Chapter 142

He knew she had a soft spot for him but ever since she had told him she loved him and he could not do anything about it because he was not in love with her.

Was he losing his touch , he looked at her sternly and said , if you are like this who would stand for me in court he asked or should be get a new lawyer she good her head and did not say anymore as the goo did not say a word they just came and pulled him to their van and she ran to her car.

She hit her head with her palm what was she thinking she just had one job , to tell him the damned truth but all she did was make her emotions get the best of her she picked her phone and called one of her young lawyers, his name was Steven and he was going to join her in court.

Hello Steven where are you die asked as she rubbed her hand against her nose as she sniffed.

Clearing her voice she pulled her face away from the 9hine so he would not know that something is wrong.

"Good morning ma "he said  I am at the courthouse presently.

"Okay I will join you in a minute", she said as she hung up the phone.

Steven was one of her brightest and also he ran errands she would not allow other of her junior employees to do , he was her own right hand and he had grown on her , he is bright and also hardworking something that reminded her of herself when she started and he did not mind the first time she had sent him on an errand which was unofficial and he has done it with so much decrum that impressed her.

And ever since she had become close to Stephen gay.

As she drove she heard her car beep and as she looked at the meter she found out she needed to get fuel and she was also close to the court  

She could not make up her mind to either go to the court first and afterwards get gasoline.

As she drove she monitored the meter occasionally and at the same time wanted the road, she needed to get this done and she did not want to stop half way to the court house , it would be a lot of trouble for her car to stop any where here , but she would just have to get a cab she assured herself.

She could see Stephen outside the court house now he was standing outside as she took the bend that led direct to the courthouse.

She was glad she had made it th8s far now , it did not matter if the car stopped or not she smiled a her stomach growled again , she needed to get something to eat she said to herself out loud.

As she parked the car and parked her files out of it ,Stephen walked down to meet her and he said you are late.
