The junior associate sitting quietly in the corner, jotting down notes, looked like he’d just seen a ghost.
He could hardly believe this was the same Andrew he’d always known.
The engagement contract was brought over in no time. Amelia skimmed it twice, then signed without a hint of hesitation.
“Andrew, I’ll leave the rest to you,” she said.
“Of course, Ms. Sadinton. That’s what I’m here for.” Andrew’s gentle smile never faded, and he even walked Amelia out himself.
As soon as the door closed behind her, the associate lost it.
“Andrew, are you alright? Fifty thousand up front? Your hourly rate’s five grand—”
Before he could finish, Andrew clamped a hand over his mouth and nudged him out of the way.
He walked over to the big window, watching as Amelia’s figure slipped out the front doors. He pulled out his phone, snapped a quick photo, and sent it straight to Ryan.
Then he cleared his throat and sent Ryan a voice message.
“Mr. Packman, just letting you know, my fee needs to be settled in advance. Ms. Sadinton already put down a fifty-thousand-dollar retainer, so you can deduct that. I’ll send you the invoice in half an hour.”
Andrew didn’t really know who Amelia was, but if Ryan was getting personally involved, she was clearly someone important.
Ryan and Clive.
Andrew’s lips curled in amusement.
This divorce case was about to get interesting.
…
Amelia hadn’t been gone long when her phone rang. Clive’s name lit up the screen.
