believe I just thought that,” she thought.
She took another bite and leaned back in her chair. She didn’t
even hear the door open.
    “ Miss.
Parker, there is a Meg here to see you,” she heard Andy’s
voice. She opened her eyes and looked at Andy and Meg standing at the
doorway. She smiled and waved her in.
    “ Who’s
the hunk?” Meg asked as she walked into the office. Julie
smiled.
    “ A
temp,” she said. “Apparently Caroline had a family
emergency and had to rush to LA,” she added.
    “ Wow,
Caroline has family in LA?” Meg asked. Julie shrugged.
    “ Well,
if she does, she never told me about it. She’s always been so
secretive,” she said. Meg smiled and sat down in front of her
desk. “Cronut?” Julie offered. Meg smiled and nodded.
“We’ll have to split mine. I only have the one,”
she added as she cut the confectionery in half.
    “ Thanks,”
Meg said. “How’s your day coming along?” she asked.
Julie shook her head.
    “ Don’t
get me started. I just dealt with the worst, most difficult client I
have ever come across. We went to six houses,” Julie grumbled. “Six,” she
repeated. Meg smiled.
    “ And
she didn’t like them at all?” she asked.
    “ Well,
apparently, she wasn’t really 'feeling the space',” Julie
mimicked. “I swear she was arousing my inner serial killer. I
was homicidal for the entire two hours I was with her,” she
added. Meg smiled. “And here is the worst thing. She wanted to
know if I was ‘associated’ with the Brit hunk Steven
Davenport,” Julie told Meg before she took a long sip of her
latte.
    “ Really?
How did she even know about that?” Meg asked.
    “ I
don’t know. It’s like my private life is now grapevine
news,” Julie complained as she looked at her. Meg smiled and
leaned back in her seat. “Anyway, enough about me. How are
you?” Julie asked, looking at Meg.
    “ I’ve
had better days to be honest,” Meg confessed, taking a long,
deep breath.
    “ What
are you talking about? What’s going on?” Julie asked.
    “ It’s
Sadler,” Meg sighed. Julie shrugged and shook her head. Byron
Sadler was Meg’s ex-husband and the only man who Julie knew
that she really ever loved. Julie leaned forward and raised an
eyebrow.
    “ Byron?
What has he got to do with anything?” she asked. Meg leaned
forward and ran her fingers through her hair. “Is it the baby?
Where is he?”
    “ He’s
at my mom’s. He’s fine,” Meg assured her.
    “ Then
what is it?” Julie pressed.
    “ Sadler
wants custody of him. Full custody,” Meg said. Julie raised an
eyebrow and shook her head.
    “ But
the court already awarded you full custody, right?” she asked.
Meg nodded. “So what’s the big deal?” Julie asked,
trying hard to understand what was going on.
    “ He
got this new job with the World Bank. And the money is actually
good….I think he is buying off a judge or something. There is
no way a judgment would get overturned just like that, right?”
    “ I
don’t know much about law, but I know that much. Who is this
judge?” Julie asked.
    “ Dillinger,”
Meg said. Julie looked at her and picked up her phone. “What
are you doing?” Meg asked.
    “ Getting
you legal representation,” Julie said as she dialed a number.
“Ashley, hi…I know, right. Really long time…coffee
sounds great, but listen, right now I need a favor,” she
started. Meg watched her best friend as she made plans to get her a
lawyer. By the way they spoke, Meg could guess that this Ashley was a
big deal. But as they talked, she couldn’t help but wonder how
she was going to pay her. When Julie hung up, she looked at Meg and
smiled. “Don’t worry. Ashley Keen is the best civil
lawyer you could ever get.”
    “ The
best? Does it mean she works for some Fortune 500 legal firm?”
Meg asked.
    “ Actually,
yes. She is a partner at Lovell, Porter and Smith,” Julie said
as she scribbled something on a piece of paper in her writing pad.
“This is her number.
