#41 “She Changed the Contract.”
Emily paced nervously outside Alexander’s office. He had called his lawyer Steven. She couldn’t hear their conversation, but she was definitely going to do her best to find out what was going on. The moment the lawyer came out of the office, Emily headed straight for him.
“Steven, may I have a moment of your time?” Emily asked, her tone polite but with a hint of urgency. Steven hesitated for a moment, his eyes darting between Emily and Alexander’s closed office door. “Of course, Emily. What can I help you with?”
Emily motioned toward a nearby quiet corner, away from prying ears. “Let’s talk over there, away from any potential eavesdroppers.”
