The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1387

Luna's desk was diagonally across from hers. She was hunched over the Summit-Ninesky case file, a slight frown on her face as she occasionally paused to highlight something.

A moment later, she closed the folder, stood up, and knocked lightly on the legal director's door.

"Director Kaylee, I wanted to discuss the Ninesky case."

Luna's tone was pleasant. "Kirsten is recused because of her shares, but she knows Ninesky's internal operations and contract structures inside out. If she could help me compile the background research, it would save a massive amount of time and fast-track the case."

Kaylee looked up, tapping a pen against her desk in thought.

"She's a shareholder there. You're not worried she might be biased?"

"I'll be managing the case end-to-end, and I'll verify all the data she pulls. Besides, you already recognized her capability—her recusal is an ethics formality, not a skill issue."

Luna smiled, sounding completely confident. "Having her assist with the paperwork plays to her strengths and prevents any office gossip about her sitting idle. It's a win-win."

Kaylee nodded, appreciating the logic. "Alright, let's do it your way. Go loop Kirsten in. Have her assist you."

With the green light, Luna walked straight over to Kirsten's desk.

The rest of the bullpen cast sideways glances. They were the two new hires locked in a death match for one permanent job. Now, one was running a massive case while the other was playing secretary. It was prime office gossip material.

"Kirsten, the director signed off. You're going to help me compile the data for the Ninesky case."

Her voice was just as polite as always. She dropped a stack of empty manila folders onto Kirsten's desk. "I need Ninesky's partnership contracts from the last three years, IP filing records, and all early-stage communication logs regarding this specific project. Be as detailed as possible. Don't leave anything out."
