Jane Hawthorn is not a welcoming woman. In her youth she maintained the physique of a supermodel a body well maintained in her old age. With the warmth of an arctic snowstorm she ran an international multi-billion dollar company she was severe. Seeing her blown huge on the tv made even the biggest strongman feel small. Which is why Louis Miller was more than a little suspicious to see her sitting in his modest law office.
“ I appreciate your punctuality Mr Miller. Your assistant said you would be here at eight and, in fact, you’re early.”

“Lawrence has a knack for publicity but no sense in trade. At the first hard decision he will make the one that looks best on tv. Which is not always the one that is right.” stepping out of the car she looked down into Louise's face “will you take this case?”
“Yes”

“Then why is fighting this legal battle so important?” louis was shouting into the phone.
“Because if I lose its proof to the public that I’m corrupt. If I pay my way out it proves to the public that I’m corrupt and hiding it.

“This could actually affect me.” continuing in the same breath “what day is our court date?”
“August 23rd.” Lois still sounded tense, but he wouldn't be a lawyer if he could work under pressure.
“Thank you Louis” Jane typed in the appointment and closed the calendar. She went back to her records. She had left the office hours ago but there wasn’t anything she’d rather do with her evening than work. It was several weeks later when Jane was back in Louis’s
