His secret

chapter 22

I'm seeing the sexiest sign in front of me, Kaiden wearing glasses

"since when do you need glasses" i ask him, his eyes shift from papers to me

"few years now, why" 

"looks good on you" it makes him age a little, makes him look good

"you like it?" he smirks and i roll my eyes

"anyway i have a question" i begin

"I'm listening"

"do people who work here know what you're doing? or why is it that they" i try to find a good word for it "fear you"

"no they don't, and they don't fear me they respect me"

"respect?"

"because when i opened this place, it was all me, without help, i worked hundreds of hours weekly, and now no matter what there's no questions on wither I'm getting job done, meaning winning or not, because the answer is always one, i always win, i have never lost a case"

"how much have you had and won" i ask him

"130"

"what! how is that even possible"

"i would take few cases at the same time" then that's not as unopposable as i thought but winning all of them?

"don't you have to be in court at 3?" i ask him

"The judge declared a mistrial" i nod "but i need you and your psychology student brain right now, so follow me"

i follow him "where are we going?' i ask

"to a witness, she's calming she doesn't know anything and even though i know that's a bullshit, i need a another persons approval, so got that  psychology knowledge and tell me what's up with her" i nod and follow him

after a little we went into a house where we saw a woman, she took us in and we sat inside of her house

"Jenna, we understand this must be difficult for you," Kaiden said, his tone measured but firm. "But we need to clarify some things that came up during the trial. Can you explain why your accounts of certain events differ from what others have testified?" Jenna shifted uncomfortably in her seat,

 "I... I didn't want to get involved," she admits but from what i can guess from it's late for that "i did what i could help with"

"We can protect you, Jenna. But we need the truth." Kaiden's voice is cold, he has no sympathy for this woman

"i don't need protection, i told you i wasn't the person Anika saw last, she went to her lovers house"

"what's the name of the lover of hers" i question

"i don't know" she says while avoiding eye contact

"one more question, do you have tics" now i ask, she looks at me confused and shook her head

"no, i don't" i nod "why would you ask"

"just curious" i can't tell her real reason why

"wait i just realized, you said lovers as in multiple or am i wrong?" i question, i don't know why but i always listen closely, i don't like missing out even on a one letter

she once again clings her jaw but you can't lie to true emotions, she blushes a little

"answer miss Jenna" we hear Kaiden say

"i don't think that's a propriate question i-" she was cut off

"the woman is dead, it's okay" my eyes widened on what he said
