On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 125

Jessica glanced at him hesitantly.

"Pro bono, of course," Dennis added with a smile.

"Please, don't worry," she said, embarrassed. "As soon as I get my settlement, I'll pay your legal fees."

"A rule is a rule," he replied gently. "I said it would be pro bono, and it will be. If I took your money now, I'd be damaging my own reputation."

"So, what happens next?" she asked.

"This afternoon, I'll file a response with the court on your behalf. Just keep your phone on. You might get a call from them."

"Okay," Jessica nodded.

With that matter settled, Dennis leaned forward. "Now, about the answer I was waiting for. Did you bring it for me today?"

Jessica nodded, her gaze dropping to the table. "I've thought about it a lot," she said, her voice soft. "I can agree to give up custody of my daughter. But I want visitation rights twice a week, and on those days, she stays with me."

Dennis nodded. "Alright. I can make that happen."

Jessica thanked him again and again.

Emily was exhausted. To be blunt, looks were half the battle. A streamer who looked like Jessica could sit in front of a camera, do nothing but smile sweetly, and viewers would shower her with gifts. It was a real shame. In this age of live streaming, it was baffling that someone wouldn't leverage their natural assets.

Emily smiled professionally. "The positions we're looking to fill most urgently, besides streamers, are in operations and product selection. Rebecca recommended you for product selection. Are you familiar with the role?"

"Honestly, I hadn't been exposed to it before," Jessica admitted. "After Rebecca mentioned it, I did some research. I have a basic understanding of the workflow now, and I believe I can do the job."

"Good," Emily said. "We're a startup, so we need all the help we can get. You can start next Monday. My name is Emily Gray, and I'll be your direct supervisor. I'll give you my contact info. When you get to the office, give me a call. You'll shadow me for the first month to get familiar with the process, and after that, I'll start giving you your own assignments."

Just then, Emily's phone rang. "Excuse me one moment," she said before answering.
