It would be better for her if she gave up this act and let me do my job.
I lean back in my seat, tilt my head ever so slightly while Jason and Sean wait.They’ve seen this before.Some clients like to test boundaries when we first meet and always fail.
If they don’t like it, I won’t work with them.
It’s as simple as that.
An unpredictable client is a client who’s already lost.If they didn’t need us, they wouldn’t be here.But they do, and so I set the rules.
The end.
“Mrs.Blackmore, I amnotyour friend.Let’s be clear about our roles here.I am not required to sit here and list my credentials, nor are my colleagues.You came to us.If you wish us to represent you, then we can continue, otherwise, you may like to do more research on attorneys in the city.”
She swallows deeply, and for a microsecond my cock attempts to take control of my attention.
“I didn’t mean to imply that you were my friend.”
“Yet you did.”
Courtney slightly purses her lips.“I was simply trying to connect with you as a human, assuming we will be spending a bit of time together.”
Jesus, this isn’t summer camp.
In any case I don’t believe a word of what she just said.She’s trying to dominate the meeting, and I am not going to let her.
“We’re all here as professionals.”I push my folder out an inch and rest my hands on it.“Sean and Jason will be the people you have the most to do with.My time is extremely valuable; however, you can rest assured I will be the person facing opposing counsel to finalize your divorce.”
Her cheeks heat.
I can’t help but wonder what this woman looks like in the throes of passion.I’ve never seen hair the color of hers before.It’s golden, yet strawberry blonde, and the contrast of her green eyes makes her look like a mythical goddess.
I dislike the way I’m reacting to this woman.
A woman who clearly married a man for his wealth.They have nothing in common, have not built any business together, and no research showed loving vacations together, nor have they started a family.
She’s been involved in charity events and the usually brainless society contribution.
A loveless marriage, in other words.
I catch a glint in her eyes and almost flinch in response.
No fucking way!
Courtney from South Tucson can keep her claws off me and any thoughts of my billions.
She might have gorgeous curves, long lashes and a mouth built for sucking cock, but I am not going to be her next victim.
Jesus.
“That’s what I’m here for,” Courtney replies, and it takes a good five seconds for my brain to catch up.
Not my cock.
Her divorce.
Right.
Good.
