Bill----->

"How can this be happening!!" I slammed my hand against the desk.

"I'm sorry but I don't think this can just slide" Maxwell said backing a few steps from the computer screen on the wall of his office.

"I know.." I huffed . Apparently a male model said some things and touched another model ..

"What do you think we should do?" he asked sitting on his office chair.

"call an attorney which I hope we don't need, I'll talk to the models and the staff" I said gathering the paper work. I can't believe people are not mature and professional enough to not do stupid things like this.I left with out saying anything else than I'll call later.

"Kim!!! Bill!!!" I yelled storming through the studio towards my office not a lot of people where working today or for the next few days.

They came rushing inside with fearful faces I removed my coat and scarf "we have a problem" I signaled them to take a seat.

"what is it?" Bill asked turning his cigarette off on my ash tray. I looked at it feeling tempted to smoke too.

"Maxwell called me and turns out we have a lawsuit.." I paced behind my desk reaching for a drink in the small fridge , they both gasped in disbelief "A model complained of sexual harassment" I added taking a seat

"Evan I told you it wasn't a good idea for you to engage with the models" Bill said with no confidence of his words

"what makes you think it was my fault?" I looked up at him with a cocked eyebrow and a menacing frown

"umm-" he played with his hands lowering her gaze

"Do you think that if it was my PROBLEM  you would be here!?! and I'd be telling you about it??" I yelled hitting a pencil holder off my desk across the floor. I saw Kim tense on her seat.

"I'm- sorry I shouldn't of assumed.." he added looking at my hand that had just  grabbed hold of another object

Breathe...I told myself "anyway Kim I need you to find out everything you can with the staff, see if anybody saw anything. " she nodded  "Also get me the direct number of this model" I handed her the name

"yea, right away...Evan would you like me to clean this or come back later?" Kim asked pointing at the mess on the floor I caused. I looked up at her and saw she had re-dyed her hair bright red

"later" I said simply through a clenched jaw she understood and left, I didn't have to tell her I didn't want to be bothered right now.  I gave into temptation and lit another cigarette

"rough day?" Amanda asked setting our salads and drinks on the high bar.

I sat on the stool with a huff  " yea.. we have a lawsuit in our hands"

"oh my god! really?" she sat next to me as we talked  through our food.

"eat up and you can worry about that tomorrow" Amanda said trying to cheer me up.

I nodded eating the salad that was beginning to take my head ache away every bite

"oh that brings me up to tomorrow we have dinner with my mother" she said cleaning up her plate

I had forgotten about that "yea.. what time?" I asked taking my plate around to the sink as well

"dinner silly..... night time and we still have to buy the dessert" she took my plate after she finished washing her's "here I'll wash it"
