any < Chapter 8 Chapter88 Lennon nodded.âOkay, Iâll visit you often âAlright. Iâll go up now. Bye.â
Mariela was abour to get out of the car.
At this time, her phone rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it, her brow furrowing.
âMaricla, Iâm in New York. Can we meet up?â
The next day at work, Skyla gave Mariela two cases.
Skyla gave the case files to Mariela and said quickly, âThe client in this case wants to appeal. The previous lawyer quit, so itâs your job now. The appeal deadline is soon, so write the appeal document today and submit it to the court.
âAnd this work injury case, you need to take the client for an injury assessment and labor capacity evaluation. Try to do it today or tomorrow, Tomorrow is Friday, so donât delay until next week.â
Mariela took the files and nodded. âOkayâ
Mariela inwardly marveled, Truly deserving of its reputation as New Yorkâs top law firm. Iâve just started and already have so many cases to work on.
Being busy was good because it meant earning money and gaining experience..
Mariela talked to the dients and looked at the evidence. These cases were complicated.
She scheduled the injury assessment for tomorrow and focused on the appeal case today.
When Mariela finished her work, it was dark.
Her colleagues had left, leaving her alone in the firm.
She hadnât eaten dinner yet.
Mariela cleaned her desk, turned off the lights, locked up, and left.
Her apartment was a tenâminute walk from the firm, so she walked to work daily.
Lennon called.
âMarie, are you home?â
Just finished work, walking home.â
Lennon asked, âHave you eaten?â
âNo, I havenât had the time. I Iâll order takeout once I home.â
Lennon joked, âMs. Logan, your takeout is coming.â
âHuh? You ordered takeout for me?â
Lennon laughed, Delivery guy Lennon Stark here.â
Mariela laughed and asked, âYouâre bringing my meal?â
âYes,â
Lennonâs voice was soft, Ill be there In about fifteen minutes Fifteen minutes was s perfect She would reach the apartment in ten minutes.
Lennon was good at timing Mariela thought Lennon wasnât someone who joked Calling himself a delivery guy was very different from Lennonâs usual cold behavior.
Lately, she noticed Lennon wasnât the distant teenager she knew.
