CHAPTER 14: Unveiling Intentions

  Hannah's POV

  Christian's warm presence lingered in the room, easing the tension that had built up from my earlier conversation with Michael. His easygoing demeanor and witty remarks had done wonders to lift my spirits. But as the conversation flowed, something else gnawed at the back of my mind. The case, I just read about in the file. I couldn't afford to ignore any longer.

  Christian took a sip of his coffee and raised an eyebrow as he noticed my sudden shift in expression. "Alright, spill it," he said with a curious grin. "What's got that brain of yours working overtime?"

  I couldn't help but smile at his perceptiveness. "It's about the a case, I just read it's file." I said, leaning back in my chair and meeting his gaze. "I'm sure you've heard about it before."

  "Which case are you talking about?" Christian's face turned serious as he nodded.

  "The case you are playing defend attroney against Lyla." I said witha s serious expression.
