No, I'll have to speak with the woman. I'll have to find a way to convince her to accept this copy. Emily made up her mind that this was the only solution at the moment.
So, Emily walked in the direction of the bathroom, and at that moment, she noticed that the old woman had just emerged from the bathroom. Instead of returning to the reception room, she pushed open the stairway door and disappeared behind it.
Emily, intrigued, followed and stood outside the door, when she overheard the old woman's voice coming from the other side.
"Yes, she just arrived." The old woman whispered, "I saw a copy of her lawsuit application. It seems she really managed to get fifty signatures, but it doesn't matter. I won't let her file the lawsuit."
Emily's heart sank. It turned out that the old woman was only intent on making things difficult for her. But who was she speaking to on the phone?
