Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 109

In the courthouse lobby, Josiah wasn’t alone. He had brought Gibert with him,

“It’s like this. Gilbert glanced at Josiah, who was leaning back in is chair, looking completely detached.

He pulled a stack of papers from his briefcase. “Sienna, these are for you from Mr. Flynn. You never got around to taking care of the paperwork, so while we’re here, go ahead and sign everything. I’ll handle the rest.

“Okay,” said Sienna.

Once all the signatures were in place and her fingerprint was stamped, Sienna wiped her hands with a wet napkin just as Josiah returned.
