“Oh, the other half, Raymond and I left it in the office.” Bosco answered
“Why?” Benny asked
“We want to save it. Like you said that Lawyer Yeung is a beautiful girl, I don’t want to beat her within the first day. I save it for us to have more time to see that beautiful girl.” I said
Benny smiled and opened the door to look out. He saw Tavia was standing there with Kitty - her secretary. “Hey, I saw my dream girl.” Benny said
Both Bosco and I pulled Benny away and looked out while we only saw a girl who wore a white skirt not the lawyer uniform. Then we turned inside and gave each other a look, “How is it?” Benny exciting asked
“That’s what you call beautiful?” Bosco asked
“Yeah,” Benny said
Bosco hit me, “If I know that what he calls beautiful. I don’t have to wake up early this morning.”
I nodded to agree with him and walked away, “Where are you going?” Benny asked me
“It’s almost eight.” Bosco answered and followed me to the court.
On the other hand, Tavia was together with Kitty, “Where is Bernice?” Tavia asked
“Bernice got a cold last night. She called up this morning.” Kitty answered
“Do you know is she ok?” Tavia asked
“I don’t have time to call her yet.” Kitty answered
Tavia entered the court and grasped her cell to call Leila. However, far in the distance, she saw Raymond. Tavia deadly stood there looking at him.
I got in and still thinking of the way how to finish the case as soon as I can. However, when I saw her face – the girl in her attorney’s uniform, I was frozen. She gave me a feeling like I saw an old friend but could not remember her name, “Wow…, that girl is not normally beautiful.” I heard Bosco said
Benny suddenly hit my shoulder, “How is it?”
I returned to reality, “That call beautiful?”
Bosco hit me, “Shut up, the way you look at her told me you admit she is beautiful.”
Kitty shook Tavia’s hand, “Miss Yeung, are you ok?”
Tavia turned back looked at her secretary, “I’m ok.”
Tavia pulled the document out and placed it on the shelf, “Yeung Yi, stop thinking you have to concentrate on your work if you want to help her.” She whispered in her thought

Everyone stood up and bowed by the end of the case. Bosco bent over and whispered into my ear, “She is not a bad competitor. You have to watch out for her.”
I smiled, “Did not Carlos warn me about it?”
“Her smile is awesome.” Bosco said
I smiled again and came up to her place, “Lawyer Yeung, I’m Raymond Lam. Sorry for could not attend to the meeting appointment last time. However, nice to meet you,” I said and praised my hand up.
She frowned and turned to look at me, “What did you call me?”
I surprised looked at her and turned to Bosco, “Did I say something wrong?” I asked
“He called you Lawyer Yeung.” Kitty said
Tavia stared at Raymond, but her promise two years ago came back to her mind. She bit her lower lip and closed her eyes, “Sorry” She said and grasped her brief case.
She quickly left with her secretary, leaving me there with many question in my mind. I felt my heart was aching as when I saw she closed her eyes. I could not explain my feeling, and I did not know how I got that pain. “What’s a weird girl?” I heard Benny said

Tavia put down her brief case and lie down on her bed. She tried not to think but all of her memories kept coming back. Leila opened the front door and got in, “Yi, I’m home.” She called out
Tavia got out and ran to the bathroom. She got in the bathtub, turned on the water and sat in there. Leila after changing, she came to the kitchen and started to prepare dinner. After forty five minutes, she came and hit on the bathroom’s door, “Yi, are you ok?”
However, Tavia did not answer her, “Yi…” Leila yelled
“I’m ok.” Tavia responded
“Please get out; you are in there almost one hour already.” Leila said
Tavia got out with a towel in her hand. She dried her hair. Leila worry looked at her friend, “Are you ok?” She asked
“Do I look something wrong?” Tavia asked and walked to the kitchen
“You are in there forty-five minutes.” Leila spoke
Tavia eyes went blank. She released her breath, “I’m cleaning the bathtub.” She lied
Leila pulled the chair and sat down, “How was the case this morning?” She asked while grasping some chopstick and spoon
“It’s ok.” Tavia answered
Leila looked up at her friend. As usual, when she asked her friend that question, Tavia would detail her with many things that happened that day. However, today the only sentence Tavia’s respond was –it’s ok-, “When will be the next time for this case to continue?” Leila asked
“Two more days after today,” Tavia replied
“As I know, the other attorney was a new lawyer. I think he should not pressure you that much.” Leila said
Tavia stopped and put down her chopstick, “What’s happened?” Leila asked
“Not quite hungry,” she said and stood up grasping some fruit in the refrigerator, “Yi, are you ok?” Leila worry asked
Tavia smiled, “This is the third time you ask me that question. I think that question must save for you.”
“It must be something wrong happens with you today.” Leila judged
“I’m just tired.” Tavia lied again
“Maybe you stayed up last night and not have enough sleep.”
“I think so too.” Tavia spoke and bent over to grasp the phone
“Calling your handsome police?” Leila joked
“Bernice” Tavia said and dialed Bernice’s number, “I just want to know is she ok or not.” Tavia said

At my house
I was in my room sitting in front of the computer with many documents on my desk. I was studying the new information that Sammul handed to me this afternoon for a new case. –Kooc…- I heard someone knocked on my door, “Come in” I yelled out
Sammul opened the door and put his head in, “Want to eat something?” He asked
I shook my head, “I’m not hungry.”
“Are you ok?” He asked me
“I’m healthy.” I joked
“I mean you did not get out of your room for three hours already.” He said
“I have to read this thing.” I said and pointed at the folder in my hand.
“Do you need help?” He asked again
“I’ll think I’m fine.” I spoke
“They thought you have problem with that beautiful lawyer Yeung.” Sammul said, “And, they are discussing about this situation out there.”
“I know Benny would say something, but it is not under my control.” I said
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat something?” He asked again
“I’m fine.”
“Ok, I don’t bother you.” Sammul nodded and closed the door
I put the folder down and cleaned back. I could not get her out of my mind. The way she looked at me, as same as she was mad at me. I could not forget that look – the look that hurt my heart.
