You wouldn't happen to know a name of a good lawyer, would you? Ian asked half jokingly but to his greatest surprise she responded, i know several Mr Wilson, what kind of lawyer are u looking for?
A patient one, he flashed the kind of smile that Rosa was certain Sonia find bone melting.
I need a family lawyer, its been a rough few days, Mrs Bennett, about the party -----
As a rule, Rosa never interrupt a client but this could be the only opening that would allow her to introduce Mr Ian to her daughter. So she broke her own rule and cut in. I know two excellent family lawyers.
Mr Ian stopped, surprised, and the he shrugged. what did he have to lose? why don't u give me their names when we finish?
Rosa has a better idea. why don't i give them to u now and get it out of the way? she countered, alright he agreed. give me their names and numbers.
Rosa wrote both names down, and just this once, she decided to go with Sonia initial insistence on using initials to hide her gender in an attempt to gain a foothold in what still was a male dominated world.
Ian took the paper from her when she finished writing. he noted the names. S.C Bennett and Sam Bennett.
Bennett? he repeated, amused he asked, anyway related?
Rosa returned the smile, those are the children i sometimes want to strangle she said, they happen to also be excellent lawyers, she said proudly, adding. They took after their late father.
I'll give them a call, he told her while pocketing the paper.
Rosa draw a deep breath, she had done all she could for now, why don't you tell me what you have in mind.
Ian blinked. excuse me?
For the party, Rosa prompted.
Right, sorry, what was that, his third apology for this woman.yet somehow, he felt she understood, her eyes were sympathetic. i am just a bit overload right now.
if this is a bad time Rosa began. She was perfectly ready to postpone any further discussion. the sooner she left, the sooner she would be able to drive to St Mary and light a few candles. Never hurt to have backup.
Between you and me, Mrs Bennett, I've gonna feeling that there is not going to be a better time, Ian answered, at least nit for a while, he settle back at his desk, let me tell you what i had in mind.....
