It was the firm's receptionist.
She held an envelope in her hand, smiling as she pushed the door open and walked in. "Ms. Grant, someone just dropped this off at the front desk. They said it had to be handed to you personally!"
"Oh, thank you. You can just give it to me."
Evelyn Grant didn't think much of it.
After all, as a lawyer, she often received packages from clients. Envelopes like this usually just contained case files or evidence.
After the receptionist set the envelope down, she turned and left the office.
Evelyn Grant didn't open it right away, choosing to finish the work at hand first.
A new case required her to verify information, while an older one needed evidence organized.
Each task was thorny and unavoidable.
She was so busy that before she knew it, it was almost time to leave work. Only then did Evelyn Grant finally look up from her computer.
She glanced at her phone. Besides two messages from Ryan Sterling, there was also a missed call.
