Chapter 27. The Trial Day

Elsie's POV

"All arise."

Everyone in the courtroom stood up as they waited for the judge who entered to sit down before doing so.

Today was the day of the case, it was my first court appearance with Granville Law and I could see the way the whole room noticed the change in sitting arrangement.

Beside us, on the far end of the room, Esme stood, as always, she was dressed seductively, ready to go all out in front of everybody. Little did she know that when in the court, appearance sure played a role but it was more about wits.

She seemed startled to see me, I knew for a fact she was aware of my new job but maybe she wasn't expecting to see me in this particular case.

Ignoring her, I fixed my gaze on Albie, looking extremely dashing as always, he was calm and collected as he waited for it to begin.
