The Perfect War Story……. - Chapter 88

“No. We do not have to do anything about it. They are right on their part. I lost the case against Linda Woods and the client has full authority to shift a lawyer if they feel I am not the best.”Austin looked up and smiled pleasantly.

“And also sir our next case is once again, against Linda Woods, exactly after twenty days. It is another high profile case of a liquor company, getting its license cancelled due to poisonous ingredients. We have to save the liquor company, while Linda Woods is representing the licensing company.” The secretary spoke.

“Hmm… I know about it already. I need more details about it. Tell them we are taking the case. But if they are at fault, I will lose the case myself to Miss Linda Woods. Let us be fare, if the company is selling cheap and poisonous liquor, I do not want to be a reason of several deaths.” The man smiled handing over the signed documents to his secretary.

The secretary looked at his boss with even more surprise. He was working for  Austin, from several months now and he knew how Austin had bought evidence, distorted  facts and provided false evidences to win the case, no matter how shameless and unethical it was. Today the man was talking about good karma and ethics. It was more than difficult for the secretary to digest. “Sir? You mean we might lose this case too? In case the company is actually fraudulent. This is one of the most important cases for us. The company is an international brand.” The secretary was trying hard to convince Austin, but Austin was simply smiling looking at him.

“I know, but I have decided already. Anyways, please send me contact number of best flower shop in the city. Right now.” Austin smiled once again.

“Flower shop?” the man gaped at Austin in surprise. The man was generally asked about coffee, documents, and records and for the first time he was asked about a flower shop. “Yes sir.” He left the office, still in shock at Austin’s changed behaviour.

Austin’s phone buzzed and he opened it quickly. His secretary had sent him the number of the best flower shop in the city. He smiled quickly dialling their number…..

Meanwhile…

Linda had been meeting her clients one after the other, while his secretary was busy fixing the next appointments with them. Finally the girl had reached her last meeting and the client quickly entered the room.

A man dressed in a formal blue shirt with beige pants entered the room. Linda looked at the man and could not help but notice how good looking he was. He looked of about Linda’s age and his golden hair and blue eyes were really striking. He too had curly hair just Like Linda and he smiled politely looking at her.

“Please be seated.” Linda smiled, trying to avert her mind away from his looks. She even noticed his ripped muscled which were quiet prominent underneath his fitted shirt.

“Hello madam. I am Olive Brown and I want to discuss my case regarding my wife to you.” The man’s smile faded away and he looked at Linda with much seriousness. There was a hint of pain in his eyes, which Linda could not help but notice.

“Yes. Please go ahead. I am listening.” Linda smiled politely and switched on the recorder, where she recorded all the statements of her clients. As soon as she heard the word ‘wife’ she just had a mini heartbreak. Why a man this handsome had to be married?

“Madam. I and my wife got married one year back and it was all fine for a few months, but then my wife started to behave weirdly with me. She even threatened to commit suicide several times, if I do not give her all my property. Once she tried to cut her wrist and when I stopped her, by trying to hold her knife she called the cops telling them that I was trying to kill her. I had to give her so much of my property to make her change her statement, as the knife had my fingerprints on it. Now she has agreed for a divorce provided I give rest of the property to her also.” The man spoke in much anguish looking at Linda.

Linda’s heart went out to the boy, hearing his story. “Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.”

“Madam, I have worked very hard to build some wealth. I cannot afford to lose it all and start over again. I have already given so much of my property to her.” The man begged in much sorrow looking at her.

Linda once again could not help but notice how handsome the man was. He looked like a model, or a top Hollywood actor. “Do not worry. We will gather enough evidences against your wife. I will make sure not just you will be rescued from her but you will also get back the property that you had to give her.” Linda smiled giving him a reassurance. The girl was once again blown away as he too smiled, hearing her words. They both looked at each other for a very long time, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Linda snapped out of her trance and looked towards the door.” Yes?”

“Madam, there is a delivery for you. Shall I bring it in?” Linda’s secretary spoke a bit in hesitation.
