    Chapter 809


    “An outsider. A… former friend, but we’re


    not in touch anymore,” Grace said with a


    wry smile.


    Lawyer Carter said thoughtfully, “You’ll have to thank your friend. Without this person, you wouldn’t be


    able to go back to working as awyer now.”


    Grace was relieved when she got out of Lawyer Carter’s office. To be honest, she


    was worried that her new boss would


    insist on finding out who had helped her


    to reverse the case.


    Back at her desk, Grace started getting


    used to the task at hand.


    She had also worked as an assistant for half a year when she first joined the industry. She could adapt


    to the job quickly now that she was back at it. It may be a bit trivial, but it was not


    difficult.


    Andrea Schwartz sauntered up to her desk to say hello and beat around the bush about Jason, which


    Grace ignored.


    At the end of the day, Grace was about


    to leave when Andrea Schwartz said,


    “Hey, Grace has just joined us today. How about we hold a weing party for our


    new colleague?”


    Someone chimed in at once, “Yeah,


    yeah! Let’s wee our new colleague!”


    “Yes, it’s rare to have a woman join us. We must wee her well!”


    “Let’s go together!”


    Grace was too embarrassed to refuse.


    After all, she was a neer, and some socializing was necessary. If she did not fit in on her first day,

    she would find it hard to stay in this job.


    Besides,working mattered forwyers.


    Therefore, even though it was Andrea Schwartz who suggested it, which was


    clearly a hostile m


    choice but to agree.


    At the same time, she was also guessing what Andrea Schwartz was trying to do. Surely, she did not


    genuinely mean to


    throw her a weing party.


    Grace only applied for the position of an assistant, so the so-called wee party was only attended


    by the inexperiencedwyers of the firm and staff members who were in the same assistant position


    as Grace.


    However, there were a dozen of them as


    well!


    It was only when they reached their


    destination that Grace realized they hade to Drunken Days.


    Drunken Days was one of Emerald City’s better-known high-end entertainment venues and was usually


    a ce for the wealthy. Althoughwyers had a pretty good ie, those who could afford this ce


    were the firm’s several bosses


    and bestwyers.


    However, under Andrea Schwartz’s leadership, the crowd got into the private room and started ordering


    all sorts of things that were on the menu.


    Grace narrowed her eyes slightly, and a


    vague unease rose in her heart.


    When the dishes arrived, Grace estimated that it would cost at least tens


    of thousands.


    Even if everyone went dutch, each of them would probably have to pay 6,000 or 7,000 dors.


    Although this figure was bearable for these colleagues, it was too much for her.


    ‘Is this what Andrea Schwartz is nning to do?’ Grace thought to herself.


    However, now that the food was served, there was no point for her to say or do


    anything.


    She had 6,000 to 7,000 thousand dors


    on hand, but after she paid for this meal,


    she would have to tighten her belt and


    pinch her pennies.
