" Breaking news, the world known successful businessman who had entitled with businessman of the year in the last night event had killed a couple by crashing his car. . . . . . ."
Lawyer switched off the mounted LCD screen with a frustrated look on his face. He rubbed his face in distress before taking a deep breath, he carefully arrange his words in mind. It's not every day when he encounter with Gabriel. For some unknown reason, the younger male make him nervous, it might be had to do with the expressionless face or the intellectual persona of his.
" Gabriel, the court is not siding with us and judge is personally going to take a look in this. Media had already grabbed the attention of several human welfare workers and various organisations are on your tail. In short you are villain here."
" What should i do then?"
Gabriel asked his head in his hand. Nothing seem to come in his mind, the shock still not wear out of his system. Truth to be told he still not able to grasp that he killed two people.
The police took him in custody and he had to spend a night in the cell before his butler came with his business lawyer, Bane West. By two in the morning, he was back to his house and at eight in lift of his lawyer's office, going to have a meeting with Bane about the case.
" I'm not going to lie here Mr. Martin but it will not going to end well on our side."
Gabriel nodded in understanding. He already had known about this. What he did was a crime and a big one.
". . . .but the situation now is more complication since there are kids involved."
" What??"
Gabriel's head snapped up. A frown appeared on his face before he turn and glared at his butler. He was not aware about personal information of the male and woman who died in the accident. Everything Gabriel heard was through his butler who told him that the male and woman both are married. He was not informed about the children of the couple who died because of him.
" What the hell you did not inform me about this?"
" Sir, everything going to be fine and i already had a conversation with. . . . . "
" Shut the fuck up. . . . "
" Bane, i don't want this. . . . .let the judge. . . just don't do anything. I know what i did and let me face it."
Standing up from cushioned chair, he nodded at shocked lawyer and glared at his gaping butler who dare to flinch. Gritting his teeth Gabriel stomp out the office, slamming the wooden door. Something tighten in his chest when he heard about children and how because of him those kids would never able to see their parents.
" Gabriel !!!!"
He turns back at lawyer who called his name.
" The first hearing will be in two days. I will fax you all the details."
Gabriel can tell that the lawyer wanted to tell something more by his mouth opening and closing so Gabriel waited but Bane sighed in annoyance before he rolled his eyes and shake his head side to side.
" Just be on time."
Once again Gabriel nodded back stiffly before walking in the lift. He know what West wanted to say but Gabriel does not wanted to listen. He is no family or friend just someone working for him. The company pay the lawyer damn well for his work not for emotional advice.
Gabriel Martin does not need anyone, he was fine before and would be fine in future on his own. People do nothing, just cause nuisance. He is better alone. No one will come close to him and he will not get hurt when they left without a goodbye. All the promises they made were just talks but being a fool he believed them and look where he got himself.
Father left him and his mother.
His mother left Gabriel after making countless promises to him.
All these people just work for him and there is no need for them to meddle in his private matters and they need is do their jobs for which they are hired for, not to give their personal advice.
