Perfect SCARS

††††† THRITEEN YEARS LATER †††††

How time flies....

I woke up to my morning alarm, my usaul nightmare.. Where of course I am running for my life because some crazy beast is chasing and I can't breath and I can only run a distance before I collapse and wake up
The same one that haunts me for good thirteen years of my life

It's Tuesday.... I streched out my legs, worn my slippers placed carefully by my bed... I stood up grabbed the remote control punched it to fling my thick curtains open... It that time of the year were the weather is neither too cold nor too warm... My favorite season of the year... It's Spring

I smiled as I looked out of the And the beautiful view from my window freshen up my day as I smile at the fabulous city of Beverly hills..

I played my favorite morning dose from Alessia Cara.... Scars to your beautiful... It helps softening my mood and prepare me ahead of the day

I went to my dressing room to pick out a nice outfit for the day... I stumble upon series of newly delivered outfits from Jay and Co' he sells his own designs and they are fabulous

I picked the rose peach 🍑 suit jacket and pants.... And my black heels to match... I don't think I have a court hearing today so I don't need to worry about aching my foot..

And that stupid assistant of mine has not called to remind me of my early meetings... I'll deal with that when I get to the office

I took a nice bubble bath in my jacuzzi, usually am always in a hurry to leave for work and just have to rush a shower and come back after work to have my bubble bath with a glass of champagne 🍸 and nice music to go

Although I didn't waste too much time before I got out of the shower, dress up and do a simple makeover... Then grab the keys to my ride and leave the house

My baby is a 2018 red Ferrari Portofino, A client gave it to me last year as a thank you gift after winning a major case for him... He was really excited and must have notice my admiration for fancy cars plus he could afford it so no big deal.. Driving it gives me extra joy... I fix on my pair of Tomford sunglasses 🕶 and enjoy the 45mins drive to my office

I stopped by the parking loft and hand my keys to Joe... As I head towards my almighty firm.. I sighted my assistant Britney Peters, a clumpy auburn with lovely grey eyes, dressed in a sunny gown with her hair in a tight bun.. She recently just finished from Yale and expected to be retained here after her internship with the firm but had to be my assistant instead with all her connections

She approached me holding two cups of coffee, handed me one and took my bag

"Good morning.. Ma"

"You care to tell to me what's good about this morning "

"Am really sorry I didn't call you this morning ma.... I.. "

"I dont need your silly excuses Miss Peters, can you run me through my schedule for the day quickly "

i said as we walk into the building and towards check point, she flipped open her big jotter and squirt her eyes

"You have a meeting with Mr Herts by 10am.. Then you have lunch with Mr Lavon by 12 noon"

"Lavon... Today why did I fix that today "

"You moved it from last week... To today ma'am "

"I did... Then scrap it, I don't have time to wear fake smiles, and act nice around some gullible football player and deal with the paparazzi "

"He just wants to thank you for the case You won, it's just a friendly dinner"

"Would You rather go on the date with him "

"No.. Ma, am sorry ma.. Then you have the interview with the journalist by 3pm and.. Ohh board meeting by 2"

"Is that all...... "

She stare at her jotter for a while before answering
"Yes ma.... "

We hop into the elevator

"What about... What about this my Chinese client.. I thought they are flying in today "

"Ohhh they are Koreans actually "

"Yeah.. Whatever so, dont I have a meeting with them"

"Erm... The songhai group of companies are actually not our clients anymore "

"WHAT!! "

I half screamed.... Those people are one of my biggest client.. We walked out of the elevator together when it got to our floor

"What do you mean they are no longer my clients... I work their case just a few weeks ago. You should know that. You are my assistant "

"I do ma'am but.... They shipped to another representative "

"What do you mean "

"I heard from assistants gists that they are a client of Mr Johnny Parker now ". She half whispered

"That sneaky son of a bitch...... "

I turned back immediately and back into the elevator... Straight to Johnny Parkers office

Johnny Parker is a cunning, self centered asshole who deems it fit to use others to climb his way to the top

We were made partners at the same time and he's been trying so hide to increase his shares in the firm thereby stealing other people's clients...

I wasn't bothered that he's been stealing some of my low bits clients until now because I have quite a lot of them but now he's been messing with me for a while now and now this... I won't take it .. Never

I ignored his assistant approach to stop me and barge into his office with JP boldly embbedled on his door.. He was with a client and I don't care

"What's up JP... Busy stealing other people's clients this early "

"Ohh good morning Genesis, as you can see am in the middle of an important meeting "

"And as you can see I don't give a flying fuck "

"Mrs Sanders could you pls excuse for a moment. Am really sorry for the inconvenience "

She nods and walk pass me and out of the office

"Are You this desperate Johnny.. To steal your way to the top "

"What are you talking about "

"Oh don't play dumb with me you know what am talking about "

"Could this be about the Koreans "

"What else would it be about "

"Look I had nothing to do with it... They call Pearson himself threatening to leave the firm because they thought you, collided with their translator to dupe them so.. Pearson pleaded with them not to leave and hands it over to me.... Now how's that my fault "

I look at him and nod... He's black, bold and defensive. We never meet eye to eye

"That's just some serious horseshit... You wanna play this game with me.. Are you sure you wanna play this game with me "

I asked firmly

"I'm not at war with you... Genesis "

"No..but. I'll be putting you in your place asshole  "
