If You Met Me First...
Undismissed

The Office of Blair and Blair Advocate Manhattan New York

This morning Thea came to his office as usual and met Phoenix Hamilton who also just came.

"For Thea, what's up here?" phoenix asked as they waited in front of the elevator.

"For Phoenix. Bike ride... Haha. Look at my clothes are still sports clothes, because of waking up bad luck." replied Thea who was still wearing a sports jacket and leggings and sneaker shoes. On the girl's back was a Supreme backpack that Phoenix was sure contained Thea's change of clothes.

"a holiday preoccupation?" tempt Phoenix while getting into the elevator.

"Yes. It's good that three days." Thea's smile with a slightly reddened face.

Both of them got out of the elevator that had arrived on the floor where they worked and headed to their respective workrooms. Thea herself chose to go to the bathroom of the clerk to take a shower and change clothes.

Fifteen minutes later, Thea was tidy and professional, sitting on her chair. The girl starts working for the hearing tomorrow, making cover of the theft of a depressed grandmother. Thea wants to ask the jury not to sentence the grandmother to prison but to a nursing home considering she is 87 years old.

The sound of knocking on the door, made Thea look up and look cold face Nelson Blair there. Thea's feeling was immediately uneasy to see the face of her cousin's sister who was also her Boss.

"Thea, can you go to my room ?" nelson said coldly. "Now."

"I.iya mas..." Thea tidied up her laptop and followed Nelson to the man's study.

Nelson opened the door to his study and let his sister in and closed the door.

"Sit down, Thea" Nelson said as he walked to his chair and Thea sat in the front seat of her sister's desk.

"What's up? Is my job wrong?" tanya Thea looked at her sister.

Nelson is silent but hands over photos of Thea on vacation with Hugo, Shane and Apsarini.

"Is it true you went with Hugo Melker to Maine?" ask Nelson.

"Yes, um."

"Living in one cottage?"

"Yes, um."

"You slept together?" asked Nelson who was staring hard.

"No mas, I slept in my own room, Hugo in his own room." replied Thea as is.

"Are you guys dating?" Nelson's green eyes were staring intently at Thea.

Thea just nodded slowly.

Nelson rubbed his face. "Thea... "

"Sorry mas... But we've been dating since Maine yesterday." replied Thea. "I don't want to be in a lot of trouble before Hugo's really free and his wife's killer gets caught and punished."

"Thea, but this is all the family already knows ! Oom Adrian until the rampage to Mas Nelson because the mas do not take care of you... Look, Thea, we know Hugo is innocent, but right now he's still our client ! You know the consequences, right ? And from this moment on, you're gonna be Hugo's lawyer. Let Phoenix take hold of Hugo's case !" nelson said firmly.

"But I promised Hugo I'd accompany him to the FBI building at ten. Bang Omar asked Hugo and Larry to come..." Thea stared at Nelson. The girl knew the consequences of dating a client meant being pulled into her lawyer so there was no bias.

"good. It's your last day as Hugo's lawyer."

Thea nodded.

"Thea, I don't forbid you to date, but why Hugo Melker?" ask Nelson in a softer tone.

"Mas Nelson, if the cupid's arrow has been stuck, can it be rejected?" answer Thea.

Nelson took a long breath. Thea and Apsarini are indeed the same age, both of whom eventually get a partner who makes himself between relief and worry.

"really. If cupid's arrow has stuck what to say. But Thea..."

"Mas, I told Hugo. We're going to close our relationship and Hugo is going to see Daddy when it's all done." Thea said.

Nelson looked at his sister's pretty face. "Hugo said that?"

"Yes mas. It is ethically wrong because there have not been two months, Hugo has moved on but he is a man who does not need the Iddah period right ? After all, ever since Salsabila found out she was cheating, all her feelings were instantly gone."

"I can imagine Hugo's feelings and maybe if I was in his position. Because after all, as a man or woman, whose name is cheating, will make the sense that ever existed will disappear. Unless you have a deep love but the condition that his cheating friend is his enemy during the war."

A knock on Nelson's door made the man open the door automatically.

"Son, there's Hugo Melker in the lobby looking for Thea.. Is Thea in... Hi, Thea. Looking for your client" Phoenix said as the door opened.

"You see Hugo Melker first Thea, but Nelson wants to talk to Phoenix." Nelson gives the code to Thea to get out.

"Good on." Thea stood up and walked out of Nelson's study. "Phoenix" the girl smiled as she passed Mamoru Al Jordan's cousin Hamilton Bradford by the door.

"Thea" Phoenix replied. Thea came out of Nelson's office.

"P, in. There's something I need to talk to you about." Nelson gave the code to his distant cousin.

Phoenix went into Nelson's study while closing the door.

Thea meets Hugo in the lobby who immediately smiles to see his girl coming.

"Miss Ramadhan's Eve" Hugo said.

"For Mr. Melker. Let's go to my room because there are some things that need to be sorted out before we go to the FBI" Thea asked while looking at her Apple watch that showed at 9am.

Hugo followed Thea towards the elevator and while the two were inside, Hugo kissed her lips gently. "Good morning dear."

"Hugo, please. Not here !" hiss Thea. "Mas Nelson knew. Daddy's bodyguards saw and photographed us while in Maine ... "

Hugo's surprised. "What's? Then ... What will happen to us ?"

"Obviously, I was stripped of being your lawyer. Phoenix will replace me." replied Thea.

Hugo rubbed his face rough. "Damn..."

"I'm sorry Hugo ... I've been unprofessional in my work but we can't prevent feelings." Thea said quietly.

Hugo hugged Thea. "I'm sorry I got you punished by your brother..."

"This is the consequence, Hugo." Thea let go of Hugo's embrace as the elevator door was about to open. "We're getting ready for a meeting with Omar and Billy's bang."

Hugo nodded and followed Thea into his study.
