I have a deep secret. I am a Mafia... but I'm also a lawyer. Fighting along with rights and justice. I believe in myself and no one else when it comes to work. I don't believe in my team, with my co-workers or with my clients, they can betray you anytime. Fuck them. I believe in myself because I am the only person I know whom will never betray me.

Nakangisi ako habang nasa loob ng kotse. Tumawag bigla ang Uncle ko. Siya ngayon ang namamahala ng S Law Firm. Sinagot ko ito at nawala ang ngisi sa labi ko. Pinaandar ko na muli ang sasakyan nang makitang naka go sign na. Mabilis ko itong pinaandar.

[Dumiretso ka sa opisina ko. Bilisan mo.]

"I'm still on my way to the firm, uncle." I said.

[Make it fast, Attorney Alexandra.] And he ended the call.

"Fucking old man." I whispered amd clicked my tounge. Binilisan ko na lalo ang pagmamaneho para makarating na agad ako sa trabaho. I parked my car and locked it before entering the building.

"Good morning, Attorney."

They all greeted me with fake smile. Sweet. I didn't bother to look at them or to greet them back. I kept my posture and face cold and bitch.

"God, I can't believe we work in a same company with here. Such a bitch."

People and their mouth.

My secretary came to me and showed me a video so I stopped walking.

"Attorney, tignan mo. Nakita mo na ba 'to?"

"I will watch it later, Samuel." I said and handed him my bag. "Where is he?"

"He?"

"The old man." I said

"In his office, Attorney."

I just nodded and headed straight to the elevator and closed the door. I pressed the top floor and looked at my watch. It's 9 at the morning and yet I'm stressed. The door opened and I went to his office. His secretary opened the door for me after greeting me.

I greeted my uncle before sitting down. Huminga ako ng malalim dahil mukhang alam ko na ang pag uusapan namin. This is about the recent issue, a hot issue I must say.

"If this is about the case of Congressman Huke, I won't handle it." Pagdidiretso ko sakanya.

This is about the congressman that he raped a girl that is in high school student, took other peoples taxes and called the people dirty rats when his mic was on and he bribed people to vote him and it's all coming out now.

Of course, he wanted to look like a victim so he requested to be interviewed by the media. He is even crying. I don't want to handle a case like that.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

"Meron." Sabi ko. "Mag sorry siya, magpakumbaba, bumaba sa pwesto at magpahuli tapos tanggapin yung resulta ng kaso at parusa. Boom, edi tapos."

"Attorney, this is a big fish! We should catch it." Sabi niya at sinindihan ang sigarilyo. "Malaki ang ibabayad niya kapag tinanggap mo ang kaso. There is also a possibility na sundin niya lahat ng gusto mo."

"That's very tempting..." I smiled. "But no."

Binuga niya ang usok at tumingin saakin. "You really don't know how this world works don't you? It's all about money, Attorney Alexandra. All about... money."

"Trust me, Uncle. I know it more than you do." I honestly said.

Money can't do some things in your life. It has a ability to change things. It can be a place, things, dream, or a person.
