Chapter 85

Thalia went straight from the hospital to Sinclair & Klein to work overtime, organizing Mark’s case materials in preparation for filing a workplace injury claim when the Department for Work and Pensions opened on Monday.

After working all afternoon, she’d completely forgotten her promise to see Asher in the evening.

When Asher called, Thalia was still reviewing case documents.

“Lia, where are you? I’ll come pick you up.”

“What?” Thalia snapped back to reality. “Oh! I forgot to tell you, I’m working late at the office.”

“Working late?” Asher sounded puzzled. “Weren’t you shopping with Charlotte and Victoria?”

Thalia tilted her head, holding the phone between her shoulder and ear while typing. “No, I received an urgent case and had to rush back to work.”

“Have you eaten?” Asher asked.

“Not yet.”

“I’ll come pick you up for dinner. The work can wait until tomorrow–it’s getting quite late.”

Thalia glanced at the time in the corner of her computer screen. “All right, I’m at the firm. You can come directly here.”

Asher replied, “Good. Wait for me. I’ll be there in about twenty minutes.”

“Mmm.”

After hanging up, Thalia leaned back in her office chair, staring absently at the case materials on her

screen.

Mark’s case wasn’t particularly complex, and the chances of winning were high.

But judging by the factory’s attitude, they would certainly be reluctant to pay compensation.

This was a labor dispute, which meant the first step was labor arbitration.

After arbitration, if the factory contested the decision, they could still file a lawsuit.

The litigation process was complicated and lengthy. Although the final outcome would most likely be favorable, Mark couldn’t afford to wait.

He needed the money for treatment, and Teresa needed it too.

Today Thalia had covered their medical expenses, but that was far from enough.

Given the siblings‘ current situation, even their basic daily needs were an issue.
