Chapter 61
The next day at work, Nicole handed Allison a couple of cases.
She hurried over, case files in hand, speaking a mile a minute, "This client wants to appeal. Their previous lawyer
just left, so it's all yours now. The appeal deadline is looming, so you need to draft the appeal and get all the
materials ready for the court today.
“And there's this workers' comp case. You'll need to take the client for an injury assessment and a work capacity
evaluation. Try to get that done today or tomorrow. Tomorrow's Friday, so let's not push it to next week."
Allison nodded repeatedly, taking the files. "Got it."
Jumping right into work with cases... Well, Oak Lake Law Firm really is the top firm in the city.
Being busy is no problem; more cases mean commissions and lots of experience to gain.

Allison touched base with the clients and skimmed through the evidence. These cases were quite the puzzle.
She set up a meeting with the client for the workers' comp evaluation tomorrow. Today, she had to focus on
getting that appeal filed.
By the tAllison wrapped up her tasks, it was already pitch black outside. Her coworkers had left ages ago.
She was the last one in the sprawling office.
Working so late meant she hadn't even had tto grab dinner.
Allison straightened up her desk, turned off the lights, locked up, and headed out. Her apartment was just a ten-
minute walk from the office, so she always walked to work.
That's when Joshua called. "Allie, are you hyet?"
"Just got off work, on my way now."
“Did you have dinner?” Joshua asked.
"Not yet, no time. | was thinking of ordering takeout once | get home."
Joshua teased, “Ms. Allison, your delivery is en route."
"Really? Did you order takeout for me?"
Joshua's voice was lighthearted, "Delivery guy Joshua is on his way."
Allison laughed. "You're bringingfood?"
"Yep," Joshua's tone was warm and soft. "I'll be at your place in about fifteen minutes.”
Fifteen minutes-perfect timing. It would take her about ten minutes to reach her building's entrance. Joshua sure
knew how to tthings right.
In Allison's mind, Joshua wasn't the joking type. Calling himself a delivery guy was a far cry from his usual
aloofness.
Recently, she noticed how Joshua seemed different from the distant guy she remembered.

The mood lifted with Joshua's playful banter, and Allison joked back, "Have you gotunder surveillance? You
know, invading privacy is against the law.”
Joshua's deep voice was incredibly alluring. “So, are you going to arrest me? I'm at your disposal."
The way he said “at your disposal" in that slow, sultry tone had Allison blushing.
“Uh-hum,” she cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment, changing the topic, "Don't chat while driving. It's
dangerous."

Joshua seemed to chuckle. "The driver is driving.”
Allison coughed embarrassingly. She chatted with Joshua all the way to her apartment complex.
A sweet smile lingered on her lips, her voice bright, absorbed in the call, she didn't notice the man standing
under the tree at the entrance.
“Allison.” Shawn's voice cut through the night, sending a chill down her spine.
