaching the secured lobby that led outside. "I could take that as a compliment, But you do know. your client was indeed guilty as charged and you being a damn good lawyer saves his silly ass from jail" She said nothing till they got to their private cars, provided by their firm and smiled at him "Of course I know. but you see Sam. I don't really care cause I'm a lawyer and my job is to defend my client at all cost. making sure the Public Sees his 'silly ass' innocent." she started to open the door of the car. "I suggest you quit bothering. they'd pay you up anyways" With that she left. 'Monalisa Hunter, also known as New York's Case slayer has done it again. proving to us that...... Jamelia turned off the screen the second she heard the sound of the gates opening by themselves. caramel skinned with rich brown curly hair. Her mother was Jamaican so her curvy shape wasn't a surprise. Holding a bowl of cereal as she opened the door to tease. "New York's case slayer in the house" smiling widely as she closed the door behind her "Do you mind?" She rolled her eyes In return. kicking off her shoes, heading straight for the kitchen. "Well missy you've been on the news so excuse me if I can't help it" She stuffed cereal in her mouth but couldn't hide that faint black American accent "Then stop listening to it" Reaching for a cup of coffee under the coffee maker. "b***h I can't, being f*****g famous comes with fame and your friend here will always listen to the news when your famous" Lisa sipped the coffee, peeled of her shirt and took of her glasses "You do know nothing you said. makes any sense right?" "Wellllll...... I bet it makes sense that I heard the male was guilty" avoiding Lisa's gaze "I get paid either ways Jamie" she finished the last drops in the cup "I'm going to take a shower" With that she climbed upstairs. determined not to come back down again. It had been a long day. and she soaked her self in a strawberry bubble bath for more than half an hour before snuggling herself on the bed. it wasn't untill 7pm did she stretch and went down for a vanilla yogurt before settling down to complete her paper work on her laptop. She hummed. brushed back her hair and adjusted her glasses before typing again and when a call came in she took it without knowing who was on the line. "Monalisa Hunter speaking...." "No need for introduction case slayer" "Oh Alice, I'm almost done with the paperwork for the time" "Was it the ones you left behind or the ones Mr Clark said not to work on anymore since our face of the firm won another top case" Alice sounded more pleased than ever. "I should loose one day don't you think?" rolling eyes as she focused more on her laptop "Don't you see?. you can't" Alice chuckled "And you know what else you didn't see today?....... "The top lawyers from abroad recruiting new lawyers under some billion dollar contract that Mr Clark brought in as soon as the trial started?" "Oh so you did see it?" "Yes I did. and I'll pass so you can hang up. I've got the paperwork to finish" "Come on Lisa who sees an opportunity and walks over it on stilettos?" "Someone that doesn't like too much attention and is very much comfortable where she is...... so byeeeee. I'm hanging up now" Lisa hanged up as sighed. And just when she thought she was going to have her peace of mind.............. "Who's getting attention and who isn't?" Jamelia cut in. making Lisa's heart skip five beats. Lisa turned to her with a questioning look and a frown "There's a word called knocking. and luckily it's not just a word. it's something you do. very essential please" Sucking the air around her harshly. "Welllll. Alexa just beeped me. there's a party downtown today" Lisa arched a brow and turned back to her laptop "Well safe trip. don't get pregnant or kill someone. I won't defend you in court and that's a promise" "There's no need for that cause you are coming with me" Lisa scoffed without making eye contact with Jamiela. "Could you close the door when you leave please. thank you so much"dog "Monalisa!. I'm serious girl. did you know sitting all say causes claustrophobia? it damages the cell............ "I'm not listening to your goggled speech Jamiela.... leave now while I'm being nice" "Well you will when I tell you about Brent being at the party" Jamiela turned away. feeling Lisa's gaze on her "What did you say?" Lisa's eyes moved from the laptop towards her slowly. "You heard me" chewing her nails "The Brent Sullivan. county's most elegant business tycoon who is unfortunately your image of a man. is going to be there alive and breathing party air that you hate the most" Lisa readjusted on her seat. "You're not saying this just because you want me to go.......... Suddenly Jamiela brought out a card "I got two vip tickets to be in the same lounge as Brent Sullivan. but just Incase you don't wanna go I could just..... She snatched the cards from Jamelia immediately and went over across the room. Skimming through it slowly. it was written there. Brent Sullivan was indeed a special guest. Lisa took her work seriously but it wouldn't hurt to grab the chance to see her role model. even though it was in a place filled with sweaty people and slutty girls. She would see him and drive home immediately. then wake up tomorrow to her ordinary usual life.
