Giovanni leaned back into his chair seated behind a mahogany desk and furrowed his brow as he listened to his client's incessant ramblings. Frustration welled up within him, evident in the subtle clenching of his jaw and the tightening of his grip on his pen. Despite his best efforts to guide the conversation towards the relevant legal matters, the client seemed determined to veer off course, drowning the lawyer in a sea of irrelevant details. With each passing moment, the lawyer's patience wore thin.
"Mrs.Cartier" He took a breath before fully interrupting the middle aged woman's prolonged speech "In order for us to get anywhere with this lawsuit you have to talk about your case and your case only. I'm sure your husband isn't cheating on you."
"Oh dear" She nervously laughed "I'm sorry for getting off track it's been a crazy week."
"How about we pick this back up tomorrow? Clear your mind huh?" He suggested.
The woman agreed before slowly getting up and packing up her belongings "I'll see you tomorrow at the same time then Mr.Santo's"
He gave her a tight lipped smile while walking her out his office. Once the door was shut he let out a groan filled with annoyance "Can't stand that bitch" Giovanni retreated back to his desk and tapped his fingers again the wooden material. His next client wasn't for another hour or so, meaning he had some downtime to waste.
The next thing Giovanni knew he sat hunched over his computer, fingers dancing across the keyboard as he delved into the depths of social media platforms. He scoured Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, searching for any trace of Oaklyn's digital footprint. Each click, each scroll, brought him closer to understanding the woman who had become the focal point of his thoughts.
Photos emerged, like snapshots of her existence frozen in time. Giovanni analyzed them with a mix of fascination and yearning.
