Chapter 209: Join Forces
It was another morning, and Rain was back at work, just as she should be. As she expected, she had become the star of the prosecution office. Curious and intrigued glances followed her as she walked down the hallway. Whispers floated in the air, but she held her head high, determined to focus on her responsibilities despite the attention.
"Good morning," Rain greeted everyone in their department who acknowledged her, then headed straight to her private office. As soon as she sat down, her phone rang. It was the Chief Prosecutor’s secretary asking her to come to the Chief’s office.
"So early in the morning; I wonder what it is this time," she mumbled with a sigh before heading out.
Upon arriving, the secretary escorted her inside. Rain raised an eyebrow at the sight of Henry already inside, sharing laughter with Chief Prosecutor John Hart.
"Oh, there you are, Prosecutor Lancaster. Come, take a seat," the Chief instructed, and she sat opposite Henry.
"I called the two of you regarding the Obsidian Order case," John began. He turned to Rain and added, "You shouldn’t handle this case alone, especially given its complexity. I want you and Henry to work on it together."
Rain noticed the wide, satisfied grin on Henry’s face but kept her expression neutral. "Alright..."
"That’s good then," John continued. "Henry has been here for years and has a wealth of experience. I believe you’ll learn a lot from him, Prosecutor Lancaster."
Rain politely nodded and smiled at the chief. After a brief conversation about work, the Chief dismissed her and Henry.
As they exited, she murmured with a hint of irritation, "You really want to get your hands on this case, huh?"
Henry chuckled, his eyes gleaming with interest. "I told you, Rain, I want close involvement. It’s clear you won’t hand it over, so we might as well join forces."
