10 paul

After leaving Hannah's office he went straight to John's house,John who had been expecting him had been standing and looking through the window saw him highlight from his car as he got into the Smiths mansion.

On seeing him they both walked silently to John's room locking the door behind them.

"any news yet"John asked

"you won't even greet me"Paul asked pretending to be annoyed

ignoring pauls behavior he simply sat down and waited for Paul to continue his drama.

Paul on the other hand wasn't surprised by his friends aloofness only God knows what would Change him anyways snapping from his thought.

"i met a judge you might like to accompany you"he paused only to be rewarded by John's attentiveness which he had come to be aware of, smirking he continued.

"I only gave her little of the information not all and if you ask me she's my bestie so treat her well if she ever accept the job"Paul who had not noticed John change in expression continued to talk until he was interrupted.

"A she,you mean she's a she,and your best friend you know how deadly this Job is and you went ahead for a she"John shook his head annoyingly.

"Hannah has been my best friend she's a strong lady grew up without anyone's help or underhand she's the only one I can suggest and think as suitable for the job trust me and yes she's the famous Hannah Rhoda Rhodes"This at least caught John's attention

"you are just three years older than her she's the youngest judge, legal and loyal person you will ever find,I can call her not to bother if don't see her fit for the job"Paul continued

John rolled his eyes at his friends cunniness.

"Fine so did she accept the job or what,did she say when to meet"John asked all at a go.

"First answer is not yet and second is i forgot to tell her that"he had forgotten,remembering she had asked him how to meet him and where but she had replaced it by telling him she will think about it .

"Fine we can meet in her office right or her home to make it discreet I can't risk anybody seeing me now"John concluded.

"I think she's free tommorow,I would call her and see if we can arrange your meeting together if she has no plans tommorow"

" ok so how is blossom and heaven"John asked

"They are doing great"Paul replied, remembering what Blossom had asked him he decided to test the waters.

"How about you get yourself a woman"he asked

"you know I can't beside who wants to marry a man who will rarely be around,you are lucky you got blossom you know"John replied as he observed the files which he had placed on his bed earlier studying them closely,

"you know my friend is actually single"Paul started.

"which of your friend"John asked nonchalantly,still observing the documents in his hand.

"Hannah"John who had being listening nonchalantly to Paul's words suddenly stopped what he was doing as he looked at Paul who was waiting for his reply.

"you are kidding right?"was the word John spoke.

"No I'm not and I am sure you won't regret having her by your side,if it doesn't work out it's okay I don't want her getting hurt though that's a warning dude we've been friends for two decades now so I know a lot about her she ain't a gold digger matter of fact she doesn't need any bodies wealth or help to decide who she is,I'll just tell you this you can think on it you deserve to be happy man"placing his hand on John's shoulder.

"If she's all that you've qualified her to be I just might try"John was tired of staying alone as well if not for those who had betrayed him before he wouldn't be in hiding or planning on revenging now, thanks to Paul he was alive now,one of the reason he trusted Paul's judgement.

Paul's phone rang it was his assistant lieutenant picking up.

"okay I will be on my way" replying the caller he hung up as he stood up and headed for the door, turning back he said.

"seems like I wont be going home today got something to work on see you later,and don't forget to think about what I said"John saw him out as he was left alone,some of the maids in the house had been chosen by Paul himself,John had wanted to kill them all after what happened years ago but Paul had forced him to retain some picking them himself.

Calling a maid to prepare his dinner,he left the sitting room.Heading back to his room pondering on what Paul has said earlier,very soon he would be thirty he wanted kids too and a wife to pamper but he hadn't met someone whom he could call his woman it was late already as he went to the bathroom to have a shower,when he was done he wore his pyjamas and laid flat on the bed he would be seeing her tommorow let's see how it goes. But the truth was could he mix work and relationship together he thought asking himself and what if she didn't like him smiling at his thoughts he hasn't even met her and he was already feeling this way,this got him even curious and eager to meet her he has seen her on TV and newspapers but he had taken her as one of those ladies who sold their body to be in post she is at her age did he sell his body before he be and the youngest General of armies his conscience scolded him,seeing Paul's confidence in her he was more than willing to try since Paul wouldn't decieve him after all they have been through.

"Master"a maids voice snapped him out of his thoughts the food his ready and the table has been set she completed without waiting for reply she left.

coming out of his room,he headed for the dining when he was done he went straight to the sitting room as the maid came to pack their masters plate to the kitchen, switching on the TV out of necessity he waited for thirty minutes before going back to his room as he brushed his teeth and laid in his bed, Tommorow would tell he thought before drowning in a peaceful slumber.
