Lucien had asked the question even though he already knew the answer. That young face had shown up on the

live stream earlier.

He couldn’t remember the intern’s name, but he distinctly remembered seeing him sitting in the back row.

A pretty boy, already cozying up to senior colleagues on day one?

“Oh, he’s one of the new interns,” Kaia explained.

“He was a little down because he submitted his first assignment late, so | just offered a few words of

encouragement on the way out.”

Honestly, she might as well have said nothing at all. Lucien only grew more jealous.

“Ah, | see,” he said coolly.

Kaia, oblivious to the tone in his voice, added, “Let's skip dinner out tonight. I'm wiped, and we have an early

morning tomorrow. Let’s just head home.”

“Sure,” Lucien replied.

Later, after dinner at home, Lucien pulled her into his lap in the

study and kissed her for what felt like an eternity-long enough that her legs nearly gave out.

Kaia’s eyes shimmered from the intensity of it, her cheeks flushed crimson. “Stop it,” she whispered breathlessly.

Lucien, his voice husky with restraint, said, “Alright, I'll let you off the hook-for tonight.”

If he didn’t stop now, he knew he wouldn't be able to hold back.

The next day at the law firm was a roller coaster of emotions. Sinterns were overjoyed, while others were

visibly deflated.

A few who had strutted in with confidenee didn’t perform as well as they'd expected, while others-like those who

had submitted work late-surprisingly did quite well.

Harry, however, still hadn't received any feedback. He sat quietly, doubt gnawing at him. Did this mean that,

because he lacked connections, he didn’t even deserve a result?

The production team was clearly playing up the suspense. The camera kept zooming in on Harry's face,

amplifying the tension.

In the observation room, Luna couldn't help but stir the pot.

“Oh, | suddenly feel kind of bad for Harry. Maybe he would've

passed if his intehadn't gone out last night,” she said with a faux sigh.

Kayla rolled her eyes. “Opportunities are for those who

are prepared,” she said sharply, clearly done with Luna's

commentary.

Eventually, Harry gathered his courage and knocked on Jude's office door. He was inside for a full half hour.

When he emerged, his eyes were red, and it looked like he'd been on the verge of tears.

“No way! Did Mr. Halston scold him until he cried?” Luna gasped, tically covering her mouth.

“Mr. Halston doesn’t scold people for no reason. He probably just gave him shonest feedback,” Oliver cut in,

clearly irritated.

Luna’s digs were constant, and her motives couldn’t have been more transparent. If it weren't for her

connections, he would've told her off long ago.

Kayla chimed in, echoing Oliver's sentiment, though she kept her tone light. “Mr. Hayes is right. It was probably

just a normal conversation. Nothing out of line.”

Luna narrowed her eyes, biting back a retort.

Kaia, meanwhile, had noticed Harry's defeated look. It reminded her of her own first courtroom cross-

examination- when a judge had left her completely speechless.

Quietly, without a word, she walked over and placed a tissue on his desk.

“Well, well,” Luna said with a mocking tone, “Ms. Domont sure seems to care a lot about the interns. | heard

she’s Mr. Halston’s favorite apprentice.”

Kayla had had enough. “So what if she is? Isn’t it normal to show sbasic kindness?”

There was suddenly a tense atmosphere between the two. The camera quickly panned away. Both of them had

connections, so the director didn’t want any conflict.

The camera was supposed to switch to Jude's office to see his

reaction.

But then, in the frame, he suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.

The director's team and the guests in the observation room were shocked.

“Quick! Call 911!” someone shouted.

Kaia was stunned. They had no idea what was going on inside Jude's office from where they were sitting.

“Mr. Halston has fainted! Call an ambulance!”

Kaia’s heart skipped a beat. Her fingers trembled as she dialed

911.

“Hello, this is Vanguard Law Firm. Someone has fainted. Please send an ambulance quickly!”

After hanging up, Kaia rushed into the office. Jude was lying on the floor, his hand gripping his chest, his face

deathly pale.

“Jude, Jude?” Her voice was trembling.

The guests in the observation room rushed over. “What's going on? How did he faint!”

Kaia shook her head, completely at a loss. She kept pinching the base of Jude's thumb and constantly checking

his breathing and carotid artery.

Thankfully, the most critical situation of cardiac arrest didn’t

occur.

Sstaff members with a bit of medical knowledge were performing emergency rescue on the spot.

Harry went as white as a sheet. “I-I didn’t do anything,” he stammered.
