Rise Of The Undefeated Lawyer

“The ride is thirty bucks.”

Vince dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve his Gucci wallet. The only pricy thing he had left of his belongings before his arrest. He retrieved his hand and a confused expression laced his haughty face.

“It was just here, I was certain I had it on me.” He soliloquized.

“Is there any problem?”

“I couldn’t find my wallet, I must have lost it on my way.”
