Marrying the son of Asraf 2

🌸Twenty ~4🌸

Summayyah arrived at the law firm at exactly 10. She hurriedly got out of the car and ran into the building, taking an elevator to the third floor.

She had told Rukayyah about it in case Faruq comes over and she isn't around so she promised not to stay long, only and only if she doesn't get assigned a new case.

The elevator stopped at her floor as she walked out, being greeted by the workers before entering the meeting room. Everyone turned and grinned at her.

There were a total of six people who are civil lawyers like she is, but they hardly work on criminal cases concerning murder and attempted murder, robbery and theft. They mostly work on, divorce, Domestic violence and others of that calibre.

"Right on time, boss lady!" Eric jested, waving at her.

"It's good you were able to make it!" Daniel said as she nodded before taking a seat.

"It's a pleasure having us today, i will like to hear your briefing on your lawsuit and what the court decides, Mrs Summayyah!" The Ceo Natasha asked, calmly and politely.

Summayyah sat up straight as she began to elucidate them on the matters they faced and all that happened in the court.

Mr Hamza inhales sharply, dropping his pen. "That asshole needs to be sentenced to life in prison, jerk like him!" He curses.

"Mr Hamza, you might want to watch your tongue!" Hadiza warned him, but he turned against her. "What do you mean? Huh? That guy was being so foolish. If I had taken this case I would have sentenced him to death differently!" He brags.

Summayyah chucked.

"Thank God you didn't, you would have had us resign asap!" Eric mutters, glaring at him. The meeting lasted for about 45 minutes, probably asking everyone how their cases had gone far and only Hadiza and Hamza who haven't had any cases so far, so Ceo Natasha asked them to meet her in her office after the meeting. She has couples she wants them to consult.

"What!?" They both yelled out, stunned. She wondered why they were surprised. Consulting is not such a big deal but it turned out that they reacted because they hate walking together.

"Alright. That's for today!" The Ceo announced and they all packed up their belongings and scuttled to their various offices. On the way, Eric called out to her and she turned immediately.

"Em. I... I heard your son has been admitted to the hospital!" He said, trying to sympathise with her.

"Oh and where did you hear it from?" She asked, curiously because she didn't remember telling anyone until it occurred to her that she had texted Ceo Natasha last night before she went to sleep.

She sighed, massaging her forehead, hiding her embarrassment. "Yes Eric. Thank you so much. He is so much better when i left him!"

"Alright keep the hard work ma'am!" He held out a tight fist,  to keep firm. She nodded and returned to her office. Taking a seat, she rested her back on it slightly as she spins around slowly. She's been having body aches Recently. So after she turns in her reports, she will go back to the hospital and maybe get checked.

A beep came from her phone as she quickly checked it. There were three text messages from Maimuna.

Assalamu alaikum. Aunty inna wuni, ya gaji ya kokkari. I want to use this medium to appreciate you for speaking your time regardless of how busy you might be, raising your son and other matters. Please allow me to thank you much better . Nagode sosai! Allah ya biyaki.

She read the three messages together as a small smile curled up her lip. She texted back. 

Ameen Maimuna, you don't need to worry, I did it all for the sale of Allah, may he bless us all. Ameen
