    ... looked forward to seeing. Rhonda was always a sweetheart, and although Rachel knew she could tell her anything, she wasn’t about to candidly discuss her most personal thoughts because: 1. She couldn’t always handle Rhonda’s brutal honesty 2. Casey was Rhonda’s friend too, so she couldn’t vent all her negative feelings 3. If Rhonda knew her biggest secret it would make things awkward between them Her other colleague, Richard, was an eccentric man. Although she considered him a friend, he functioned on an entirely different wave length than Rachel. The big boss who owned that law firm was none other than Victor Alistair. He was old enough to retire, but there was no way he was going to step down when he had worked so hard to attain his position.

Little did she know that as she sat there with her head down on her arm, Gabriel King had just so happened to walk by her office. He was now standing in the threshold of her door that had remained ajar, staring at his best friend’s girl. Yes, Rachel’s boss was Casey’s partner in crime.
