"How would you know when you're so damn wasted," Daven spoke.

"Im not wasted nor busy! you knew about that. We've always been together and you two didn't even inform me about your plans!" I scream on his front.

He still sitting on the large sofa while reading some documents.

"Aki, look at yourself when you and m--," cut him off.

"Cut off your sister's damn! name." uttered in annoyance.

He lowers down the documents and took a quick survey on my face.

"Alright!" Daven screamed without any choices.

"That wasn't really a plan but your grandfather wants me to try other firms. That's the kores law firm he is talking about," he explained.

I doubt that he's telling a truth.

"Really Daven?" Amara in nowhere slit her head on the door.

Both of us were shocked and by anytime will get heart attacked.

"Damn! Amara, your so creepy!" Daven interrogated.

Amara laughed like an evil before she talks.

"Do you believe this man's reasons, Aki? I doubt no. So Daven, you'll be on a long process of explaining the truth reasons, of yours." she bumbled.

Amy waved her hands while giving us confusion before she finally left the whole room.

Daven is so pissed off, so am i.

"I'll kill you Daven Luerto if you lied about your reasons," I warned him.

He raised his hands and explained everything to me. There, he had the decency of lying to me when he can just tell me the truth. What a lier professional lawyer.

"Now spill it, spill everything." it wasn't the tone of warning nor a command.

"Alright!" he paused.

"Remember when we are on the bar?" Daven ask.

"Daven that was 2 days ago, are you trying to lie again?"

"Im not! now listen. I saw Melissa at the bar with another boy. Someone told me that it was a lawyer in Kores Law Firm."

"The hell!? you're with Molissa the whole time!" Really don't know if I would believe this man.

"You're too drunk that you couldn't even remember who you were with!" He laughed and put down the documents that he was reading.

"Look Aki, how can I be with Molissa when we already broke up? tell me how?" Daven challenge.

"Fuck! I forgot." I cursed and made a facepalm.

"See, that's the reason why you don't know anything."

"But you could just tell me the day after we went to the bar!"

"Look, how could Amara and I tell you, when we couldn't find you in the whole BGC bar?" calmly mumbled and as he stood up.

"So you're leaving this company to win back Molissa to you? is that your plan Daven?" I asked as I conclude my opinion is right.

"Bingo!" Daven pointed me and smiled evilly.

This person is crazy. If his sister is a damn cheater, then he was a fully loyal and faithful man to the wrong person.

RITAS'S POV

Woah.

My mouth curves at Owh as I watch those high buildings with each employee who went inside and out.

I'm just here because I wanted to try and accept the deal of Izonel Law Firm. Either than that, I wanted to expose and teach them what I've learned throughout.

I went outside in the taxi as grabbed my bags and documents. It was a sunny day and good weather for everyone.

A noisy place with beautiful surroundings, not bad at all. I've been in manila but didn't stay for too long.

My dad and mom usually visit manila, every time they had a business trip and occasion.

"Good morning ma'am," The guard greeted with a large smile on his face.

Mannered Employees (check!)

"Good morning also," I greeted back.

He's kinda thoughtful and really kind. So as the other employees here, they all smile when they saw me.

As I walk towards the receptionist area, the girls saw me walking and give me a simple smile.

Not bad.

" Good day ma'am, what can I help you?" the girl asks while her co receptionist is busy entertaining the other customers.

"Board meeting. Good day." I uttered.

She nodded and take a look at the computer before she put back her gaze on me.

"Are you, Rithea Aurora Buenvenco?" The girl asks.

"Yes," simply answered.

"Ma'am are you a lawyer, judge, or a prosecutor?" she then asks again. Still looking at me.

"Prosecutor, but for here I just wanted to see and hear the deal. Not to be a prosecution here, I just want to try to be a lawyer. Again," mumbled in a good way.

"You have the high-level ma'am, Im sure you can have the deal." The girl smiled.

I nodded and thanked her for the last time. This place really is different, respectful employees are a must. They all have it, at all.

The whole hallway is quiet, maybe they're in their individual offices. My eyes find the board meeting room until I finally saw it.

As I walk towards the double doors, one of the secretaries showed up in front of me.

She smiled.

"Ma'am, do you need anything?" The girl asks.

"Im here for the board meeting. Is the meeting started already?" I asked back.

"Oh! The meeting can't start without you, ma'am. Heres the way ma'am." Mumble in a smile.

"Thanks,"

We walked together until we reach the double glass doors. She opened it gently and turned her gaze on me as she led her hands on the open way.

"You may come in, ma'am." she led.

I nodded and walk slowly while holding my bag tightly as I fix my skirt and v neck long-sleeves.

When the door opened my eyes met the furious and dangerous-looking that I only saw 2 days ago.

He didn't change at all, except for his manly suit, and didn't expect him that his a lawyer.

It was such a coincidence, I thought he live near my mom's near the place. Thought that he was a bit stranger but look at him now.

Nothing changes, this isn't destiny, right? It's just a coincidence.
