After Damon Steel left Judge Bill’s chambers, he went to the beach to clear his mind. At that moment, his phone started ringing. He took his phone from his suit jacket and said, “Hello.”

Brian Chandler replied, “Hello, Damon. Where are you?” Damon smiled and replied, “I am at the beach, my friend. Are you looking for me?” Damon took his car keys and replied, “I am on my way.” Then they hung up.

A few minutes later, Brian parked his car in the parking lot. Damon was sitting on the sand watching the waves. Brian sat beside him and asked, “Are you alright, Damon?”

Damon smiled at his friend and replied, “I will be, my friend. I knew that Miss Cage would humiliate me in court. Hence, I went to Judge Bill to apply for a motion to withdraw.

However, she denied my application because she thought Miss Cage would plead guilty.

I even disappointed my girlfriend because of her. We had our movie night yesterday, but I had to cancel because I was still busy preparing the closing arguments.”
