I smiled and kissed his lips.
"You should put a small detail here like a shoe print."
I nodded. "Yes, since there are no other evidence present. Let's make an obvious one."
"Hmm, add also hidden clues."
I laughed, turn my chair around and looked at him.
"How about this idea?"
He smiled and caresses my face and hold the pen to draw something.
"A murder disguise as suicide. How could you think of that?"

"GOODmorning, Attorney!" I smiled and greeted them too before going to my office. I looked like shit but presentable naman, but minabuti kong mag-shades muna kase tinamad ako mag-full make-up at ayoko ma-late sa first day ko sa firm. Galing ko talaga mag-English!

Today is the last trial, I wish it will be a good successful. I packed up my things and get my car keys. Binigyan ako ni Mancini ng sasakyan pagka-uwi ko dahil mahihirapan daw akong sumakay. Well good for me. I went straight to the court for my trial. Pinasa lang sa'kin 'to dahil last naman na. Babasahin lang naman ang magiging sintensya. "Is this the mighty Attorney Miranda?" When I heard my name called, I turned around right away. "Prosecutor Han!"
