Upon hearing Sheena's words, Elisa immediately retorted, "What? Am I not even allowed to come to the office now?"
"Of course, you can come. You're an important partner. How could you not?" Sheena said with a laugh, playfully scolding Elisa with a glance.
Following that, she brewed a cup of coffee for Elisa.
The coffee was of the finest Black Ivory variety, purchased by Sheena.
Elisa also reminisced about the time after her divorce from Gareth when she, Sheena, and Rachel were all working tirelessly together at the firm. She had originally intended to live her own life but ended up being constantly delayed by one thing after another.
"Why isn't Rachel around? Did she go out to handle a case?" Elisa took a sip of her coffee and put it down. Immediately after, she turned to Sheena and inquired about Rachel's whereabouts.
Sheena confessed to Elisa truthfully. "Rachel recently took on a very tricky case. She has to defend a man claiming innocence, but the victim's father is from the Gardner family, a man of some reputation in Bayswe. How can an ordinary citizen fight against a scion? Moreover, the Gardner family has made their threats known."
Upon hearing what Sheena had said, Elisa instantly understood. Rachel was the type of person who would enjoy a challenge. The more difficult a task was, the more determined she was to accomplish it. Moreover, she wanted to prove herself.
"What's the situation with Rachel now?" Elisa started to worry about Rachel.
Rachel had never mentioned those things to Elisa. Even though Vincent was by Rachel's side, Elisa was still very worried.
"There isn't much going on. Vincent is helping her handle the case. These two weren't as tumultuous as before. I'm sure they could make it work this time!" As for their feelings, Sheena was quite certain about what was going on.
Elisa was also quite pleased. If Vincent and Rachel could successfully become a couple, it would indeed be a great joy for everyone around them. When the time came for them to get married, there would certainly be a grand celebration.
