Law without justice is

a wound without a cure.

~×~

Those were Professor Thorne's first words in her lecture on the basics of law. Her knowledge of the world of law was passed to each one of her students. At the lectures, she was nice, she dwelt at every article in the law-book and asked if everyone understood, but at the exams, she was adamant and didn't let any students into the next semester until they had answered all her various questions.

Hayley's class mostly consisted of children from wealthy families who had to sit there as for punishment, but there were also a few who wanted to achieve something in their life.

Scout Moore, her father, was initially against Hayley going to study law. Ever since she was a little, he wanted his little princess to become a doctor. But after a couple of discussions with his wife, he made his decision and supported his daughter as best he could.

After graduation, Hayley and her best friend Nadia decided to stay in Atlanta and pursue their dreams. It was just her and Nadia out there. She owned the night club in town, which her dad bought for her and is one of the best chef. But that couldn't be said about Hayley. She managed to make only simple meals, or she simply ordered Chinese food and sat down on couch to watch some good movie.

“Miss Moore.”

Hayley snapped back to reality and looked in the direction of the offices where one of the Bryant industry workers stood.

“Yes?” She quickly got to her feet and adjusted her black pencil skirt and walked over to the man standing in the doorway with a look on his face that told her everything before he spoke up.

“I'm sorry, but we're not looking for any interns at our company right now.” His voice carried the sorrow as if he didn't like to convey bad news. He handed the folder of papers she had brought with her into her hands.

“My apology.” And he closed the door in front of her face before she could tell him that she wasn't looking for an internship, but a real job.

Hayley sighed in frustration. This was the second time she had been denied a job from a company where she worked as a student. She is slowly falling into despair as yet another rent is approaching and she has almost no money left.

Nadia doesn’t make a big deal out of it because she is coming from wealthy family

“Relax, Hale, I'll just call papa and everything will be fine.” That is her answer to everything.

Hayley tossed Nadia's purse over her shoulder and, with her head held high, walked from the building's exit. The summer breeze ran through her chocolate hair as she stepped outside into the street. She reached into her purse to fished out her cell phone that will be certainly full of messages and missed calls from her roommate.

3 new messages

2 missed calls

Shocking.

The brunette ran her finger across the screen and unlocked the phone.
