Chapter Sixty: The Attorney (Bonus chapter 1).

Jason's POV ( Surprise!😏).

*Two years later.*

I got into my car, the latest addition to my fleet of cars. A white Maserati Quattroporte. I set my briefcase on the passenger's seat and brought out my phone. I texted my best friend and sighed when I got no reply. He was risking his life more than usual all because of a stupid mistake he made 2 years ago.

I sped down the streets of New York and stopped at my law firm. I parked my car, picked my briefcase and walked in. ' Hello's and ' good morning's were thrown my way and I replied with a curt nod each time.

" Good morning Mr Henderson." Barbara, my secretary greeted.

" Good morning Barb, how are you doing today?"

" I'm fine thank you sir."

" And how's Jase?"

" He's great!"

" Good."

I entered my office and flopped onto my chair. Just another regular day following the same routine.

***

I shut down my computer and stood up. I paced round my office and stared at my windows. I had a spectacular view of the city from my office.

What is wrong with you Jason?

I've been asking myself that question for a while now but I haven't gotten any answers. I had everything a man could ever want. I was wealthy, slightly famous, good looking. But something was missing.

Love.

All my life I've tried my luck at love. Even as a kid all I wanted was love. My mother had put me up for adoption, my foster parents only kept me because of the money they got from the government, all my exes cheated on me. But I still kept on searching hoping that one day, I'll find love.

" Barb?" I called through the intercom.

" Yes sir?"

" Clear my schedule for the day."

" Okay sir…is everything okay sir?"

" Yeah, yeah!…everything's fine I just need to clear my head."

I stood on the sidewalk outside the busy coffee shop just staring at everyone that walked past me.

" Jason?, Jason Henderson?"

I turned to see a face of someone that I never thought I'd ever bump into.

" Hey Rosa! Whoa!, It's been such a long time.

She was wearing a blue shirt with light grey slacks. Her brown hair was left down and she wore a bright grin as always.

" I know, it's such a small world. I'd have never thought I'd meet you here of all places."

" Me too."

" So how are you?, How's work and all?"

" I've been great I guess. I've been swamped with work since the retrials."

" Wow! Attorney on demand!" She teased and I grinned.

" So, you? Last I heard you were working at a tech company as the PA to the CEO."

" Affirmative. It's actually Kimia's company."

" Whoa! Really?"

" Yes. She is the sole heir to the Reynolds group of companies."

" That's amazing!"

" It really is."

" How is she?"

" Busy. The company was in a lot of debt when she took over. But she has somehow managed to put us back on top. She rarely ever has time for herself now because of the pressure of being a young CEO."

" I hope she'll be able to handle it."

" She's Kimia Reynolds of course she can handle it."

I chuckled.

" So are you going anywhere?, Can I drop you off or something?"

" I'm actually going to pick up Miguel from school."

" Cool. Let me take you."

" No!, Thanks for the offer but I can just take a cab."

" I insist."

" Jason-"

" Come on, we can catch up on the way there."

" Okay, let's go."

We talked about different things as I drove us to Miguel's school. Miguel had been talking to some of his friends but he paused when he saw his mum come down from my car.

He had grown a lot since I last saw him. He was taller and his features were becoming more defined.

" Mami." He greeted hugging his mother.

" Mi amore how was school today?"

" Great!, But let's focus on you. Who's car is that?!"

" It's Jason's." I took that as my cue to step out of the car and I waved slightly.

" You remember him right?"

" Of course. He helped you and aunt Kim get out of that place." Miguel replied.

" Hey Jason."

" Hey Miguel. You are way bigger than I remembered. What are you now?, 15?"

He gave me a toothy grin.

" Nah!, I'm just 9."

" 9?, You're getting old. In a couple of years you'll be as tall as I am!"

He grinned even wider this time.

" What's that?" Rosa asked pointing at the toy Miguel was holding.

" Oh this?, It's Paul's. He let me have it till I get mine."

" I am not buying you another toy?"

" But mami!"

" No! You already have a lot of toys at home. Now get in the car."

" Aunt Kim is gonna get it for me anyways." He huffed as he got in.

" I'm sorry did he just say aunt Kim?"

Rosa sighed and rubbed her temples.

" I swear that girl spoils him."

" So, where to?"

" Central Park please. Nona's already waiting there for him. She'll take him home while I get back to work."

After dropping Miguel off at Central Park, I drove Rosa back to work. She was about to get out when I stopped her.

" Hey! I uh…I was thinking maybe we could go out for dinner on Saturday. That's if you don't have plans!"

" I'm sorry, I do."

My heart deflated a little at that.

" May I ask with whom or what your plans are?"

" I'm going out to dinner with you silly!" She exclaimed smiling and I grinned.

" Great!, That's great!"

" Thanks for today Jason."

She gave me a kiss on my cheek and I would have turned red had it not been for my dark skin. She had entered the building when I finally remembered that I didn't collect her number.

" Shit!" I exclaimed hitting my head on the steering wheel.

I picked up my now empty cup of coffee and saw a number scribbled on it and I smiled.

Maybe I might find love after all.
