Elizabeth was still dazed as she sat down at her desk. Mike Weiner had actually been to convince her into taking it. She didn't know what to think. "I accepted it okay...now I need to get over the that fact and get started on something." she thought to herself.

She went over to her file cabinent after searching through the folders for awhile finally pulled one out. It was the folder that contained all of the articles that her sister had written over the past. Leafing through the collection she came to the article that she had been looking for and began to read.

The Last Will and Testamony of J.P. Bingley?

Over a month ago, the news and papers reported the death of J.P. Bingley, the owner of Bingley Corp. Now the death has raised a new interest. Bingley's will stated that everything he owned except for a million dollars would go to his son, Charles P. Bingley. This included the ownership of his company. Now his second-in-command, Geaorge Wickham, is challenging this saying that they is a later will that states that the business would go to the second-in-command. Wickham is so determined to get the company that he is now taking the case to court. Bingley has decided that he must accept so that he can protect his father's last wishes. The...

"What'cha reading?" a male voice came from above Liz and she quickly jerked her head up. Standing in front of her was Richard Fertz, one of her best friends and her co-worker. Instead of replying Liz just kind of sat there gaping a little. "I'll take it from your dazed look that Mike finally convinced you to take the case."

This comment did the trick and Liz snapped out of the haze that had been fogging her mind since she left Mike's office. "You know about the case?" she was surprised at this. "Why would Mike tell Rick before me?"

"No I don't, it was just a lucky guess." Rick looked at her like she was the biggest idiot he had ever met. "Of course I know about the case! I just mentioned it didn't I? That's what we call a hint Liz." he was shaking his head as he mocked her with his sarcastic humor.

"Hahaha...your so hilarious."

"I try. So anyway, you took it didn't you."

"Yeah." Liz sighed, "I can't believe that I took it. I hate these cases and I took it. This is going to be the greatest waste of time. I'll be living in misery the whole while long."

"Oh, come on, it's really not that bad Liz. I mean Bingley is a nice guy and think of the effect a win would have on the firm."

"Yeah, I know...Wait! How do you know that Bingley's a nice guy! It's not like you know him personally or anything!...You don't...right?"

"Well I wouldn't call it personal or anything but I've met the guy a few times and we talked and he's nice."

"You met a couple of times..." Liz repeated in disbelief.

"Yeah, my cousin is one of his good friends." Rick replied laughing at Liz's shocked face.

"hmm," Liz surpressed a laugh, " I didn't know that you had such high relations."

"Well he's just about the only. The rest of us are only poor blue-collar working class people."

"Oh you poor baby..." Liz laughed

"Yeah I know it's such a shame. Now if you'll excuse me I think that I'm going to go into my own office and sit in a corner and wallow in self-pity."

"Have fun with that."

"See you later alligetor." and with that last comment made Rick left the office in a fit of laughter just as Alyssa came in with a message fo Liz.

"Mr. Weiner made the meeting for three tommorrow afternoon."

"Thanks, and tell him that I'll be sure to call Jen first chance I get." The message had changed Liz's mood from being humorous to pissed.

Thnx for the reviews. i'm not sure what's to come in the next chapter but it will probably be the first time we actually get to hear from Jen and not about her and maybe a glimpse of charlette, i'm not sure.
