Chapter 21: Wedding Bands
Despite the earlier revelations, Rain managed to stay focused and quickly wrapped up her work with time to spare. It was a good thing too. She needed a moment to clear her head, so she decided to use her free time to get some fresh air before her scheduled meeting with Mr. Rock.
Walking out and getting into her car, she drove around until she found a small park nearby where she could rest. As such, she parked her car and took a leisurely walk until she spotted a bench and sat down.
Lost in thought, Rain let herself relax until she was startled by a familiar voice.
"Oh... it’s really you, Attorney Clayton!"
Looking up, she saw Mr. Rock standing before her with a wide smile. For a moment, she was confused.
"Your hair?" she muttered, remembering how he had looked the last time they met.
Back then, he had blonde hair. But at the moment, it was jet-black. In addition, she noticed an uncanny resemblance between him and Alexander Lancaster. It struck her as odd, and she couldn’t help but wonder if there was a connection between them.
"Oh, that... I was wearing a wig last time," he explained with a grin. "But I guess I don’t need one right now."
Rain couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy at the explanation despite her curiosity. Why would he wear a wig before? Still, she reminded herself that it wasn’t her place to pry into a client’s private matters unless they offered the information.
