Chapter 45

Around five in the evening, Roxanne finished work. Before she could leave the building, someone blocked her path. Roxanne barely had time to see who it was before someone pulled her into a hug. A familiar voice exclaimed, "Thank you, Ms. Grayson! I did exactly what you suggested, and that woman immediately agreed to settle. No compensation, no apology needed. She dropped everything!" It took Roxanne a moment to recognize the woman from that morning, Clarise. She smiled politely. "I'm glad it worked out for you." "You gave me such an amazing idea," Clarise said, her face lighting up with gratitude. Roxanne nodded, feeling a flicker of pride at being able to help. "Let me treat you to a meal," Clarise offered earnestly. Roxanne shook her head with a polite smile. "That's not necessary. It's just part of my job. Besides, I have other things to take care of. But thank you for the thought." Clarise shrugged lightly. "Alright then." Roxanne gave her a small nod.
