Chapter 137: New Endearment
Back at the office, Rain took her time discreetly reviewing the Obsidian Order case, making careful calls to Brandon to coordinate things closely. She couldn’t involve an investigator too much within the prosecution office, knowing eyes were on her, so she briefed Matt, emphasizing the need for confidentiality in all movements related to the Obsidian Order.
Next, she called Dr. Ivan to follow up on the files she had sent regarding her father-in-law’s case, urging him to prioritize it.
"You should come here; I can show you the progress in person. We’re working on this type of cancer, but we need test subjects... It’s not easy to conclude without them," Dr. Ivan explained, his voice laced with frustration. "Getting human subjects isn’t simple," he added with a heavy sigh.
"I understand. I’ll handle it and fly over on Friday night as planned, along with Clifford," she reassured him.
"What about Sanya? Is she not coming?" Ivan asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice. Rain went silent for a moment.
"Ask Clifford about it, Ivan. I’m at work, so I’ll have to hang up now," she said, cutting the conversation short and ending the call with a sigh. Even now, Sanya was still trying to reach out to her, and it weighed on her mind.
As the day drew to a close, Alexander called to let her know he was waiting in the parking lot. Rain smiled, practically giddy inside. For some reason, it felt good knowing her husband was there to pick her up, willing to wait for her.
At five sharp, nearly everyone had left the office, leaving Rain with only Henry and Matt. After stretching and wrapping up her work, she hurried out, not wanting to keep Alexander waiting too long. It was around 5:30 when she stepped out of her office.
"Are you staying late?" she asked Matt.
"Yeah, I need to finish this," he replied.
Rain bid him farewell, and just as she was about to leave, Henry’s office door opened.
