(Olivia’s POV)
On my first day officially joining Moonlaw, Amber Foster met me in the lobby, her professional smile firmly in place.
“Welcome to Moonlaw, Miss Winters. Let me show you around.”
She escorted me through the firm’s vast headquarters, introducing me to colleagues and explaining the workplace structure. The building was impressively organized, divided into distinct departments.

As I settled at my desk, Heather appeared in the doorway, wearing an apologetic
expression.
