Eli nodded slightly. "Alright, Mr. Worthington. I'll go do it right away."
Soon, Eli arrived at the law firm and explained his purpose to the receptionist.
After a brief pause, she responded, "Mr. Duncan mentioned just a while ago that he's been busy with a lawsuit for his good friend. He won't be available for any other cases. You can wait until he's free."
Eli frowned. "But Mr. Worthington is in urgent need of his assistance. Can't Mr. Duncan spare even a day?"
"Mr. Duncan said this friend is very important to him. So, he specifically canceled all his other commitments for the sake of his good friend, and he's not available for anything else," the receptionist replied.
Eli was growing anxious. "Could you at least tell me who Mr. Duncan's good friend is? I might be able to talk to them and work something out."
"How should I know?" The receptionist glanced at something and immediately said to Eli, "Oh, look. There she is. I've never seen Mr. Duncan smile at anyone like that before."
Eli followed the receptionist's gaze and saw Leah, and he instantly froze.
"Miss... Miss Wilson?"
The receptionist asked curiously, "Oh, you know Mr. Duncan's friend? Then you don't need to worry. Just talk to her. If she can ask Mr. Duncan to deal with your case, he will certainly agree."
Eli thought, "Sharon and Leah are fighting the same lawsuit. Since Leah has hired Archie, she would never give up the opportunity."
Eli knew he couldn't solve this matter, so he might as well go back and tell Quentin about the situation.
"No need, thank you," Eli replied and left quickly.
The receptionist watched him leave with a puzzled look.
