Chapter 124: That Burden
Rain, along with the rest of the team, headed to a grilling restaurant by the bay as the clock struck six in the evening. Their plan was to enjoy a meal with some alcoholic drinks.
Marlon and Matt took charge of the grilling while Rain engaged in lively conversation, eagerly awaiting the delicious grilled meat. She relished the grilled pork and beef wrapped in lettuce, savouring each bite.
"It’s been a while since we’ve had a team dinner like this!" Jane exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She turned to Henry and added, "Thank you for treating us tonight, Prosecutor Wayne!"
Rain smiled, watching Jane’s enthusiasm. Although Henry was undoubtedly a young and attractive man, Rain felt a pang of loyalty to her husband. She glanced at her phone, frowning as she saw that Alexander still hadn’t read her messages.
Rock: Daughter-in-law, I’ve instructed Rico to pick you up instead.
Rain: Thank you, Father. I’ll likely be later than expected, so I’ll call Rico directly. Please rest early. Goodnight.
"Shit!" Marlon suddenly exclaimed, breaking Rain’s thoughts. He looked at her and added, "Did you guys mention to Prosecutor Clayton that Attorney Paul Smith came looking for her?"
Matt and Jane shook their heads, and Rain’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. So, Paul knew she was now working in the prosecution office. ’How shameless. That man had the nerve to look for me!’ Rain thought, feeling a surge of frustration.
"Why did you transfer here? I heard Smith Law Firm offers quite a good salary," Henry asked, catching everyone’s attention.
Rain gulped as she realized all eyes were on her.
"It’s a personal choice," Rain replied nonchalantly. "Working in the prosecution office was always my first choice after passing the bar exam."
