"I don't think I want to handle this case Maya" Jade said.
"And why not Jade? base on your track record you're the best counsel to represent the accuser, not to mention this case is close to your heart."her friend defended.
" You know it's not the case." she thought for a moment.
" You're afraid to be able to come face to face to the great Alexander right? " Maya insisted.
"No its not only that, I'm also
worried that my previous identity will be exposed and there will be conflict of interest and you know I am not living only for my self alone I have also to protect the people who will be caught in the middle of all of these." she insisted.
"Well,its highly unlikely that he will personally attend to this case since he's a very busy man both in business and personal life, he has his own group of capable lawyer who are going to defend that good for nothing cousin of his. Its about time you get even with them with what they did to you eighth years ago."
" You're thinking along the line of revenge that will lead to a conflict of interest and I'm telling. you it's purely chaos and I don't want to open old wounds for mom's sake and dragging Lexie into it."
"Jade you couldn't refuse the case handed to you with out explanations. You've got no choice but accept it.
"And cross the bridge when I get there that's it?" huh what a pity. she thought.
"As she step in the conference room for their monthly meeting, she's still contemplating on handing the case to her colleagues. As the meeting progressed, she changes her mind as she thought for a moment because they are so many cases they are handing and she thought that maybe its about time she faces her own ghost. and settle the biggest mistake she made in her life and move on.
" Do you have anything to add Miss Ho?" Their boss called her attention.
"None boss."
"Well in that case that's all for this Monthl , looking forward for a fruitful next month, good luck and good evening everyone.
" Sheila I need this document photocopy two copies each, arrange a meeting to Miss Zyrine asap and I need all documents and research regarding her case on my table before the meeting. " she told her secretary she work very efficiently and thoroughly before going into the battlefield.
She opens the door of her two story house and a feeling of loneliness engulfed her, shrugging this she prepared for her diner and made a call to her mother, tomorrow she's excited for tomorrow.
