"What about the picture?" I ask Scott before the hearing.

I hope he found a solution.

"Don't worry. That won't bother us.

You know me. We played as there is not completely shown which deal you are signing.

So, they can't specifically acusse you because there is no main evidence." He smiles.

"Great. So the picture is useless?" I smile at him.

"Well, for now. They could study it closer but if i put it off the table, they won't.

As long as I'm persuasive, we should be fine."

"You are always persuasive." I grin at him.

"Didn't want to brag here but yes. I am. I will beat that little kid." He nods.

-

I look at Gray sitting at his desk. He looks stressed.

Glancing at me once in a while. I'm not saying he's a bad lawyer but he is still a beginner.

He should start with cases he can actually win.

Because he's not winning mine.

I kind of feel bad that he won't.

"Mr. Gray, can you start with your questioning?" They judge says.

"Yes, of course."

I watch him walk over to me. His slim figure a smaller height.

Hazel eyes and soft pink lips.

His mouth moving and eyelashes bashing.

He asks me couple of questions but i don't give him much space.

It's almost like he knows he has lost. And he did.

-

After hour and half, the judge find me innocent.

Obviously. I was supposed to be free in the beginning. They don't have evidence.

I destroyed it.

And the evidence they have, we made sure to cover up.

We always cover it up.

Then again, it's not about the knowledge but the money you have.

I have a lot of those.

Gray wanted another hearing but I manage to get the board on my side through my friends.

Then when you have the board, the judge is easily influenced.

It was easy. But my nerves were still on ease.

From now on I should stop with the shadiness a bit. Slow down.

And when i continue, I will triple check my clients.

No more idiots stabbing me in the back.

-

Scott hugs me as he exchanges some words.

I put my whole trust in him. And he's waiting for that fat check.

I tell him to leave earlier without me.

Gray is talking to Finnegan. Bastard. I must be careful who I'm making deals with.

He doesn't look mad at him but rather at me, as he flashes me a disgusted look.

"Wilson, congratulations. Even thought we both know you took my money." Finnegan gives me his hand to shake.

"If you are so sure , you would have won the case." I shake it.

He squeezes it. "Not every winner is called one. I won what i needed to." He smiles.

"Maybe pick a better lawyer next time." I look at Gray.

He looks hurt. But he wasn't the nicest to me either.

"No. My lawyer was good. But it's hard to cook meal without the ingredients.

I wonder how much money you payed your people to destroy the evidences."

"Enough to still be a millionaire." I smirk, " don't pretend like you are broke, Finnegan.

We both know you have a lot. And who knows what shady things YOU do."

"Excuse me? Are you accusing me?"

"Why? Do you want another trial? But MY lawyer would beat your ass in a heart beat."

"Enjoy the public humiliation. I make sure to give an interview to every magazine i know.

Even for free." He smiles at me, "goodbye"

I frown as I watch him leave.

"You are in a no place to call me a bad lawyer.

You are only sitting on your money and throw it around.

I worked hard on this everyday. Tried to find every evidence.

You don't even know what it's like to lose a case.

Well, enjoy the money you stole. I will wish some other people can give a job now, you hero."

Gray shakes his head and walks away.

"Do you want me to drive you home?"

"Fuck you!" He yells in the hall as he walks away.

Couple of people turning to us.
