Kiara Summers is a twenty-eight-year-old female, who came from a city called Nerton, the same as Nancy. The two had been friends ever since secondary school, so they were quite close.
While Nancy majored in Business Administration at university, Kiara went overseas, where she majored in law. Obsessed with the subject, throughout the years, she got herself certified in various law courses.
Which was why Nancy had called her an all-rounder. It didn’t matter which aspect of law the client wanted to deal with, Kiara’s capabilities made her suitable to take on any case.
As Diamond looked at Kiara, who was introducing herself as humbly as she could, though she could see the other oozing with pride, she was amazed.
That was the difference between the learned and the not.
Looking at the slightly older female in front of her with several degrees and certificates and then recalling her measly degree, which she nearly failed, she sighed enviously.
’Fortunately, I have more money and assets than her!’ as she thought of these well-learned people coming to her for employment, her bruised heart felt soothed in a second.
Whoever has gold is the king. A legend once said that.
Kiara, just like Nancy, didn’t have a family, i.e., a husband and kids, so she could settle down in Frin as soon as the employment issue was settled.
Diamond was very satisfied with Kiara. Her confidence and pride in what she believed in and who she was resonating with her.
Ever since she was bound to the system, she realized how important it was for her to be confident in anything that she did.
Whenever a person lacks confidence and has low self-esteem, even dogs and cats can sense that from a distance and bully the person. But when a person is confident, even a ferocious lion can second guess its attack, probably wondering why its prey was acting like that.
So, seeing that Kiara was like Nancy and didn’t cower even in the face of power and money, Diamond knew that she was the one she wanted.
And rather than hiring her to deal with many issues, Nancy was going to be her personal lawyer, who will be dealing with all legal issues on her side which may arise.
[Ding! Do you want to sign in?]
While in the middle of the conversation, the system appeared.
Wondering what good things, the system would be bestowing her later, she responded, ’Sign in!’
And moments later, the answer was provided, leaving Diamond’s mouth wide open and the two friends, seeing her like that, simply thought that Kiara’s awesomeness amazed her.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
[Ding! You have been rewarded with Universal Law Firm.]
The system had done it once again. It’s been a long time since the system gave her something that had something to do with what she was doing at that moment.
And the last time it went like that was around Christmas when she was given the RV, which was still stored in her space securely at the moment.
’Did I just get a free law firm?’ she was so shocked by this gift that she looked at Kiara and sized her up a few times, wondering how she had made it possible for her to gain something like that.
It wasn’t like she didn’t know Universal Law Firm; it was the law firm she had been using for the past ten months. Although she had a legal team at the foundation, she still consulted with them.
But now she had upgraded from being a client to the owner. How could this not be shocking to her?
However, the reward came at the right time. She had been wondering where she was going to place Kiara, but with the law firm in her hands now, didn’t that provide a better place easily?
So, without any qualms about anything, Diamond faced the two friends who still wore curious expressions on their faces, probably due to her earlier actions, and said, "Kiara, you are hired. From now on, you will be in charge of all my personal baggage and I trust that you understand that client and owner confidentiality is the top priority."
"I am not afraid to mention this in front of Nancy since the two of you friends will be two of my top people as I build this empire of mine. As long as you work well without betraying me in the process, I will make you powerful people in this world."
"I don’t lack money or resources. Even when you are facing death, I have the enormous power to pull from death. Even the deities can’t take you away from me. However, you can only get to see this wonderful side of mine, only when you are 100% loyal to me."
"Betrayers will receive the punishment that they deserve. Everything that you have gained when you were with me, I will take it back and trust me, no law or prayers will be able to save you."
"No one is perfect and in business, there comes a time when there are secrets and some of them are deadlier than others. The exposure of such secrets can even become the cause of another world war. And that’s the extent of the secrets that I have."
"I am not trying to scare you or tempt you to do anything right now. But I want you to be aware of what you will be getting into so that in the future you won’t grunt and complain that I didn’t say it."
"So, before we go any further, Kiara are you sure you want to continue to be my lawyer?" with a smile which didn’t look like one, Diamond turned to Kiara and asked before turning to Nancy, "the same goes for you too. What I have given you is just the tip of the iceberg. Like I said before, I want you to be responsible for everything when I am not there. That means that all known and unknown businesses of mine will be for you to manage. Are you sure that you can take it?"
Since the two were already here and she had already revealed too much in the first place, she decided to get this done with and move on.
If they couldn’t even take this, then she might consider doing something else. However, she really liked these two, especially Nancy, whom she had worked with for a while.
She was hard-working and dedicated to her job. She didn’t want to lose such a person just because she feared the unknown.
"And I won’t give you days to think about. Whether you take it or you don’t. I don’t have time to waste!" Diamond added as she tapped the table, her legs crossed and looking very relaxed as if she wasn’t pressuring them.
’What was it going to be?’
