"It's been a while since we've had a team dinner like this!" Jane exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She turned to Henry and added, "Thank you for treating us tonight, Prosecutor Wayne!"
Rain smiled, watching Jane's enthusiasm. Although Henry was undoubtedly a young and attractive man, Rain felt a pang of loyalty to her husband. She glanced at her phone, frowning as she saw that Alexander still hadn't read her messages.
