The Midst of Plight (Working Girls Series #4)

Prologue

This is the 4th story of the Working Girls Series. This will include spoilers for the first three stories, I would suggest for you to read To Fly With You first, Crashing The Waves and Tiger's Last Shot first for better understanding and appreciation. But it is not that necessary, you will still understand this as it is.

'You are invited to Ravesco  - Barubrias Wedding!'

I read the invitation on my table. Ram's finally getting married. Im happy for him. Ilang taon rin silang naghabulan. Buti na lang at sila talaga ang nagkatuluyan. I was in the middle of reminiscing the memories of high school when my phone rang. Ah punyeta. 

"Ano?" Sagot ko. 

"Ang sungit naman, kaya wala kang jowa eh!" Pasmado talaga ang bibig ng isang 'to. 

"Nicole Felize, I am a careered woman who is at the peak of my profession. My views, attitude and principles does not include man in it." I said while rolling my eyes. 

"Dami mong sinabi, wala ka namang jowa. Hays. Anyways, dahil nga wala kang jowa. Sumabay ka na sa'kin sa kasal ni Ram. Don't tell me busy ka? Baka pukpukin ka ni Ram ng gavel 'yang ulo mo kapag wala ka." Napailing na lang ako. Nicole's been with me since junior high school and she's still noisy until now. Hanggang kailan siya maingay? 

"Of course I'll go. I'll clear my sched." Sabi ko sa kanya, narinig ko ang katok mula sa labas ng opisina ko kaya kinailangan ko nang ibaba ang tawag. 

"I have to go. Let's talk some other time." I placed my phone to my table when my secretary entered my office. 

"Atty., that's it for the day. Pero meron pong humabol for consult. Wala po siyang appointment." Anya, my secretary said. 

"Ano bang consultation kailangan niya?" I asked. May kalahating oras pa naman ako.

"Custody po." I nodded and went back to my swivel chair.

"Alright. Papasukin mo." She excused herself and went outside.

As a family lawyer, I deal with all kinds of mishaps everyday. May it be problematic couples to pre-nuptial agreements. Araw-araw kong nakikita ang kaguluhang dulot ng pag-ibig kaya nga siguro wala pa akong boyfriend.

Anya knocked and let the man enter my office. My brow twitched up as I saw the asshole approaching me. Ang lakas naman talaga ng loob niya na tatanggapin ko 'tong kaso niya.

"Long time, no see." He even smirked at me. The nerve of this guy.

"Find another lawyer." I directly said.

"Julia, it's been years already. Di ka pa rin ba nakakamove on sa'kin?" Inirapan ko siya. Umupo pa nga siya sa upuan sa harap ko.
