On Monday morning, Sienna woke up early and dressed up in her black suit and white shirt before leaving. She arrived at the office building and she entered the elevator.

She and the other people in the elevator stood waiting for the elevator door to close when she saw someone running. "Please, stop the elevator!" Ethan yelled huffing.

Ethan had woken up early but the Lagos traffic got to him and his scooter broke down when he was close. It made him feel like his village people were out to get him. He had to run to get to the building on time.

Sienna stared at him blankly as the door were closing but she suddenly held it long enough for Ethan to slip in. She stepped to the side when Ethan entered wheezing.

Ethan raised his head and saw Sienna. "Thank you" He said trying to stop his cough and Sienna quietly nodded. The elevator stopped at the law firm floor and Sienna stepped out.

She didn't notice Ethan step out behind her asking for directions to the main office.

Some of the lawyers in the office were talking about something when Sienna entered the office and they all split up.

Sienna exchanged greetings with everyone there while Tiwa and Amaechi pushed Rotimi forward. Rotimi meekly followed Sienna and said, "you should have joined us yesterday Attorney Sienna."

Everyone waited to watch Sienna's reaction having put Rotimi to this. "I would have just bothered everyone there" Sienna said, dropping her bag on a table and looking through it.

She continued, not looking up at all, "you guys must have managed well in my absence so it isn't important."

Rotimi nodded meekly and everyone quickly continued their work when Sienna looked up.

Ethan met Mr. Olayinka outside and followed him inside missing Sienna who had entered her office and was greeted by her secretary.

"Good morning everyone, please come to the boardroom. I have an announcement to make" Mr. Olayinka said loudly and Sienna looked up.

She followed behind the rest of the lawyers as they headed for the boardroom. "I think Mr. Olayinka wants to introduce the new lawyer" Sharon said.

"I wonder how special he is for Mr. Olayinka to personally bring him in" An unnamed male lawyer whispered and Sienna looked curious for once.

They entered the boardroom and everyone sat down. Mr. Olayinka sat in the chair in front facing all the lawyers.

"I gathered you all to inform you we are having a new addition to the firm." Mr. Olayinka said, "I am sure you guys must have heard snippets of that so I will introduce the person now."

On cue, Ethan walked in and Sienna looked in recognition. The eyes of the ladies in the room-except Sienna-went dazed at his handsomeness and the men sneered distastefully at Ethan.

"This is Ethan Diribe, he will be our second defence criminal lawyer." Mr. Olayinka said and Sienna's eyebrow shot up.

"Good morning everyone, It is nice to meet you" Ethan calmly said and the ladies swooned even more. Ethan saw Sienna staring at him and he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"Oh my gosh."

"He is handsome."

"He has a nice voice." The women whispered to themselves and Sienna nearly rolled her eyes.
