Chapter 184: Board of Prosecutors
Rain was focused, pouring herself into her work at the office, but there were moments when she had to step out, like today, for a routine meeting with the Violent Crimes Unit. As soon as the meeting concluded, she gathered her things, ready to leave, when Prosecutor Ana Miller from the White-Collar Crime Unit caught her eye and smirked.
"I’m surprised to see you working with all the scandal swirling around you," Ana mocked, her voice loud enough to draw attention.
Rain smiled, calm and composed. "I don’t see why I shouldn’t come to work just because of it."
Ana’s smirk deepened. "Right. It’s interesting how you’re still using Clayton instead of Lancaster. It makes me wonder if the rumours are true after all."
Rain noticed the lingering eyes of those still in the room, but she remained unfazed. With a casual shrug, she responded, "Let’s stick to discussing work-related matters, Prosecutor Miller. I don’t believe we’re close enough for me to explain anything about my personal life." Without waiting for a reply, she turned and added, "See you around," before walking out.
Ana’s expression twisted with anger. "What an arrogant woman! Who does she think she is? I can’t wait for the board to summon her and address this scandal. She’s going to ruin the prosecution’s credibility at this rate!"
Rain heard Ana’s final insult before the door closed behind her. She sighed, knowing it was just a matter of time before the Board of Prosecutors summoned her to address the situation.
"I should’ve updated my status yesterday," she muttered under her breath. She had planned to do it today, but Dina had already made a scene and created a scandal for her.
As she made her way down the hall, she saw Henry who seemed to be waiting for someone with her back leaning on the wall. "So, is it true? Is your marriage a sham?" he asked with a teasing smirk.
