Nicole went to the firm with a beatific feeling in her system that was typically replaced by stress after about an hour at the office. Today things were somewhat different. She barely got to enjoy her euphoric morning before it was ruined by the presence of her Tyler. He barged into her office without knocking, a contemptible habit of his. He was smirking in a hubristic manner that made Nicole want to punch him in the face. She'd never do that, but she enjoyed entertaining the idea.

"Good morning, Nikki," Tyler cooed, attempting to sound charming. He practically hummed the nickname that she despised him using.

"What do you want, Tyler?" she demanded, moving papers out of his sight. She wouldn't put it passed him to attempt to discover what she was working on so he could somehow weasel his way into her cases. He had done it before when he was trying to get her to date him.

"I was just wondering how much money you gave her," Tyler said with a strange glint in his eyes. He appeared so confident for a reason that was beyond Nicole.

"Gave who money?" Nicole arched an eyebrow.

"Dane. I know she had to scam some money out of you, playing up the fact that it's her birthday."

"Her birthday?" Nicole glanced away briefly, devoting her attention to searching her memory rather than paying Tyler any mind. She tried to remember the date on Danny's driver's license, but couldn't. "How do you know it's her birthday? You don't seem to care too much about her."

"I have my ways." He shrugged.

"What ways?" She required proof before believing him.

He rolled his eyes. "Fine. My aunt Christine called around looking for the birthday girl. It's something she does, for whatever reason." She hadn't expected such a quick and easy answer, but then she remembered he was trying to get back into her good graces.

"She didn't say anything," she muttered with a frown. She couldn't believe Danny kept silent about it being her birthday.

"What? You're kidding? She didn't come to you begging for money since it's her special day? She's such a bum. She always begs people for stuff, money especially. You know she'll just use it for drugs," Tyler stated smugly, folding his arms across his chest.

"She doesn't use drugs," Nicole countered tensely, glaring at him.

Tyler flinched. His forehead wrinkled as a puzzled expression conquered his face. She would wager that his pea-brain was wondering why she was so hostile toward him. Then, he was suddenly back to normal. He marched closer to her desk with a determined stride.

"She didn't do anything to you already, did she? You're trying to defend her. If she did something, just tell me right now. I'll have her removed from your house immediately," Tyler declared. "That filthy bitch is disgusting and low, putting her hands on whatever, acting like she owns the damn world," he grumbled.

Nicole's eyes flashed as anger gushed out of her. A vein on her temple started throbbing, ready to poke out
