Standing suddenly, which pulled her hand from Corrine's, Aphrodite said, "I knew that you would take his side..."She didn't wait for a response but simply stormed away from a shocked Corrine Justice, still seated on the bench in the courthouse hallway.Too riled to return to the office, from both the lost case and from speaking with Corrine Justice, Aphrodite decided not to return to the office that day. She would share the details of the case with Lana some other time.Glad that the condo was well north of the area impacted by the traffic loop, Aphrodite ignored the barricades and other traffic control devices being staged along her route. She would remind her parents to stay away from the affected areas over the weekend since they had historically avoided Myrtle Beach during peak tourist season and had little experience with the challenges they would face if they ventured into the heart of the entertainment area."How'd it go?" her mother, Pandora asked as soon as Aphrodite entered

Cara was busy making some lunch for herself and for Xavier as well when he was going to come back to the apartment. He had said in the morning that he had a meeting with his brother which he could not be postponed and started cutting up all the veggies that she knew would be required to make some pasta. It was the one dish that she could manage and could be called restaurant quality. Of course she could not cook like Rosa but she could do something. After going around in Madrid and walking for so long she had been in so much pain that she needed that rest today.But what she did not expect was the doorbell ringing. Xavier had his own key and would not ring the bell and she knew that no one would come to his apartment unless they knew that he had an apartment here. She was wearing a loose fitted pants and crop top and her hair was a mess. But she anyway opened the door and came across a beautiful and elegant woman. From her research of Xavier and his family Cara knew that this woman wa

Aphrodite turned and made her own assessment of the crowd. This was the first time since the trial had begun that she had bothered to see who might be in attendance to watch the spectacle unfold besides the players themselves. The one person that she recognized who was worth noting was Corrine Justice. She was chatting animatedly with Emily Willis. It appeared that they were waiting for Devon, or someone else, to join them for lunch."Come on," Aphrodite urged, "Let's get out of here and find something to eat real quick. We only have forty-five minutes and a lot to discuss before we turn things over to the defense."TREY joined Aphrodite in packing up their files and other items on the table as he asked, "You don't intend to call Dr. Henry?""That's one of the things that we can discuss over lunch," Aphrodite said.Dr. Melvin Henry was a professor at Spelman College in Atlanta. He was a renowned authority on the subject of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality. Aphrodite had asked Dr. He

"Mrs. Willis, did Athena Hart work at Coastline Multimedia for three consecutive summers?""Yes, she did.""Please share with the court in what capacity Miss Hart worked at Coastline during those three summers."Emily had a neutral expression on her face when she replied, "The summer between Athena's freshman and sophomore years at Clemson University, she was a participant in our summer internship program. The following two summers, she was a contract employee."Glancing back at Aphrodite, TREY could tell that she was as confused as he was over this answer. Thinking quickly while waiting for Aphrodite to finish writing the note that she was feverishly scribbling on her legal pad, he turned back to Emily."Can you explain what this contract employee position that Athena Hart held entailed?"Emily thought for a second and said, "It entailed mostly special projects, typically related to cross-collaboration between Marketing and the various production teams.""Special projects," TREY repe

Cara paced the full length of the living area at least a dozen times before she was took a deep breath and told herself to calm down.But she couldn't.How could she be calm when she knew that Xavier was going to be furious?.If only she had stayed out a bit longer. Explored a few more of the queen streets in the cities medieval gothic quarter. But the 3 days or full on non stop sightseeing in Madrid and 4 nights of vigorous love making had finally taken their toll. The idea of whiling away afternoon with a book stretched out on one of the loungers by the apartments school along with a bowl of Caesar salad and pasta had been too tempting to resist.And then Xavier’s mother had rung the doorbell and walked in into the apartment.His mother.Her stomach turned into knots she began to peace again her beer feet taking her own another Circuit of the living area and then out onto the sun warmed terrace school stop but the fresh air didn't help. Her mind continued to spin in ever decreasing
