Matilda POV

"Cheers" we click our bottles as we cheered,"maybe you are not sooo bad " Mr Derek said,I smiled" you too

It was fun working with you and I hope we get along well,and I know I will learn alot from you," I said,"you know maybe you don't need me you prove you will be a great barrister one day" he said,I laugh" am flattered."

"Goshhhhhhhh! am tired,let just go to bed I thought ,tomorrow is another day"

Arghhhhh the alarm woke me up,wish I could rest some more but work I have to get to work,the house is soo quiet maybe they all left ,let get going

Just Law Firm

"Strange,the look they are giving me is strange even Mrs Laila is not smiling,whatever"

"Good morning "Mr Derek I greeted as I entered the office, "morning Tilly" he replied at least there's one person normal here,I thought,"how was your night???" "great yours....?" the telephone rang and interrupt Mr Derek

I picked it,"this is just...." "it me Mr Patrick come to my office now" Mr Patrick said and end the call

"What wrong?" Mr Derek ask,"don't know" I said with a shrug,on getting to Mr Patrick office all members of just law firm are present

I look at Mr Derek wondering what wrong,"yesterday an evidence or should I say a gold bar got missing it was left inside my drawer here " Mr Patrick stated pointing to his desk

"am willing to let it go if the culprit confess,"the office was dead silent for some minutes,before Mr Patrick said

"Tilly am very disappointed in you," "me? " "Yes you ,or you still plan on denying it,yesterday you are the only one that came into my office to take file when everyone left

I know Derek can't do that,but I never expected you to do this," I laughed and look at him "so you think I took it right?

how can you be so sure?" I asked,"you and Derek are the last to leave here and Derek told me you came in here for file so who else if not you?"

"Mr Patrick you surprise,you can't even trust me," "why would I ? I don't even know you that well,so where is it?" " Where is what?"I asked

"you still plan on denying,where is the gold bar Tilly?provide it and I will forget this happens," "how can I have something I don't take? " "Tilly stop the games and bring it out"

I sigh and look at Stephanie she has that look of pity,Felix blank look,henry as if he's less concern

The barristers disappointment even Mrs laila,but Sara I smiled now I guess what wrong,it my sis after all she got me this time,"don't worry I will remove that smug look" I thought

"Tilly don't make me report you to your school " Mr Patrick threatened,"do as you please the gold bar is not with me " I said and turn to leave but Sara draw my bag and the gold bar fell

"Now it makes sense" I thought,"wow!! it was you after all,you keep denying it but it was you,"I laugh and replied "you think gold bar is my problem

I can get hundred gold bar if I want so why should I take one," "you are really thick face aren't you you keep on denying even when we found the gold bar on you,you think am that stupid?"

"Am not sooo stupid to bring the gold bar I stole to the office if I stole it " I replied

"I have no choice but to call your school and inform them " Mr Patrick said picking up his phone to call,"Mr Patrick how can you be so sure she took it"

Mr Derek interrupted for the first time,"you were here when the gold bar fell out of her bag" Mr Patrick said,"sooooo? I can tell she was frame after all we were the only one left here yesterday

what if I took it and put in her bag??" Mr Derek said which made me smile "at least somebody believe me," I thought

" i know you can't do that " Mr Patrick said "then why can't you believe Tilly?" Mr Derek asked, "she's new and I don't know her too well "

sooo you decided not to believe her right? Mr Derek asked again,since you don't believe her

"How about give her sometime to prove herself,what do you think?" Mr Patrick looked at the both of us and nod,"just two days" he said.

"Mr Derek,thank you,thank you soooo much," "don't thank me am just doing what's right,I would have done so even if it some one else" he replied I smiled "he's not that bad" i thought

"Why do you believe me though? " I asked,"we were soo busy yesterday that you won't have time for gold bar

and when the gold bar fell out of your bag,I know you were framed,and I think I know who frame you" he said "who?" I asked, "it Felix " he replied I laughed "you got that wrong Mr Derek it my dearest sis Sara"

"You mean your sister?" "Yes step sister I replied,we have some kind of history and she hates me sooo am sure she's the one, she's very good in scheming"

'I see we have to prove to them that you are not the one" Mr Derek said "right? Any Idea ? ' i asked looking at him,"hmmm let's check the CCTV"

He replied,"but Sara is not that stupid she must have avoid the CCTV," I said,he nod his head and replied "there's one she can't avoid ,let check it out."

We are at the security room,on the third floor,"not here either "Mr Derek said,"this shows her entering the office but it not enough to prove she did it" I replied

"Like I said there's one she can't avoid" Mr Derek said and check the hidden camera

"here " he said pointing to Sara ,I smile it truly hidden no one would have thought there's a camera there,and it shows how Sara took the gold bar,"this is what we need," Mr Derek said and copied the file

" are you sure?" Mr Patrick asked looking at me with confusion,"yes " I replied with a smile,"well let see" he said ,"here" I said inputting the copied file into the office computer

"Sister what are you trying to do? Everyone know you stole the gold bar,why deny it?" I smiled and replied" why do you seems anxious?"

"am not ,am just been...." "never mind sis let just see" I said cutting her off,I look around ,great everyone is here

Wonder how Sara will deal with this,I click on the enter button and they all saw what happen,Sara grew pale,"bullshit " Mr Patrick said hitting the table

"You are really something Sara ,you did that to your own sister,your own sister for Christ sake, " "I......I....it a...misunderstanding i....i...."she said stammering
