    looked forward to seeing. Rhonda was always a sweetheart, and although Rachel knew she could tell her anything, she wasn’t about to candidly discuss her most personal thoughts because: 1. She couldn’t always handle Rhonda’s brutal honesty 2. Casey was Rhonda’s friend too, so she couldn’t vent all her negative feelings 3. If Rhonda knew her biggest secret it would make things awkward between them Her other colleague, Richard, was an eccentric man. Although she considered him a friend, he functioned on an entirely different wave length than Rachel. The big boss who owned that law firm was none other than Victor Alistair. He was old enough to retire, but there was no way he was going to step down when he had worked so hard to attain his position. He had made some friendly exchanges with Rachel every now and then, but their relationship was strictly professional.

But that particular night, Rachel just wanted to quit everything—her job, her relationship, school, her life … all she wanted to do was forfeit. I’m tired, so very tired, she thought in despair. Little did she know that as she sat there with her head down on her arm, Gabriel King had just so happened to walk by her office. He was now standing in the threshold of her door that had remained ajar, staring at his best friend’s girl. Yes, Rachel’s boss was Casey’s partner in crime. They had gone to law school together many years back. Something inside his chest began to squeeze uncomfortably. “Rachel …” She gasped and sat upright, looking startled and then embarrassed. “I am so sorry. I...” “I apologize.
