Tessa turned off the computer after she finished organizing the case documents. When she exited the firm, it was already 8:30 pm. She stood in front of the building for a moment before receiving a call from Stephen.

"What happened?" Tessa asked.

"I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you everything in person once I've handled the issue."
