Eva had always had a thing for younger men, even if they were slightly younger than she was, she loved the feeling of being superior even if it was with age, and with age comes experience and wisdom. All her serious relationships were with men younger than herself, and it was no surprise to her close friends when she tied the knot fifteen years ago to a man seven years her junior, but to the rest of the world, and especially her family it was quite a surprise. She was 29 at the time, and he was 22.<br/><br/>She encouraged him to go to law school when he was unhappy with his accounting job, paid his tuition and helped him study as well, molding him into the perfect guy for her.<br/><br/>She stood by him during his downfall, even though she had always told him that this case was a bad idea, and that criminal law was also a bad idea since all the money was in corporate law, which was her field of choice.<br/><br/>His depression was a bit too much for her to handle, and after a year of that she finally snapped, and her outlet was an 18-year-old pool boy, pretty cliché but it felt good. Once that line was crossed, she fell into the rabbit hole of adultery. A few one night stands, and a few short affairs, but her longest one was her current affair with Jim.<br/><br/>She had known Jim from the days he was an intern at the firm, Smith & Rogers. She couldn’t believe that he was barely 21 and had a law degree from Yale. She was curious about him and kept an eye on him, professionally even though he was a very good looking guy. From their first case together, she saw what Alan Rogers saw in him when he hired him, and immediately taking him under her wing, she needed someone like him on her team. He was a little rough around the edges, but she polished him off nicely, teaching him the same way Brendan Smith and Alan Rogers have taught her. She had a hand in all of his promotions, he deserved them, and she fought hard to get him what he deserves, to keep him at the firm, he was an asset to have.<br/><br/>Getting Jim from partner to name partner was slightly a different story, that happened after the two of them ended up in the sack, they have been sleeping together for almost six months when she managed to overpower Alan into resigning and giving Jim his spot as name partner. “Health reasons” she argued against him, proving that he was unfit to continue his role as managing partner, to hand that position down to Brendan Smith.<br/><br/><strong>”Don’t be ridiculous”</strong>Eva shot back at her husband who suggested that her top was revealing<strong>”business casual, and we’re lawyers, so we still have to keep up some appearances, my dress is fine”</strong>she said dismissing him<strong>”I won’t be able to make the soccer match tonight so make sure that you do”</strong>she said, always putting her career ahead of his. Lately she’s been missing more of her kids’ extra-curricular activities, some due to work, others due to spending time with Jim.<br/><br/>She grabbed a quick bite, and headed out, getting into her brand-new Range Rover and driving to downtown, where Smith Walters Hernandez was located. She called her secretary on the way, telling her to pick up Jim’s gift on her way to work, and to make lunch reservations for two.<br/><br/><strong>”Morning”</strong>she said as she walked into Jim’s office, seeing him on the phone. She took a seat on the other side of the table and waited for him to finish up.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
