RITA'S POV 

Our eyes met and explode with sparkles in each part of it. His main body and furious eyes directly fix on my side.

The feeling of awkwardness is eating my body. I shooked my head in the invisible and cursed inside of my mind.

"Goodmorning," as I felt the realization all the slow-motion became faster.

"Whoa! I didn't know you're that beautiful!" A man beside the not-so-old lady uttered.

"Thanks for the compliment. Should we start the meeting?" ask in a normal voice.

"Oh! sure sure sure,"

Someone give me a chair and pulled it backward so I can sit. Only a smile I could give him and nothing else.

Aki was in front of me reading some documents while they were someone speaking in the front. I took out all the documents they gave me and pile them on their pages on the table.

They were all watching on me the way pile those documents like finding a suspect in a crime.

Amp...not bad, Im just doing the basic reading of documents that I know.

Am I weird?

"So you're saying that to close the case you should've to deal with the suspect?" Furious questions.

"Yes, but it still depends on the clients if they wanted to won then why don't we do dirt, when they do dirt too," He answered.

"Why are you a lawyer, by the way?" I ask and pick up the documents one by one.

"Pardon?" the man asked in confusion.

I smiled and closed the folder before turning my gaze on him.

"You have principles and dignity when you entered the law firm, don't you? Of course, it's a yes for you. One basic question should lawyer like you can answer easily and basically on time." I paused as his eyes darkened.

Our co-lawyers were watching on me as I deal with the meeting and my question towards the man Im facing right now.

"Dirt? Do you want to do dirt if you found out that the other side put some dirt on your client? If you want to win, then win in the right way. Sometimes, you don't know who is the right one and the wrong one. Don't just defend your client from the accusation of the other side, Attorney Sandoval. Even lawyers were criminals, pin that in your mind."

The whole room becomes quiet as I finished my speech and explained everything I've said.

"How can you say that when you're just a newbie in this firm. Ohh, are you in this firm or you're here because you wanted to have some knowledge on how to become a lawyer." Someone joined the conversation.

The nerve of this girl!

This girl didn't know who the fuck I am..well let me introduce myself to her.

"Your thoughts and conclusions. It's too different from the true reasons," I uttered as my hand played with the black ballpen.

"You're just a newbie, so do---,"

"Im not a newbie, if your boss or co-lawyers didn't tell you about me. Then shut the fuck up," My mouth interrupted her words.

She looked so pissed off and so am I to her.

"How dare a newbie like y---,"

"Attorney Pirrel, Im a prosecutor who owned a Law firm in Japan so do not tell me what Im going to do and say. If the owner of this firm didn't ask for my presence in here, I wouldn't com here." I yelp in a nice way though it has a bit of insult.

Her eyes were shocked as she looks at me with embarrassment. Good for her, she already gets what she wanted to have.

"Oh my god!?" others shouted together as they heard what I've just said.

Confirming that Im a prosecutor isn't in my mind. It's just that, there's a girl who triggered my silence and calmness inside.

"You are Prosecutor Rithea Aurora Buenvenco?" They asked full of shock on their faces.

Tsk... Overacting people...

"Yes, now let's get back to the topic," I commanded and the meeting started again.

The old Izonel is focused on listening to the lawyer who is now talking in front. Everyone remained quiet after the hot questions and answers we've done, lately.

That girl deserves what she got by me. She should be respectful to everyone. Especially when she didn't even know yet who she was talking to.

The meeting went smooth and was full of thoughts and knowledge to hear and can be applied in a real life.

It was all a great day ahead after the meeting but the employee's eyes and minds were all angry and triggered.

"Prosecutor Buenvenco," the owner of the firm called.

"Attorney is fine for me Uncle. In fact, im here to start again as low-class lawyer and that's basically what I want right now," I answer.

"You're just like your father, Aurora. So I won't be shocked if he envies you so much, same to your mom." Uncle uttered and tap my shoulder.

"Thank you, well dad was busy with the new launching of his newly Law Firm in Korea. So I accept the offer you gave Uncle, not bad at all." mumbled in calm while giving him a wide smile on my lips.

Reasons why I accept his offer. He's one of the good lawyers who knew about dignity and principles in life. That's how I wanted to be before, and now I have it all.

"Aurora, we will expect you to come on the lunch. Is that okay with you?" Auntie Emilla uttered and held my hands.

"Auntie of course I can come. The only problem is I didn't bring my car. I'll buy one when I get free time or maybe tomorrow." that wasn't I lie.

I really don't have a car right now because I choose to leave it in Mom's house. There, they'll be using it every time Ellah has an event to come.

"No no no it's fine! My son Aki will drive you to the restaurant. Aki!" Auntie shouted as she called her son's name.

That wasn't a bad idea, but it felt so wrong to be with that boy. Is this meant to be? destined or what y'all called it?

Forever....??

"Hey, mom, what is it?" Aki asks when he is finally closer to us.

"I want you to go with Aurora 'til you reach the restaurant. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure, Amara will be joining too."

"That's great!"

After their talk, Aki led the way to the parking lot. He told me to stay in the midway of the exit, he'll be the one who'll get his car.

His car stop in front of me revealing the door opened in the backseat.

I went inside and close the door gently. There was another girl beside him and she was busy looking at her phone.

Is this his girlfriend? yea, it is.

"We can go, im all fixed," I informed him and he starts the car and drove away from the parking lot.

My hands took out those documents that Uncle gave me the last time we saw each other in Romblon.

He gave me a bunch of folders and it was all full of new cases that they received this month.

The whole trip is fine. Amara is talking to Aki and meanwhile, they were laughing about something. They were busy talking while Im busy reading those cases.

When the car stops already, I arranged those folders and opened the door by myself.

Im, sure he'll open the door only for Amara and not for me. As I walk by the doubles glass doors, a guard showed up and greeted me with a good day.

That felt me so relax. Thanks to that guard.

This is a model and modern restaurant. High class and full of riches people who are in here. Eating their expensive foods and quality time with their co rich friends.

Im not into this kind of celebration but Auntie was the one who invited me and offered to eat lunch with them.

"Aurora!" A loud voice catches my ears.

When I turned my eyes to the person who called me. It was Aki's mother standing in front of the table waving her hands.

Uncle was with them too so was Aki's sister whos a high-class lawyer too and with her husband.

Shocks... they were all taken, even their youngest son already had a girlfriend. Woah.
