Michael sat in his office, staring at the reports and updates from his legal team.
The phone on his desk rang, breaking his concentration. It was Juliet.
"Mr. Reyes, there's a courier here with a letter for you. It looks official."
"Send them in," Michael replied, trying to steady his nerves.
A few moments later, a courier entered his office and handed him a sealed envelope. Michael thanked the courier and dismissed him, then carefully opened the envelope. Inside was a letter from VirtuReal Innovations' legal team.
Michael unfolded the letter and began to read:
Dear Mr. Reyes,
Re: VirtuReal Innovations v. Reyes Corporation
Pursuant to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we are hereby notifying you that a lawsuit has been officially filed against Reyes Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
