A Dream Life With You

Chapter 115: Her Lawyer?

Oscar dropped Victoria off at her office. Before letting her go inside, he told her to take care of herself and call him if anything happens. Victoria smiled helplessly and assured him that she will be alright. 

After greeting everyone, Victoria sat down at her chair and as soon as she saw the files, she got into her work mode. She was very determined about her work. Whether her life is good or bad, depressing or happy, she wouldn't glance back once at her life if it comes to her work. It can be said that work is her top priority. However, the truth was that in her subconscious, Oscar was just as important as work for her. 

There were some overly complicated cases. Some of them with lots of suspects but no definite. Lack of evidence always becomes her biggest headache but no matter the headaches, she was very well known for not letting the culprits walk out of court.

She was late for lunch. After getting Oscar's call, she saw the time. He was quite careful about her health and would get upset if she doesn't eat. Victoria wasn't in the mood to eat as work comes first for her but she didn't want to upset Oscar over something like that. So she was helpless and had to eat the food Oscar had ordered for her while Oscar kept a strict watch on her from the video call.

Later, they both got busy with work. One hour was left for work. At that time, Jan walked in and informed Victoria about an inspection she was going to do. It was a gang-related thing so Victoria told her to take some guys with her. After she went out, Victoria carefully looked over to file related to that case. The more she read it, the angrier she become and wanted to vent her frustration of not being able to decide who the suspect was somewhere. 

She went out for a walk but she couldn't get her mind off those things. Then she took out her car at the office and start driving it. When she passed by the lane leading to the place where the crime took place, she went there. That incident happened near a bar. It was surely connected to the bar. Though it was unlikely for the culprit to hang around this bar after that, Victoria still went inside that bar. She wasn't a fan of drinking. 

Anything that makes her weak and addicted was something she would hate no matter how good it might be. Even though she sometimes smokes Hookah, she hates it and knows that it makes her get addicted to it. That's why she never smoked alone. And since Oscar came into her life, he doesn't let her do anything that harms her body. 

She sat down at the counter and ordered her drinks. Before entering the bar, she took out her blazer and opened the top 2 buttons of her blouse. She opened her bun and her hair flowed down. To enter the bar, you need to look like that. Looking to decent won't get you in the bar.

Victoria was of course an out worldly beauty. Seeing her, others were getting attracted like bees. Some already started hitting on her but ignoring them with a cold gaze, she looked around the bar. They didn't know much about the culprit and that was the biggest problem. The bartender looked like a normal guy. Seeing her searching for someone, he asked.

" Are you searching for someone?" 

Hearing the bartender, Victoria looked back at him. Her eyes were still cold with a hidden madness in them. She was like a different person. Squinting her eyes coldly, she observed the bartender carefully. 

He didn't look like a person who would get into trouble. He seemed like he was in need of something. But this decent look can also be a devil's cover. She casually began asking him some questions in a roundabout way. She made him spill out when he started working and when his shift ends without letting him have the slightest idea. She played word games with him.

And no one can deny a lawyer's skills in that. Let alone a lawyer on the level of Victoria. Absolutely no one can deceive others or interrogate others like Victoria. The person being interrogated doesn't even know that they spill everything while she gets everything she wants.

After confirming that this bartender was not a bad guy and was only working because of his needs, she finally took out her phone and secretly showed him the photo of the victim as she asked.

" Did you see her here before?"

The bartender carefully looked over it and finally, shock filled his eyes.

" Ain't-Ain't this the one... "

" Shu... Just answer my questions truthfully if you don't want to get in trouble. I am not interested in complicating things. But if you hide anything, know that you can't escape my eyes."

The bartender looked scared and seemed like he didn't want to get involved with the mess. He tried to avoid her but her warning scared him. He asked his partner to take care of things as he was going out to smoke. Behind the bar, in the smoking area, he stood there smoking while Victoria stood in front of him with cold eyes.

" So... You want to know who took her?" 

" Yeah."

" That man comes to our bar once in a while. But after that incident, I noticed that he only comes when that girl comes to the bar. He was probably a stalker. He never came alone. Two or three guys always come with him. But since that incident, I didn't see him."

" Don't you have CCTV? Why didn't the police get it if he comes that much?"

 " I don't know what happened but the CCTV of those days disappeared. Whether it was hacked or an insider did it, I don't know. I don't want to get involved in this. Please don't bother me. I am already having a hard time with such jobs. I don't want to be involved in these things."

" If you really come to be of help, know that I won't ever let you get hurt. I don't let others get messed up unless they are the culprit."

" Who are you? Her lawyer?"

" Yeah."

" Don't bother me for that. Threatening and all. Go and ask the police!"

" You might regret saying that to me. Maybe you should know who I am before saying that."
