. "I have found the woman I want to marry. Her name is Janelle Bright. She's the woman I want" George McFarland is one of the ranking billionaire in the city. His mother has been pestering him to get a wife as he isn't getting younger but older. On going to the court to see his employer get indicted,he met Janelle and immediately picks interest in her. "I want to request your daughter from you, ma'am. And,I hope you won't turn me down." George's mother went to Janelle mother convenience shop. When Janelle got to know what was happening,she was told she was going to wed a man she barely knows in the coming weeks.
George POV
"What are you even saying,mom?. That's shit,how will you choose the person I wanna spend the rest of my life with?,who does that!."I said angrily.
Mom sighed and sat down on the chair.
She took a sip out of her coffee then looked at me.
"Then what did you expect me to do?, you're not getting any younger, George, neither I'm I. I want to see my grandsons and daughters and spend enormous time with them before..."
"Oh,please,mom. I'm only Twenty five years."I rolled my eyes then grab my flask on the table.
"Really? George, look I'm done doing talks with you. Be ready to meet your wife this night."mom replied and got on her feet then walked off.
I opened my mouth to protest but closed it back.
Words are no better then actions.
I grab my flask from the table and walked out of the dining room.
I went out to the garage and threw my car keys at my driver.
"Good morning,sir."he greeted and I nodded.
"Take me to the branch court."I said while walking towards the car.
"Okay, sir."he replied then hurried over to open the door for me.
I stepped inside and he slammed the door closed.
He walked around the car and came to occupy the driver's seat.
He fixed his seatbelt then insert the key in the ignition hole then drove out of the compound.
I'm going to watch my worker indicted.
He stole from my company and I charged him to court.
I hope he doesn't get away with this.

Janelle's Pov
I grab all the necessary files I will be needing then wore my robe.
I packed my hair in a ponytail and swinged it to the side.
I sighed before moving out of the office.
The chief face popped up immediately I opened the door.
I jerked backwards then scoffed.
"Chief!."
"Don't worry,I came to cheer you up."he smiled.
"Ugh!, please don't cheer me up."I replied.
"Anyways,we have to win this case. The man you want to indict is a worker of George,you know him, right?."he asked and I nodded.
"I heard he will be coming also and he wants the man to be jailed and.."
I glanced at my wristwatch then gasped.
"I gotta go. The trial will begin in five minutes time."I rushed my words then quickly walked away.
I bumped into someone on the way and the files I was holding fell down and scattered on the floor.
What?!.
Oh God!.
"Oh, I'm sorry..I didn't see you coming.."the person apologized.
"Geez.. you should have watch where you are going."I scoffed and drop on a crouch.
I started packing the scattered files and the person that bumped into me bent down and picked some for me.
I nabbed it from him and stood up.
Geez..
I glanced at him for a short period and walked away briskly.

George's Pov
I stared at the lady I bumped into as she walked away.
A small smile touched my face.
She's really pretty..
Her long hair swinging from one side to the other made her more beautiful.
I like her already..
"Uhh... strangers shouldn't be here unless they have appointments with a prosecutor."a voice said and I turned to my side to see a man in his early fifty probably.
"Pardon my manners,I heard the prosecutor that will be indicting the man that stole from my company is here and I came to..."
"Oh my goodness,Mr George. Nice meeting you. The prosecutor left a while ago and I guess you must have seen her on your way here,she was in a hurry to the courtroom."he replied.
Oh.
She must be the one I'd bumped into.
I love this.
"Okay then, thanks."I nodded and turned around and walked away.
