###Chapter 17



I just sat down in my office and grabbed the white folder. I began reading the articles because they were related to the case I was currently working on when my phone rang. I quickly reached for my phone that was just sitting on my table and then looked at the caller ID. I can't help but frown a little when I saw Zeid's name on the screen. He's Zeidhon Callycx Imperial, one of my closest friends… we have the same attitude and principles in life that's why among our other friends, we get along together. Oh, I forgot… Caerus too.

I didn't give any thought to why he called me today and just simply answered his phone call.

I couldn't help but think, 'I'm not dreaming,' and then I shifted my sight to the window, where I saw the beautiful and thick curtain blocking the light from the sun outside.
