Chapter 26
*One week later*
Dana's POV:
"Okay, I finally found the facts," Alexia says, plopping down a file about two inches thick. I flip the pages. The number on the last page is 448.
"How is the statement of facts 448 pages long?" I mumble. I pray she doesn't hear me. I grab a highlighter. "What is this case about?"
"Someone falsely accused the firm of wage theft." She exhales a tired sigh. "Let's just say he butchered an important case."
"Who?" I ask, freezing up. There's has to be two possibilities.
"A law school graduate by the name of Lucas Alaister. He tried claiming he graduated a year earlier than he actually did. When we went to fire him, he quit. Apparently, he works somewhere in New York." She says. "Anyway, highlight and I need a better statement on facts that isn't 448 pages long."
"Who writes statement of facts that's 448 pages long?" I ask, not really expecting a real answer.
"Someone that doesn't want us to win." She leaves. "Oh, I'm getting coffee. We're going to be here a while."
"Caramel macchiato!" I yell. I don't know if she hears me. When I don't hear her footsteps, I pull out my phone. I see a notification.
Justin:
Sent a link.
Attorney Lawsuit turns out to be Fake.
Dana:
How did you know I was going to ask you that?
Justin:
I have my ways.
Alexia comes back with the coffees. She hands me the caramel macchiatto.
"The press already has a storyline," I say. She takes a sip before saying anything.
"Fucking hell."
We drink coffee. I highlight. She lets out a string of curse words every so often.
*Time Skip*
"Hey, the building is about to close." I look up from my work to see a janitor. I blush.
"Sorry, I didn't realize it was so late." I start quickly packing up.
"I didn't either." Alexia comes up from behind him. We leave together.
"Does that always happen?" I ask as we walk out together. It's dark as we walk down the street. "What time is it?"
"7:30," Alexia spoke. Because the apartment was so close to the firm, we were at my building in no time. "You'll be great here."
