Chapter 4: Status: It's Complicated

---

With an expressionless face, Zielo cleared his table in the court room while his Client is waiting for him.

A guy whom he knew pretty well, walked towards him. "What a really interesting case Attorney Ciervo." nakangiti nitong sambit.

Zielo could only cocked his Head at the guy. "What are you doing here, Callum?"

Callum chuckled. "What? is it bad to visit my dear friend?"

Attorney Callum Yañez, the son of the Viscount and his dear friend. They grew up on the same circle and went to the same law school.

"At this time, yeah" Zielo tsked.

Yong client nya nagpaalam na maunang aalis, na ikinatango lang ni Zielo.

"So, harsh." Callum pouted. "The truth is I need help in one of the case I'm working at. I was hoping you'd help me."

Zielo brow fussed. "And what makes you say that I'll help you?"

"Gut feeling?" Callum shrugged.

Nang maayos ni Zielo ang gamit ay agad nyang kinuha ang briefcase na dala saka humarap sa kaibigan. "Then your gut is wrong. I have somewhere to be."

Callum frowned. "What? your secretary said you have no remaining appointments today."

Zielo shrugged. "Yeah, but personal appointments Yes." sambit nya sa kaibigan saka naglakad palabas ng court house.

Attorney Callum followed him.

Pagkalabas ng pagkalabas ni Zielo ng Court house ay agad nyang kinuha ang phone para tawagan si Mal na agad naman nitong sinagot.

"Doctor Ledesma speaking!"

"Have Lunch with me I'll pick you up."

Natahimik ang kabilang linya.

"Mal" tawag ni Zielo sa kanya.

"Do I have other choice?" tanong ng dalaga na ikinatawa ni Zielo.

"No, Are you in the clinic?"

"Yeah, I'm finishing my charts."

Zielo smiled. "Great! I'll see you in 30."

"Yeah yeah Whatever." Zielo could picture out Mal rolling her eyes at him at this moment.

Nagpatayin nya ang tawag ay makahulugang ngumiti sa kanya si Callum na ngayon ay nasa harap na nya. Mukhang pinakikinggan nito ang tawag na ginawa nya.

"oh! that's why. You have someone special!" Sambit ni Callum, he saw the soft expression on Zielo's face habang kausap nito ang dalaga. "Who's that lucky woman?"

Zielo tsked. "It's not of your business." tanging sambit ni Zeilo sa kaibigan bago naglakad sa sasakyan nya ngunit ng pindutin nya ang unlock ng sasakyan nya ay agad na tumakbo si Callum papuntang passenger seat saka prenteng umupo doon.

Tinignan ni Zielo ng masama ang kaibigan ng makasakay sya ng sasakyan nya. "Out! I'm not playing with you."

Callum just shrugged and put his seatbelts in. "who says I'm playing. I'm coming with you and you can't make me leave dear friend. I wanna have lunch too."

Zielo tsked. "Go have lunch somewhere else! or rather go and bug your bulter!"

But Callum remained in his seat and Zielo had no choice but to stop himself from kicking his friend out.
