Chapter 408: New Master
Rain was back at work, and this time, she felt truly energized. Megan’s presence brought a sense of normalcy and support that she hadn’t realized she missed so much. It reminded her of the good old days at Smith Law Firm.
"Prosecutor Lancaster, this report... something seems off here," Megan commented, pointing to a specific detail in the documents she was reviewing.
Rain smiled warmly. "Ah, I’ve really missed you, Megan, and your sharp eyes. I’m so glad you’re here, working close to me again."
Megan chuckled softly. "It’s an honor to be here too!"
Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. Marlon entered, carrying a paper bag, but as soon as Rain caught a whiff of his cologne, her stomach churned. She bolted to the restroom and began throwing up.
Megan quickly followed and was at her side, gently stroking her back. "Are you okay?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.
Marlon stepped closer, looking confused, but the moment he approached, Rain started retching again.
"Marlon, that smell, stay away from me!" Rain managed to say between breaths, her face pale.
"What smell?" Marlon muttered, sniffing his shirt. "Oh, you mean this cologne? Someone from the third floor was selling perfumes and sprayed this on me, saying it suited me."
Megan suddenly blurted out, "Are you pregnant?"
Rain didn’t respond, her silence speaking volumes. Megan’s eyes widened, and she turned to Marlon. "Go out for a while. I think she can’t stand the smell of your cologne. You’re making her nauseous. Better yet, change your shirt before you come back."
