[SEASON FINALE]
KAT
I was tired when I got home from work. I knocked off at 19:00 and arrived home at 19:50. Taxis get full fast late at night because almost everyone is knocking off
Or has knocked off later.. Thabiso was long prepared for today's mid week church service. He is a very spiritual person and I have joined his church, I like his church. I enjoy being there, It has brought me so much peace. Unexplainable peace.. I put my bag on the bed..
Thabiso: You look tired
Me: I am
Thabiso: Guess you won't be joining me tonight
Me: I can't miss tonight's service, it's a prayer session
Thabiso: I don't want you passing out
Me: I won't.. I promise
He kissed me on the cheek...
Thabiso: I'll boil water for you
Me: Thank you very much
SIBA
Neo walked in.. I was preparing dinner..
Neo: Good evening
Me: Hey Hun
Neo: You preparing dinner?
Me: Yes
Neo: Where is Pat?
Me: Pat is resting
Neo: You should've called I would've brought dinner
Me: Why? You don't like my cooking?
Neo: I love your cooking and it seems like you only satisfy one person
Me: Huh?
Neo: Babe your cooking is led by your cravings
Me: I am offended!
Neo: I know and I'm sorry but it's the truth, you make everything spicy.. Go easy on the hot sauce
Me: I can't believe you just said that, that's very offensive
Neo: I'm sorry
Me: Do you know for how long I have been standing?
Neo: Well I love you so when you love someone you take them with their everything
Me: Yeah whatever
He laughed..
Me: How was work?
Neo: Work was good
Me: Won the case?
Neo: Well you can say that
Me: Tomorrow I'll bring you lunch at work
Neo: As much as that seems like a good idea but, I just started at this job and I have to prove myself. Can't have you around it'll be a distraction
Me: I understand
Neo: Let's give it a few more weeks before we can do work visits
Me: Okay hun
Neo: So Lorraine was here?
Me: Yes she was
Neo: She doesn't give up!
Me: I don't trust her
Neo: I don't trust her too.. I'll tell her to stop coming
Me: Thank you
Neo: Let me go and shower so we can eat dinner
Me: Okay
LORRAINE
I was attending a late meeting at the firm and our senior Partners were threatening to leave the firm, unless I bring back Neo..
Thobeka: Lorraine everyone can see that Razor is up to no good. All his cases, the witnesses turn up dead or evidence mysteriously disappears. It's not rocket science that he's playing dirty, now I know we do play dirty at times but this is insane. The firm is being investigated, he has tarnished the Marè name and we unfortunately cannot be associated with such.. I'm sorry but our reputations are at stake here, we haven't signed new clients in a long time and all our existing clients want Neo. No one but Neo
Me: Razor is a good Lawyer, he went to the best school
Lukhele: Going to the best school doesn't make you a good lawyer. When you in the field that's what makes you a good lawyer. If you don't bring back Neo then we are leaving, you will all of us and you will be forced to shut down
Bloom: We have already voted him out, so tomorrow first thing in the morning you will have to force him to resign
Thobeka: It's for the best
MAHLODI
Mom: I was thinking
Me: Yes?
Mom: The Marè firm is going down. Now rumor has it that senior partners are going to pull out, the firm will go bankrupt.. Lorraine will be forced to sell and we can buy it, turn it around
Me: Ma.. This is beyond spiting Lorraine. This is Neo's legacy
Mom: I don't care! All I care about is that I want that firm! And you will make sure that I get that firm! Don't tell me about Neo!
KAT
My phone rang as Thabiso and I were walking to church, it was Aunty Jojo. I sighed and answered..
Me: Aunty Jojo
Jojo: You have to come back home
Me: That's not going to happen
Jojo: Your mother needs you
Me: My mother treated me shit! My Mother is not a good person, she's a manipulative and vindictive woman. I don't want anything to do with her, worse she's not even apologetic about everything. She doesn't want to change
Jojo: It doesn't matter! At the end of the day she is still your mother! She needs you and you better come back
Me: I'm not coming back I'm happy where I am
Jojo: Cohabitation is not an achievement
Me: It's not an achievement but it's peaceful and I'm happy! More happier than I was when I was still back at home.. Whatever Mom is going through she brought it to herself!
I hung up..
LORRAINE
I got to my car and called Razor. I explained to him that he has to resign, if he doesn't resign I was going to lose my firm..
Razor: I am not resigning
Me: You have too
Razor: If they want to leave, let them leave! I am winning cases on my own
Me: You not winning cases you playing dirty and that's not good for the image of this firm
Razor: Tomorrow morning you are going to vote for me to stay, you have the biggest vote. You are the major shareholder, and you are going to vote for me! Let them leave!
