Chapter 122: Group Chat
At the Prosecution Office
Across the room, Matt, Marlon and Jane exchanged confused glances, clearly puzzled by Rain’s sudden arrival.
"Do you think she’s fit to work already?" Jane asked. She had been the one to relay Rain’s call earlier in the morning, informing them that Rain wouldn’t be at the office today. Yet here she was, asking for simple cases just before lunch.
"She’s focusing on these smaller cases now. What happened to the Obsidian Order case? She seemed so determined to keep control of it before," Marlon commented, with Jane nodding in agreement.
"Let her be for now. She had a mild concussion, so she’s taking things easy," Matt said, shrugging it off. He then turned to Jane and asked, "When will Prosecutor Wayne’s trial be finished?"
"Oh, it should be wrapped up by around three this afternoon. Do you think today’s a good day for a group dinner?" Jane asked.
Matt nodded. "I’ll inform Prosecutor Clayton and check with Prosecutor Wayne to see if he’s available."
They were interrupted when Rain stepped out of her office and called Marlon. "I’ll start with this," she said, handing him some papers. "Prepare all the steps with Jane to initiate the process and schedule a trial."
She then turned to Matt. "Come to my office. We need to discuss the evidence and witness statements."
Matt followed her into the office, leaving Marlon and Jane to handle the necessary tasks.
Inside Rain’s office, Matt couldn’t hide his confusion. "Are you going to let go of the Obsidian Order case?" he asked.
