(Charlie's POV)
Mrs. Guidiotti, here are the papers.
I gave her an envelope enclosed with some papers regarding the total property including the assets of the Lockharts before it was handed over to the Stratfords.
Thank you Attorney. I am very impressed by your loyalty to me and my family.--- she said
No worries. It's my pleasure, if you have any concern, don't hesitate to call me.-- me
Sure..(shake hands) thank you. I have to go. -- she
And she left the restaurant.
Yes.. I am Charlie Najil.. the Stratford's family attorney, and..
The Lockhart's very loyal family attorney.. our services were passed to the Stratfords right after the accident but still doing business with Mrs. Guidotti.. I mean mrs. Lockhart secretly. You can call me a spy.. kinda like that..but i'm doing it on a legal process. My father's the one involved on that contract signed by Lockharts and Stratfords but since he passed away, I' m the one liable for it.. Mrs. Lockhart is aware of the revision made by Mr. Marcus Stratford because I spill it.. but not the contract made by Ayel and her daughter. It's some kind of a game and still I am Ayel's friend so no need to tell it.
Am I a traitor? Hmm.. let me think..
yes??
After that brief conversation. I left the restaurant and went on a bookshoppe nearby to check some law books.. I saw a familliar woman entering the bookstore..
I know her.

Oh?? Sige sige.. bye.-- ako
Nakakainis din.. yung papasyal ka sa bookstore para lang tumingin ng cookbooks..kaya ko naman bilhin kaso yung mga nagpapa canvass ee ayaw pa..baka daw pareho ang content. Hai..
Pagpasok ko sa bookstore, nakasalubong ko ang isang pamilyar na mukha..san ko nga ba siya nakita? Ee.. nevermind.
Nang makarating ako sa cookbook section, napansin kong nakatitig parin siya sakin.. hala.. pero di naman siya mukhang masamang tao. Umiwas ako ng tingin at naglibot pa sa bookstore, nakita ko naman na may kinuha siyang libro dun sa law books section... law... teka... haha alam ko na.. si Attorney nga!
Lumapit ako sa kanya at..
Hello attorney! --- sabi ko na nagtap pa sa balikat niya
Yes?--- attorney
Diba ikaw yung attorney nila Mr. Stratford? Bumisita ka na sa bahay namin diba?--- ako
Ah yes. I remember you..Mrs. Stratford's friend..--- attorney na nakatingin sa mga bookshelf
naman.. grabeng seryoso niyo.. ganyan ba talaga kayong mga abogado..andito ang kausap niyo hindi yung bookshelf. -- ako
I know..-- attorney
Ang sungit mo naman..wala ka sigurong girlfriend kaya ganyan ka..siguro nasa 30's ka na. Kasi di ka man lang ngumi:$+++'(;/ -- ako
Di na ako nakatapos magsalita dahil umalis siya sa kinatatayuan niya at nagbayad na sa cashier.
Ang sungit-- ako
Paglabas niya sa bookstore..dumampot nalang ako ng cookbook at binayaran yon, sinundan ko kung san pa siya pupunta..
