Law Of Attraction

Ch.12

Monday morning Candace wakes up in a pretty good mood. The weekend was great and she is feeling great. She got Amanda to school on time and is headed into work 10 minutes early.

"Good morning Ms. Flynn '' Kevin greets as she entered the office.

"Ms. Flynn? What's with the formalities?" She asks, chuckling.

Kevin rolls his eyes. "We're training a new guy today so we have to be 'professional'. Newbies have to be here atleast a week before they find out we don't really give a fuck" he says nonchalantly causing Candace to laugh.

"Well alright Mr..wait what's your last name?"

"Oh, that rule doesn't apply to me. To everyone I'm just Kevin."

"Well okay just Kevin I'm gonna go do my job now"

"That's probably a good idea."

"Yeah"

Candace settles in and gets started on the domestic case which will be going to trial this following week. About an hour later Jenny comes into her office smiling like an idiot.

"Hey Candace, did you see the new guy?"

Candace raises an eyebrow.

"Well considering I've been buried in paperwork for the past hour I can say I have not."

"Well all I can say is this job keeps getting better and better. First Mr. Johnson with his stoic hotness and now Ben who is so hot" she says fanning herself.

He can't be hotter than Jeremy
She thinks to herself.

"Well I'm sure I'll meet him later. Now go do your job, be professional and don't scare the poor guy away"

Jenny rolls her eyes and says "no promises. " before shutting the door behind her.

Candace shakes her head. She thought working at a law firm would be boring...boy was she wrong. Later around noon Candace finally gets up from her desk stretching her stiff legs and leaves her office. She is met with Kevin Leo and Jenny about to leave.

"Hey Candace we're gonna go out to lunch you wanna come?"

Candace shakes her head

"No thanks guys I brought lunch from home"

"Alright, we'll see you later!"

Candace goes into the break room and is startled by a man sitting at the break table.

"Oh! God" she says, jumping a bit.

The man put his hands up In Defense.

"Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you"

Candace puts her hand over her heart.

"No. No it's okay-" then her eyes widened. "Ben?"

He smiles brightly. "Candace! I didn't know you worked here!" He gets up from his chair and pulls her into a big hug and he smells AmAZING.

Ben was in the same internship team as her when she was interning at another law office almost a year ago. He is super nice and Jenny was right he does look good. He has bright green eyes and sandy brown wavy hair. His nose is littered with freckles and his jawline can cut a lemon. All the girls at the place she Interned liked him but he had a girlfriend. Candace was the only one who didn't flirt with him 24/7 so they got pretty close.

"You look great!" He says holding her at arms length and looks her over causing her to blush.

"Thanks so do you! I didn't know you were coming here"
