As they stepped out of the elevator, Vivica was still shaking her head. "No, I know my place. The Baird family is a level of high society I could never even dream of being a part of. Besides—"
Her words were cut short by her phone ringing. She pulled it out and saw the name on the screen: Joseph Baird.
Quintina leaned over for a peek. "Mr. Baird? Answer it!"
Vivica shot her friend a look, a strange expression on her face. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Quintina grinned wickedly. "Ooh, that look on your face tells me something's going on."
"No, there isn't! You're just imagining things!" Vivica opened the apartment door, motioning for her friend to go inside first while she deliberately hung back to answer the call.
"Hello, Mr. Baird."
"The county records office notified me that you can go in to confirm the information whenever you're free."
Joseph's call was about the change to Chaim's legal name.
Vivica was taken aback. "That was fast."
"Yes, I had it expedited."
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. "I left my contact information with them that day. Why did they notify you?"
Sitting in his office, Joseph was momentarily stumped by the question. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. He replied smoothly, "I was there on other business this morning and asked about it while I was there."
As a lawyer, he regularly dealt with various government departments. It was unlikely Vivica would press him for details about his other business.
"Oh, I see."
