Chapter 2 FIRING HER LAWYER

As her car drove in through the gate,the guards bowed respectfully.

Ria sat calmly on her seat till the car parked at the garage. The driver hurriedly got out and opened the car door. She calmly got out.

The lawyer was waiting for her at the living room when she walked in. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting." She apologized as she walked into the mansion.

Lawyer Reece sneered inwardly but maintained a calm expression.

"It's fine Miss Ria." He responded.

"Is that why you are calmly and comfortably seated while I'm talking to you? It seems you are looking down on me,Mr Reece." Ria was still smiling but she had a sharp look in her eyes.

Reece remained unfazed,

"What is wrong if I sit down and talk to you? You are just a prostitute,you don't even know how to talk to your elders at all." He sneered.

Her father Leonard Andrews had always been at odds with his daughter due to where she worked. He even threatened to disown her,but Ria hadn't been bothered at all.

Reece continued glaring at her.

"Really?? My bad then..." She calmly walked over to the sofa and sat down. Crossing her legs,she cleared her throat and with a bright smile asked him,

"Tea or coffee,Mr Reece?"

"Nothing.. I'm fine. Why did you invite me over? We have already finalized everything,right?" He questioned impatiently. He wanted to leave.

He couldn't stand her presence any longer, she was just a slut...

"Exactly... You seemed to have forgotten that..." Ria smiled again.

Reece raised his gaze to meet with hers. What was she trying to insinuate?

"I don't understand.. I don't have much free time as you do,Miss Ria." He said irritatedly.

"Of course you don't... Well, like you said,let me just get straight to the point. Mr Reece,you are fired." At that moment,a maid served her a cup of tea.

"Thank you." She nodded at the maid.

"What nonsense are you saying?!" Reece rose to his full heights and thundered furiously.

"Exactly what you heard,Mr Reece." She smiled again. But as she rose,her face closed up and the smile disappeared from her face.

She walked straight to his front and without warning,she landed three hot consecutive slaps on his face.

"I must admire your courage,Mr Reece. The slaps were for calling me a prostitute by the way. It seems you have forgotten that I'm officially your employer,and you are required to give me the full rights I deserve." She spat heatedly.

Lawyer Reece was in a state of disbelief; did she actually slap him?

He raised his hands to retaliate when she calmly folded her hands and said,

"Seems you are quite eager to defend yourself in court right? Go ahead then." A look of mockery appeared on her face.

His hands froze in the air.

"You are crossing your limits,Miss Ria." Lawyer Reece fumed.

"I'm I? I don't think so,Mr Reece. I have the right to choose who gets to be the family lawyer or not. This is your compensation cheque. You may leave." Ria sat back on the couch.

In fact,she felt she was being lenient towards him?

What rights did he have to call her a prostitute?

Lawyer Reece walked out of the mansion,head bent low.

He had been embarrassed by someone younger than him!

He was going to pay back... Soon...

...... Immediately he left,she whipped out her phone and dialed a number.

"I'm at the mansion,you may come over. Don't overdress... hahahaha." She hung up.

Thirty minutes later,the door to the living room flung open.

"Hey girlie... I've missed you so bad... Sob..." Sam clutched her chest and cried dramatically.

"Stop it.. It sounds creepy coming from you." Ria said in a dull tone. She was lying lazily on the couch flipping through her phone.

"Shut up,I feel bad,no hurt in fact." Sam sat on a sofa opposite Ria's.

"I'm leaving Luminous soon." Ria announced.

"What?! Why? You always wanted to work there in the past. No,what prompted your decision?" Sam fired her with questions as she adjusted her position on the sofa.

"A question at a time,miss." Ria chuckled helplessly.

"Whatever... Answer my questions." Sam folded her arms with an indignant look on her face.

"Wipe that look off,you look ugly." Ria chuckled.

Sam said nothing,she pouted her lips as she waited for her friend's response.

Ria cleared her throat and sat up straight on the couch.

"To answer your question, 'why?' Cause I want to pursue my dream. What prompted my decision? Remember I wanted to become an adventurist? I've decided to quit my job." Ria watched as complex emotions crossed her friend's face.

"Hahaha... What's with that look on your face? It seems you are more saddened by the fact that I'm leaving Luminous,than I am." Ria laughed.

"If it were any other average person,I would have scoffed at the person. But,you are a young billionaire through and through." Sam smiled.

Sam was the owner of a famous boutique in City A. Influential clients and popular celebrities were her customers...

So, both friends were quite rich...

"I fired our family lawyer today." Ria said.

"Thank God..." Sam chuckled.

"For what?" Ria was amused.

"Because I don't like him... He's too arrogant and full of himself..." Sam scoffed.

"Good for him." Ria shrugged.

"But... Won't your decision affect the activities at Luminous?" Sam was curious.

"Affect? Do you think Luminous is a small BDSM house?" Ria laughed.

"No,not that... You have a lot of influence over the activities there, aren't you aware of that?"

"Sam... Life at Luminous will go on with or without me. Even if I quit,it wouldn't have any effect at all..." She clasped her hands and placed it on her knees.

Sam shrugged; it wasn't as if she understood how it worked,so why bother?

Luminous had a strict rule which includes keeping the secrets of the house... No confidential information were to be taken outside the club house. The customers always wore masks and didn't reveal their faces...

Everything was kept confidential..

"So, soon we would be flying across the world; going on expeditions. What do you say?" Ria looked at her expectantly.

"Is that even a question? Of course I'm in..." Sam could feel the adrenaline rush surging through her veins....
