Lola Restaurant
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Moses glared at his wrist watch which was just ( 2: 40 )
The Ray of sun light shone through the thin glasses,
which deepen the dull golden color of the sheet into golden brown .
His eyes sweep through the lively crowds from the glass window before focusing back on the empty rows of empty seats which only bored him more.
just listening to the smooth classic music only made him felt tortured .
His brown eyes sweep back at the gentleman Eating his stake with upmost Elegance was his former client Mr Henry who sip his wine while licking his lips .
" Hope you are enjoying your self ? "
He asked wrapping his mouth with a white handkerchief
" It's really a pleasure being here but I kept wondering why you had invited me to such a nice restaurant unlike our usual spot ?
Am pretty sure is not about having the pleasure of eating perfectly good stake with my client right ? "
He asked Henry who laughed at his remark.
" Very well then I'll cut to the chase, i have come to ask for a favor from you "
He said catching Moses attention
" What favor this time ? "
He asked back noticing the impatient gazed of Henry
" Are you in a hurry "
He asked the surprised Henry who shook his head sipping from his red wine yet again with a calm but collected smile on his face .
" I think I might have gotten into trouble and been dragged to court, I want you to be my lawyer "
He voice out only to hear chuckle from Moses who shook his head
" I knew you will ask for that that's why I did some digging on you, before coming and I got to say you're in real trouble this time "
staring at Henry who frowned his brows and whined his nose just listening to Moses
" Is not that bad ? "
He said a bit worried only for Moses to nod lazily
" this time around not only were you involved in four other cases of illegal drugs, you were also part of the men who had raped Ella Sam your niece .
Which is utterly disgusting just thinking about it .
I also found out you were also involved in the smuggling of cocaine three months ago
but was caught while doing so "
He count out shaking his head the more
" With all this crime listed
I doubt if you will ever survive while standing in the witness box "
He commented simply crossing both legs
" Isn't there a way ? I mean you can do something right ? " .
He asked his Hope's up
" Drugs is really an illegal crime even if I help you, you will still be sentence to jail .
Just accept your fate maybe the judge might lessen your sentence "
He replied casually
" What about we tip the
judge ? "
He asked a bit frightened by the thought of jail .
" Impossible the judge who would be ruling over the court on your case,
isn't any judge you can bribe unless you want to add more sentence to your already long list "
He warned casually as his fingers click the table in a warning manner
" Then help me "
He pleaded only for Moses to point at him palely .
" The carmera turn it off and hands it over my image it's really important "
He stated only to startled Henry who forced a small smile
taking off the little device before handing it to Moses
who thrown it into his glass of wine wrapping his fingers with the white handkerchief on his side .
" There are three ways you can only escape from going to jail, one either you accept your crime and go to prison ,
Two fake your death and run to another country living in hiding all your life and finally three fake a mental health disease to escape trust me it helps but it doesn't actually doesn't have to be fake since you aren't in a stable mental health in the first place "
He commented while standing which made Henry confused
" Aren't you going to sit and talk on how to handle the case ? "
He asked surprise
" Am not interested in taking in your case, find another lawyer to do so .
I have already given you three good options all you need to do is to pick one "
He said taking a step forward
" You aren't going to abonden a regular client are you ? "
He asked Moses who didn't seemed to care
" I think you better reconsider my proposal or else who knows what I might do "
He threatened staring at Moses who smiled eerily taking a step closely and whispered
" Try and see who's more Scarry me or you maybe then we might actually find out "
He replied his voice deep with hidden meaning,
just listening to him made Henry shiver in fear his throat dry and hands sweaty but his expression the same
" We will see "
He replied head high which made Moses smile staring down at the few unfinished dishes
" Thanks for lunch but next time pick a nicer restaurant "
He voice out leaving Henry who laughed out loud in disbelief
" What a bastard ! Just wait and see what I'll do
He thought tightening his fist

" Yes which isn't a surprise

He replied calmly with a smirk
" Henry and you seemed close , what's your relationship ? "
He asked Moses who smiled as usual
" So as you and I isn't it strange that we are enemy but acts like friends ? If you aren't careful maybe one of these days you might end up losing your beloved job "
He asked Paul just laughed
" So you are now threatening me Moses ? Maybe am really meant to put you in prison "
Paul replied causally
" Or maybe it's the opposite "
Moses could only sigh glaring at Paul in pity which amused Paul who just pretended he didn't noticed
" By the way you seemed to be in a hurry can I ask Where you might be heading to ? "
Paul asked suspiciously which he ignores heading towards a parked blue car .
which he opened climb in slamming the door while ignoring Paul before starting his engine and simply drove away leaving Paul who smirk behind.
" You can run but can't hide "
He thought bringing out his phone to check on Moses GPS location before rushing towards his white car parked aside .

Percious asked pushing the male ( Leo ) aside who seemed clingy to her .
" Boss you should hurry in the chairman is waiting for you "
He informed Moses who frowned but nodded
" I want the two of you to head to the police station to ask for the disc drive which was taken from us two months ago .

He said only for the two to nod in confusion watching he walk away step by step which made percious smile in admiration before tapping Leo
' let's go "
She said dragging Leo alongside with her into the distance .
Moses walked through the glass door his steps click through the halls so as the rest.
But was still noticed by the staff which pointed at his way while gossiping about him,
it wasn't something new so he didn't think much about it.
placing his ID ( Identification card ) on the small device
the elevator door slide open letting him walk into the mixed of some employee which noticed his presence the moment he walks in .
Moses who silently pressed the floor button was actually suspicious,
onto the sudden silence and could only assume everyone was busy tapping their phones due to the continues hitting on their phones screen .
" Ding "
The sound of the evevator door slide open widely, walking out into the (5) fifth floor and into the quiet halls.
the door slide close leaving the quiet employee whom all breath in sigh of relief .
" I heard he won the case "
The first male voice out breaking the silence which didn't surprise the rest.
" He must have use another illegal means yet again to win it's not a surprise "
Another male voice out with a sneer which made the four men laughed.
" Even though he looks so handsome in his suit as always "
The three female commented which made the male rolled their eyes not surprise .
" Even if , he is still corrupt working for those who hurt our society and children "
One said totally disgusted
" How are you any different ? "
The first female replied sarcastic which almost made him choke out blood.
" I heard Mr Johnson is at his office waiting for him "
The other quickly added which caught everyone attention
" What do you think they will be talking about ? "
A female asked the rest which fail silent.
Main while Moses walked into his office only to spot Mr Johnson sited legs crossed and currently enjoying a cup of coffee in a relaxing manner.
" Tell me what is it ?
didn't I advised you to stay out of trouble ? "
Moses voice out tiredly while taking off his outer suit and simply hanging it on a hanger
" I came to thank you once
again "
He reply simply which was a bit of surprise to Moses who smirk but still maintain his cool expression
" You having problems again ? "
He asked eyeing Johnson suspiciously who smiled the more
" If you really want to thank me just pay me "
He advised taking a seat and simply going through some new files which was placed on his desk .
" Money not a problem but at times money isn't all that worth it "
He said catching Moses attention who frowned
" Money is to me so I rather you pay than give a speech "
He warned Johnson who nodded While writing a cheque while passing it to him.
" The amount we bargain for "
He informed Moses who lazily took the cheque with a lazy expression adjusting his glasses to check the numbers and zeros
" I didn't cheat you "
He said smiling causally while handing over a black card
" What's this ? "
Moses asked suspiciously but still took it to check in details
" A party ? "
He asked a bit confused glaring at Johnson for an explanation
" A good friend of mine is throwing a party and he wants you to be there "
He informed only for Moses to hand back the card palely
" And why ? "
He asked Johnson who didn't seemed surprised by his expression
" It's more like a business party I think you should go
you might find new clients if you know what I mean "
He replied while standing
and taking a few steps towards the door
" Trust me you won't regret it everyone is really eager to meet you "
With that without waiting for Moses reply
he walks out slamming the door shut and leaving a now serious Moses who took hold of the card Which edges were rough and hard.But the designs were simple and pale in a classic way,
Just staring at it felt a bit different as if, it wasn't just a card but something more than that . His eyes travel through the rough edges then the surface wanting to see the inside, when he felt a stinging pain on the tips of his fingers dropping the card on the table to attend to the pain.
It was nothing more than a paper cut but still made him hiss staring at the wound which was neither big nor small.
