Until the very second the West Legal Services' seal was pressed onto the document, Dorothy's heart was in her throat.
But the process went incredibly smoothly, and the other party didn't hesitate for even a moment before signing.
"Do you... not want to consider it a bit more?"
"There’s no need for that." The manager looked at Dorothy, a smile playing on his lips, "Ms. Sanchez, do you doubt our capabilities here at West Legal Services?"
Dorothy quickly waved her hands and said, "No, it's just that I'm a bit surprised."
"We lawyers shouldn't be too picky about the cases we take on, or else we betray the very reason we took up the mantle! Rest assured, Ms. Sanchez, we'll give it our all."
"Then I'm counting on you, Lawyer Ephraim."
"My pleasure!"
Ephraim stood up personally to see Dorothy out, watching her leave the law firm before returning to his office.
No sooner had he sat down than he dialed a number, his voice now obsequious and fawning, a stark contrast to his composed demeanor with Dorothy.
"Mr. Lopez, everything's been done as you instructed."
"Good."
...
Karen had no idea where Jeffrey had taken her, but it must still be in Eldorria City given the temperature felt the same.
He owned so many properties, so she couldn't tell which one it was.
Waking from her slumber, her instinct was to reach for her phone.
It wasn't there.
Panicking, she propped herself up, vaguely aware of footsteps outside the room.
Barefoot, Karen walked out to find Jeffrey standing in the villa's dining area, an austere look on his face, instructing someone who looked like a housekeeper, who nodded occasionally in understanding.
Jeffrey, catching Karen in the corner of his eye, strode towards her.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
But Jeffrey's arms were long, and with a casual grab, he pulled her back onto the bed.
"Karen, I don't want to fight with you."
"Let me go! Jeffrey, you're illegally detaining me!"
But Jeffrey's laughter only grew stronger.
"Yesterday you accused me of coercion, today it's illegal detention, doesn't matter, I don't care."
Karen was left speechless in anger.
"Eat your meal nicely, and I promise I'll take you out for a drive, okay?"
Karen sensed something off in his words, so she pressed.
"Where will you take me?"
"How about the City Hall?" Jeffrey suggested, a hint of mischief in his voice. "What do you say?"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
