The Negotiations

Two women sat in the conference room. They were supremely confident.

The brunette was Hannah Cox a famous for defending women in high stakes divorce cases and women who accused men of sexual harrassment.

The blonde was Cori Evans-Muller, who had married Charles Muller after his first wife had passed away. Charles was an engineering professor and Cori had been a receptionist at the college of engineering. Charles had one son Clark who was 12 at the time. Seven years later, Charles died tragically in an auto accident. He had just invented a new device to purify gray water and had sold the patent for millions. He had been updating his will when he died.

Cori and his son Clark were battling over the estate. Cori wanted 67% of the estate claiming she had quit her job as a receptionist and Charles had promised she would not have to work again and Clark had a full ride scholarship.

The two women had sipped water until Clark and his attorney came in.
