"I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man"
The Man - Taylor Swift

"You know, I always thought you wouldn't become a lawyer and the CEO of your family's company." I heard Elliot talking while I was reading my notes from class.
"What?" I asked not understanding why he would say that.
"Yeah like, out of nowhere you decide to take on all this responsibility, I think it would be for the best if your brother done that." I listened to what he says thinking he's probably got a point. "Being a CEO of a company is a big deal doll."
"I know it is babe, but dad gave me an ultimatum not Aiden, so I guess this is what I have to do. For at least to have some kind of power in the company." 
"I hate your dad sometimes. You are smart, but like Aiden would be a better fit for at least to be the face of the business." 
"I really don't know, maybe it's better like th..." I didn't finish my words because he talks over me.
"You know I'm right doll, just face it."
~ Today ~
I arrived at the company going straight to my office, I have an early meeting with this client about her wanting all rights to the technology from her ex-husband's company, since she created everything.
I mean, I don't even know why to do this. She created the tech, she's the owner basic shit. But I've should've predict that the ex-husband would make a fuss about this and honestly is even better to know who is he's lawyer. 
It's so his type to take a case like this, the dude doesn't even try to hide that he loves losing to me. You have to do it better Vittorio.
I enter my office seeing Amanda Richards already waiting for me. "Mrs. Richards, glad to see you here."
"Oh please call me Amanda, I'm not married to that bastard anymore."
"Ah yes, pardon me Amanda." I seat on my chair behind the desk, grabbing the files from the drawer. "So about what I gathered, your ex-husband doesn't have a strong case to be honest. But like I already told you, the judge can take sides with him since without the technology the company will fall apart. That's why I still believe is better for you to try gain full control on the shares and you'll own the tech and the company."
