Jade reach the restaurant earlier by five minutes, she ordered for something to drink and search on her phone while waiting for her client, normally she wouldn"t advise a meeting outside of the office when handling cases like this but she also need to test her client emotional strength if she"s fit to face people around and the various setting that might come up during the course of the trial, she is already a.s.signed someone to follow Miss Zyrine conspicuously to protect her and prevent from being hara.s.s. She"s very careful of handling this case because of her personal experience . She make sure that no innocent lives will be wasted because of someone who s unable to control their animal instinct and place their head where its suppose to be.
" Miss Ho? what are you doing here?" she raise her head and recognized her previous client whom she successfully won the case before.
"Mr. Blare how are you? I"m meeting someone here, how about you? you look great, long time no see.". "I"m treating a friend to a lunch. Let me introduce you... he just returned a week ago from abroad we had a chance meeting so I invited him here." as he turn to his friend.
"h.e.l.lo Miss Ho, we meet again." Zander said casually with a smile.
"You Know each other?" Mr Blare ask.
"She is handling the opponent on Josh case." he replied, and there is that stare that baffled her.
" h.e.l.lo Mr. Chen." she replied flatly.
" I"m telling you Zander she is not an easy opponent, better be on her good side" Mr Blare said teasingly.
"Can"t help it John." smilingly he replied. as the waiter approach them to usher them to their table.
" See you around Miss Ho" as they both waved at her.
" Is that CEO Chen?" Zyrine ask as she sat opposite Jade.
"What does he want?"
" He"s here having lunch With a friend. Actually I ask you to meet to discuss about your lawsuit against that company, but first let"s order as she signal the waiter." So after the meeting with client and discuss the arrangement. she immediately called her a.s.sistant to set a meeting with the representative of the Gems company , she doesn"t want to have personal contact with the CEO himself, she couldn"t understand why, he seem like he doesn"t know her, but very much disturbed with the way he looks at her, no anger, no negative reaction seem to emanate from him that was present in their last confrontation. as well as the feelings seems like to tell he is interested in her. as if he totally unaware of the things had happened eight years ago.
As she walked her her client to her car they were accosted by no other than the most evil minded Josh Chen. "Zyrine you b.i.t.c.h what do hope to squeese out of this lawsuit no one will believe you.its your word against mine with my family"s connection I will crushed you. you will...."he came screaming.
"Hold it right there Mr. Chen you"re not suppose to no near my client or you want to increase the charges against you."
He turn to her , his anger turned to recognition and bewilderment. "and who... Carah?"
"I am her lawyer and if you don"t want an additon on your charges you stay away from her."
"What"s going on here weren"t you advise to stay away from Miss Zyrine." Zander said angrily to his cousin.
" Zander... I was just trying to appeal to her... Josh replied looking nervuos.If you have any concerns regarding the lawsuit, talked to your lawyer do not ,I repeat do not approach my client."she demanded trying to end the confrontation as soon as possible.
" but... aren"t you"re just staging a revenge ?"
"What do think? for once use you"re brain instead of just your head." and she stare at the crotch of his pants. leaving the men bewildered as to what she meant. And quickly ushered her client to climb in the car. As she drove her car away from the scene. she made a phone call to her escort to follow Zyrine"s car.
"What was than all about? Zander asks.
"Nothing couz. We just know each other from before. Josh evade the issue
" She is surprised with Zander"s reaction as if ,,, she made a phone call " Jeff I want you to give me info on the CEO of the Gems Corp from eight years before up to the presrent. Yes Alexander Chen, Ok, thank you." as she reach home her phone rang, " h.e.l.lo mom, what"s up ? I was about to call , everything okay?.
Its Lexie, she"s having trantrums. I"m afraid she won"t be able to march on Sat.u.r.day she misses you, " her mother reported.
" Let me speak to her... h.e.l.lo sweetheart how are you?
"Mama when are you coming to fetch us I miss you" sadly told her as she began to sob.
"Do you want mama to come and get you? OK I will , if you will be good and do you best to be aunty Lou"s pretty flower girl and mama"s little princess." she sooth the voice from the other end.
"You"re coming ! yehey! I"ll be good promise. I love you mama."
