I nod, and then wince because even that hurts "Made ht"

"Camille?" she asks, but she knows the answer to that While I haven't told Mac about what happened between Macy andabout her, she does know that I've been having a hard ti with Camille

"I broke things off with her last night," I tell her as I take a sip froer ale on my desk

"I'd like to say I'm sorry," Mac says in a kind voice "But she wasn't the one for you"

"What makes you say that?"

"Because you weren't the one for her," she says simply "She left you behind

"Ouch," I say with mock hurt

"You know it's true," she tells me firmly "If it was o You would have kept the relationship going What you've been doing with her these last several weeks? Just a waste of time, my friend"

Not a total waste of time, I think to myself At least it kept me occupied and away from Macy

I give an acco s toher last night, I'm ready to move past it

"So what's up?" I ask her, knowing she needs help on a case I know this because the only time we seem to end up in each other's offices are e need to pick the other's brain about so the day that we don't see each other If it wasn't for our standing weekly dinner date where we spend half the ti friends, Mac and I could end up going weeks so each other because of our hectic schedules

Mac's eyes lower to the ground, and she nibbles on her bottom lip

Oh, shit ThatI won't like I i to tith aI'll abhor doing

She pulls her gaze up, takes a deep breath, and lets it out "Macy got sued, and she needs someone to represent her"

And just the le even as ood idea," I say iood business to represent friends and family members"

Mac's eyes light up, and she nods her head vigorously Leaning forward toward ree with you, which is totally why I can't represent her, but you're not her friend or her family member You can totally do it"

"Wait What?" I say quickly "No, I can't represent her"

"Why not, Cal?" Mac asks beseechingly

"You don't have any personal ties to her"

I fucked her in the kitchen pantry, and she sucked my cock after I totally have personal ties to her

Before I can even try to come up with an excuse, Mac rolls on "And besides this lawsuit needs so her"

I can't fucking help myself "What's the suit about?"

"It's an alienation-of-affection suit," she says, her eyes actually twinkling

Well, shit That is right up my alley I actually helped a buddy of mine from law school defend one down in North Carolina last year, and I totally shredded the other side It's a fascinating type of case It's a law that allows a spouse to sue another person who breaks up a e It usually occurs when one spouse has an affair, and the jilted spouse will sue theCrazy-ass law, but a lot of people take advantage of it Especially when the person being sued is rich, as Macy Carrington is

"Where's the suit filed?" I ask her, because New York abolished these types of claims and only seven states allow them

"Utah," she says

"Macy went to Utah?" I ask stupidly, and evendetails about the case

Mac shakes her head "No Apparently, it was a businessman from Utah that flew to New York several tiht Only"

Fuck A hts with e? And how in the hell did the wife in Utah find out? And I wonder if she fucked this guy as good as she fucked me?

Christ, why in the hell a that?

Shaking my head adamantly, I even hold my hands up defensively in front of me "No way, Mac I can't do it"

Nope Can't do it I cannot be in close proximity to Macy I can't deal with her on a case I can't even be in the sa to--
