He watched as Elijah scrambled around, putting the sheaf of papers that had fallen in a black binder that had the logo of Bind Pharmaceuticals.

"You're confident we'll win?" Abdullah heard himself ask Elijah, though he felt nothing like failure, it didn't bode well to be over confident. A healthy dose of confidence and self awareness was the recipe for success.

"By God's grace sir. It should be a breezy win for us. And I spoke to the lawyers yesterday evening, they were optimistic. And we didn't show off the evidence of our former employee meeting up with their Nigerian CEO. We'll do that today." Abdullah nodded, a subtle feeling of ease came over his body and he leaned over to pick up his phone that had been placed on the table when he arrived.

Soon, they left the warm apartments and walked all the way to the carpark where the driver was waiting. From there, they were driven in a warm car to the main world headquarters of Henny Penn foods and pharmaceuticals, they went through the first few security checks, he watched as Elijah rolled his eyes to the high heavens many times in annoyance.

They soon reached the glass complex of the company, but his phone dinged as the driver stopped and someone from the driveway opened the door to Abdullah's side.

He got out, adjusted his coat before he pulled out his sleek phone from his pocket. It was a picture from his wife, he swiped both pictures that had been sent and swiped his thumb of the sun streaked picture of her hijab covered head. In a few swipes, he turned the very picture to his screensaver.

It felt so thrilling, to be able to do something so simple. He knew how it felt when Maymunatu turned a picture she had taken of him unaware as her screensaver, now the thrilling satisfaction was his to feel and he almost didn't know what to make of it.

He watched as Elijah carried the huge basket that had all the paperwork and files upon files and binders to where Abdullah and the rest of the team was waiting. They'd been talking amongst themselves without disturbing him and needing him for anything.

When Elijah pulled up the ramp handle of the huge basket and began pulling it through the main revolving doors of the organization. There were about three receptionists waiting to take them through to a new conference room since a Judge had now been invited. The case was going to be settled out of court but with a little twist, the proceedings were still recorded by a court clerk.

When they reached the conference room, their own french and German speaker, a Nigerian woman schooling at a university in Zurich. Abdullah had warned Elijah against using the court accorded interpreters for the proceedings as anyone could be bribed.

Once they got in, sat down, someone from the Bind Pharmaceuticals team passed round bottles of water they bought at a supermarket on their way there but not a sip of the water was to be taken, as they could be cornered in the toilets.

Elijah and a lawyer passed around nine translation headsets to the others who did not speak any language asides English. Abdullah took a look at the headset when he received it and placed it on the table.

The proceedings began a few minutes later when the judges and the court clerk walked in, being the high profile case that it was, Henny Penn headquarters decided to settle out of court, but also make sure the press didn't get a whiff of the proceedings. It was one of the things Bind Pharmaceuticals held over their heads and led to them making everything easy.
