"I think you should go."
A wave of disappointment washed over me at his words. He couldn't even say my name? Is this what we had come to?

I've never doubted how unpredictable my life can get. And tonight? It's one of those nights when things have changed beyond my imagination. Like a complete three-sixty degree. Okay...it might sound like I'm exaggerating. But I'm not. Not at all.

"You bet it is, Mr CEO," I whispered in his ear, standing up and grabbing my purse.
I smirked as his eyes widened and he looked at me astonished, " I'm a soon-to-be lawyer, I know what's going around me. Moreover, what kind of a lawyer would I be if I couldn't connect the dots?"

"Mom, where's Dad?" I skipped down the stairs in searching for Papa.
My mom started working as an assistant in a nearby law firm last week. Even though she was overqualified for the job, and despite Papa disliking her work as the assistant, she did take the job.
