Chapter 23 - MEETING AN OLD FRIEND

The days went by and it was already Monday a new week of work. Courtney and David's relationship started improving slowly after their lunch date. Courtney and David went to the Company together, tomorrow was the court case between Charles skin care group and Williams group Courtney was reviewing everything for the court case this was her first court case so she needed to win it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself even if you don't win I won't be angry David said Boss how can you discourage when the court hasn't said who the winner of the case is have some faith in me boss Courtney said David indeed had faith in Courtney but he didn't want to see her working so hard on the case he just wanted her to do her best. A hand knocked on the door you may enter David said . Gabrielle stepped in her heels and greeted David Good morning president am here to submit the report you asked me to submit on the marketing department okay you can drop it on the table and leave I will see you later David said okay sir Gabrielle said she just glanced briefly at Courtney snorted before leaving. Miss Gabrielle Courtney called out yes lawyer Courtney Gabrielle answered trying to fake her smile snorting too much is not good for you getting angry alot will cause wrinkles on your face people in your age group might think that you are an old lady Courtney said Gabrielle wanted to retort but when she saw David looking at her she swallowed her words and simply nodded to Courtney before leaving. My little wife is quite a troublemaker David said Courtney chuckled boss you are making me look like a bad person I was just giving her friendly advice Courtney said boss I need to go through every detail of the case am not stupid i know someone is targeting you and wants to use Jonathan Charles as a pawn to deal with you. Jonathan charles is a small fry I don't think he has the guts to challenge you Courtney said you are smart Courtney well I investigated the matter last week and I found out that Peter Boyle is the big boss behind Jonathan Charles. You mean the third richest family in Hyderabad if am not mistaken Peter Boyle is the boss of Boyle's corporation but why does he wants to use Jonathan Charles to deal with you Courtney asked she still couldn't put her finger on what was happening. Peter is Catherine's elder brother so he wants to deal with me for what I did to his sister Mrs Williams you have to help me deal with your love rival David said Courtney shrugged her shoulders and said I didn't say you should break your marriage alliance with her Courtney said wife I didn't want you to wear a green heart David said okay Courtney said and continued her work she wanted to ask David why he lied to her that his parents was urging him to get married but she stopped herself from asking him.

Courtney was working when she suddenly got a call from someone hello who is this Courtney asked hey girlfriend you have forgotten your friend you have abroad right it's not fair Anna Jones feigned her sadness drama queen Courtney rolled her eyes great empress am I safe you remembered me today Courtney asked you still got this humour of yours Courtney well I am in Hyderabad come and pick me up I have arranged for an apartment.

Boss please can I take a leave today don't worry I won't disappoint you tomorrow Courtney said. You can go but don't come back late when you are done call me to pick you up okay boss I will call you when am done she said. Courtney left the company and took a cab to the airport to pick Anna up.
