Lennon nodded.“Okay, I’ll visit you often
“Alright. I’ll go up now. Bye.”
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.
“Maricla, I’m in New York. Can we meet up?”
The next day at work, Skyla gave Mariela two cases.
Skyla gave the case files to Mariela and said quickly, “The client in this case wants to appeal. The previous lawyer quit, so it’s your job now. The appeal deadline is soon, so write the appeal document today and submit it to the court.
“And 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 don’t delay until next week.”
Mariela took the files and nodded. “Okay”
Mariela inwardly marveled, Truly deserving of its reputation as New York’s top law firm. I’ve 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 hadn’t eaten dinner yet.
Mariela cleaned her desk, turned off the lights, locked up, and left.
Her apartment was a ten–minute walk from the firm, so she walked to work daily.
Lennon called.
“Marie, are you home?”
Just finished work, walking home.”
Lennon asked, “Have you eaten?”
“No, I haven’t had the time. I
I’ll order takeout once I home.”
Lennon joked, “Ms. Logan, your takeout is coming.”
“Huh? You ordered takeout for me?”
Lennon laughed, Delivery guy Lennon Stark here.”
Mariela laughed and asked, “You’re bringing my meal?”
“Yes,”
Lennon’s 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 wasn’t someone who joked
Calling himself a delivery guy was very different from Lennon’s usual cold behavior.
Lately, she noticed Lennon wasn’t the distant teenager she knew.
