Rebecca was radiant. She had just won one more important case. The 23 years old woman was already a well-known lawyer in New York and was greatly feared by her opponents.

She never accepted cases that could harm someone, therefore, there was no point in looking for her to deffend someone who was guilty, she refused to accept it, as her principles didn't allow her to do that.

This made her one of the brightest young lawyers in New York City. Professionally, her life was on a meteoric rise. She was rich and beautiful. She could have anyone, men or women at her feet, but unfortunately life doesn't give us everything for free, what was left for the thai/british girl in professional  matters - which  was a perfect success, or even financial matters, she was lacking in her personal life.

Becky was always a sweet girl, her education was something out of the extraordinary. She was always a feisty girl, with a heart of gold. Always concerned about others, helping  anyone in need without worring about what she's get in return.

The thai/british girl had an older brother, Richie, who she loved very much and they were really close and supportive.

Richie, at 26 years old, was already a well succeeded businessman, CEO of his own company, Armstrong's Enterprises, in the pharmacy sector.

The siblings were raised in a healthy and loving environment. Their parents, Rawee and Richard always supported them in everything and taught them to always be good people, no matter what happens.

Rebecca had everything to be happy, but the girl was only half happy, as there was a lack of a great love in her life. She fell in love a few times, but nothing very serious, which was a good thing, since many people approached her for her looks, fame or her money.

"Becky, let's go!" Her friends appeared in front of her.
"Where to? Hahahahah."
"We must celebrate!"
"Oh no... I'm tired...."
"No way, little one.  Today is a big day! I won't let you come back home without a celebration. Come on, only two beers."

That was Saint, her best friend since high school. They graduated together and now worked along in a famous law firm in New York. Along with him was Nop. A very competent Junior lawyer who tried to follow in the footsteps of his friends.

"But Saint..."
"No buts, Rebecca Armstrong. There are only 2 beers, it won't kill you, I promise! Come on. Stop being that annoying." The guy said already pushing his friend out of the office.
"Okay... but only 2 beers, right?"
"Ok, let's go then!"

When they arrived at Joe's bar, Nop was soon asking for some beers to the owner, saying it was to celebrate Becky's success.

"Oh, if it's to celebrate another triumph for our little notable, then this round is on the house!" Said the man happily.

Becky opened her radiant smile and got up to hug her friend and bar owner.

"Thanks Joe. You are so sweet! Let me take this to the table."
"No little girl,  let me take it there..."
"No, it's not necessary. I can do this on my own."

Then the woman picked up the 3 glasses full of beer and as she turned to go back to her table, she bumped into a beautiful woman, spilling almost the entire content of one of the glasses on her blouse....

"Holy shit!!! Lady, please, forgive me! Oh shit, I'm just messing up! Please, come here, let me help you..."
"Hahahaha, don't worry, it was my fault. I was facing you, I could have tried to avoid this incident if I hadn't been so distracted."
"No, I'm very clumsy. Damn it, look at you, you're all wet and smeling like beer for sure... Joe, please, help me here.. "
"What is wrong, Becky?"
"I messed up again..." The gurl said embarassed.
"I told you to let me take this to the table..."
"Joe..." Rebecca said shyly.
"Hahahaha, wait a minute, I'll be right back." The man said and left to take some clean wipers.
