HIS LAWYER

Chapter Four

Lisa dressed for work. she stretched her hair and applied A very light makeup that could hardly been seen.

She put on a long black skirt and a well ironed shirt and since today felt great she reached for her favourite black stilettos

How great it felt to be back to being attorney Monalisa. images of last night disgusted her along with images of Brent's alleged junior brother.

She grabbed her keys after much admiration of her usual self on the mirror before reaching for her bag

Getting into get car she drove round the block to while away time.

After yesterday's adventure she realized the office actually sucked.

Reversing towards the express. it was as if she'd did something and got away with it.

Lisa drummed her fingers on the wheels. till her car alerted her that Jamiela was calling.

"I'm driving Jamie......

"Yeah I know. the key's under the flower pot"

"What?"

Lisa never knew there was a flower pot in the house

" I meant the key to the house. it's under the flower pot at the front porch"

Again she never knew about the flower pot.

"Going to a party or something?" asking nonchalantly till Jamiela scoffed

"That's rude. I'm going to the office. I realized I can't keep on f*****g my boss to keep my job"

"Well now that's new?" chuckling

'Alice is calling' the Ai in her car felt it was best to inform her. She felt her heart race a bit probably knowing she could have been seen last night.

"Well expect my call during lunch hours. apparently Mrs Alice wants to check up on me" Lisa said ending the call to take the other.

"Good morning Alice. how do you do?" with a lively tone

"Good morning to you too attorney Monalisa. I want you to use exactly 2 minutes to get your ass to the office"

Lisa's brow furrowed. what if they did know about her little scandal yesterday.

"Well um, driving really fast on the road can cause me to get a ticket and I'll have to spend an hour more...

"That's okay" Alice cut her off "Just get here. there's another case waiting for you"

The office was more rowdy than usual, Lisa came in confused but immediately Alice, a woman in her late thirties came hauling her to the board room filled with other lawyers who had gained a degree in judicial science and the head of the firm. Her boss

Mr Clark

Alice left immediately she dropped Lisa in the quiet room.

"Attorney Monalisa, please sit" Mr Clark ushered her towards an empty seat.

Lisa scanned the room. sitting with a cautious look and watched Mr Clark stood up immediately.

"We have a very big case on board and we will take it because of our ex member Mr Brent Sullivan"

The name Brent Sullivan, rang in Lisa's head. age hoped it was nothing about last night.

but that was when she looked over the big board table and her eyes locked on whosoever she had been seeing on fashion magazines.

It made her wonder who the f**k she really saw last night in that room

But as Jamiela said. If it was really his junior brother then their looks differed allot, his brother was hot and sexy

And Brent was just cool.

Lisa cleared her throat. no words that Mr Clark said had reached her ears.

it wasn't untill she noticed his voice rising.

"Attorney Lisa??!!"

She turned to him with an innocent gaze. her eyes had begun to ache even with her glasses.

"And you'll take up the case"

She was confused.

"......What case?"

"This case."

The television was switched on and a man who she recognized from last night was being carried away by two policemen, a broadcaster was shown explaining whatever had happened.

"Allegedly drug dealer also the youngest of the Sullivan is charged for the murder of Mrs Roberto Elsa. currently in custody Mr Jace Sullivan Is unresponsive since his arrest and......

All she could see was blank once again as Mr Clark switched it off.

"This is criminal law attorney Monalisa, which you are very good at in as much as you are excellent in cases just as this, it doesn't end here"

He pushed a file towards her direction and Lisa looked at him unsure of what to expect again before opening the file.

"Romeo Roberto??" she looked up at her boss

" First and favorite grandson of the victim Elsa Roberto. he stands in to testify against Brent's brother with the proof that he'd seen him. but our problem is the prosecutor"

pushing another file towards her.

"Fredrick Wild. strangely from the government. he's been suspended multiple times and it beats me up that he's the one taking up this case. in conclusion I want you to give in your all in this"

Confused and unable to accept what she had been shown and told. Lisa straightened her back and coughed lightly.

"Can I use the restroom for a second please" excusing herself before Mr Clark changed his mind.

She put her hand under the running water while her phone rested in between her cheek and shoulders as she stared at the mirror looking tensed

immediately she heard Jamie's voice she stopped the running water.

"I am about to dig up my own grave Jamie"

"You said you're gonna call me during lunch hours. I'm on my work hours and I can't be seen on the phone apparently my boss hated my idea" she whispered harshly

Lisa ignored her "Have you seen the news?"

"Well my office got no television soooooo......

"That pervert got arrested for a lady's murder" She announced

"You mean Jace Sullivan the guy you almost got us in trouble with"

"Whatever his name is"

"Well, Pretty much what he's capable of " Jamie shrugged

"Listen Jamie...... he's arrested and I'm he's goddamn lawyer"

She said nothing but an 'ohhh' before Lisa continued

"I kicked him in his balls Jamie, I could have been the one killed, dead in a five star club with blood gushing out of my head and no good lawyer to defend me!" panicking.

Jamie sighed.

"I thought only fantasy writers think the way you do. besides if you're his lawyer then you're also doing him a favour so he won't kill anymore. I mean he can't possibly let his only chance of not getting into jail die" Jamiela added

Lisa streaked hands into her hair in frustration "Not helping Jamiela Ortega , how are you even calm about this?"

"Prolly because you're the one who kicked him in the ball and I wasn't"

immediately two knocks came on the door of the restroom and she felt her heart skipped beats again

"Gimme five minutes"

"Make it ten baby girl" Jamiela sang, obviously feeling nonchalant about this situation when it was all her fault "I have work to finish" as she hung up before Lisa could say another thing.

"Mr Brent and Mr Clark is waiting up for you downstairs" it was Alice.

"I will be down stairs in three seconds" She replied through the door

Downstairs felt cold. the whole office felt cold. or was it just her feeling shivers down her spine.

"You'll have to get to the station right now" Mr Clark announced

"Right now?" with a horrified expression

"Of course, The can't say a word to him without his lawyer. So hurry the office car is waiting just outside."
