   Me: -What?! (Ohh, when is this gonna end?!)

   Al: -Yep, we have all been through this...
   Nicole: -And I was the lucky one. My client had already decided to accept our law firm's help. So, it was quite simple.
   Me: -It doesn't sound that bad.
   Markus: -Yeah, for Nicole. I had to insist for days for my client to accept. It was pretty hard for me.
   Me: -Hey, now I really don't know what to believe...
   Boss:-You'll know when you will see. Are you ready to go?
   Me: -Yes. I was born ready!
   Al: -Mic, just a small advice...don't be too confident. You might be dissapointed...
   Nicole: -Yeah, and good luck Mic!
   Me: -Thanks, I think I'll need it!
   Markus: -You bet you will.

   On our way to our client...

   Me: -Ahm, can I get more details about this client?
   Boss: -Here are the documents. You can read them.
   Me: -Okay. So his name is Albert, he is 53 years old and he owns a hotel. A scandal took place in the hotel while a man was...drunk. (This reminds me of Andrew...) He tried to aproach a woman, and he slapped her...

   I was trembling already, having flashbacks...

   Boss: -I think you've read enough. Let me take the documents.
   Me: -I..I..I am sorry...I didn't believe it affected me...I tried to ignore, to move on...
   Boss: -It's normal for you to feel this way. But don't worry, I promise with all I am, that it won't happen again!
   Me: -(I have finally calmed down...his words comforted me...) Thank you!
   Boss: -So, I'll tell you what happened. This man, Albert, tried to stop the drunker and he got into a fight with him. The thing is, Albert is perfectly fine, instead, the drunk man, is hurt. So he sued Albert for this, and he is about to lose the hotel as well. What we need to do, is to convince him to become our client, so we can protect him in court.
   Me: -Okay, I got it. But what benefits do we have, if he accepts?
   Boss: -Well, first of all, this case is very known and if we will win, we will get a high reputation.
   Me: -I see...
   Boss: -Second of all, it's a win-win case for both sides. If we get one more case and win, we were promised to get some funds so we can extend our law-firm.
   Me: -And as for him, he will keep the hotel and win the case.
   Boss: -Exactly! Aaand...we arrived at the hotel.
   Me: -Yeah, and it seems that something's not quite right...
  
   When they got out of the car, they could see a lot of people gathered around other two...
 
   Me: -Boss, we could ask around to see what is happening.
   Boss: -Indeed. Excuse me, could you tell us what is going on?
   Random man: -Yeah, sure. There was a scandal here a few days ago, and it seems like the one who made it happen, came back to threaten the owner.
   Me: -Are you talking about the drunk man?
   Random man: -Yes, that's right!
   Boss: -Okay, thank you. Michelle, let's go and see what is happening.
   Me: -I am right behind you!
 
   They were struggling to go through the crowd to those two. While they were aproaching more and more, they could hear a familiar voice yelling and threatening the owner...

   Me: -Boss, this voice sound familiar to me...
   Boss: -Wait a minute...

   Kevin went to the drunk man, he grabbed him by his shoulder...

   Drunk man: -Who the heck...?! Kevin?!?!
What are YOU doing here?!?!
   Me: -OMG!!! I can't believe it!!!...Andrew...?!?!

To be continued...
