Professional Ethics

I entered the room shortly after Sebastian. When I saw how she was eyeing Sebastian, I felt a clench in my gut. Those were the eyes of a woman who wanted... no, wanted to snatch the man in front of them. The lust oozing from her eyes made me almost mad. Here she was, being interrogated because she abused her child but all she could think about was herself. 

How did one get so selfish? How did one think only of themselves when they had committed such heinous crimes against another person? 

She noticed me much later than expected, only when I took a seat beside Sebastian. Her face twisted into a rage and she clenched her fist. Seeing how my eyes traveled down to see them, she quickly pulled them under the table in a manner of defense. 

The stage was set. I knew that she was going to withhold as much information as she could so as to save herself.
