Jason

The H brands deal is back on. And the client is paranoid and crazy. Sounds like Mitchell forced the issue. Or maybe opposing counsel did.

Miles

Fuck yeah! A few weeks of torture for a chance to get the fuck out of there? Sounds worth it to me.

My friends knew all about my plans for the money from this client. They’d helped me with the pitch to finalize bringing H Brands in.

Jonah

How long until you’re done?

Jason

If this deal goes smoothly, I’ll be out by February.

I’d get the money at the end of the year, when the firm closed its books, and then I’d give notice.

Jason

But opposing counsel is Cynthia’s firm.

Miles

The hot lawyer you texted us about last night?

I’d texted them after she’d left since Miles had been asking me to go out to a bar with him.

Miles

There’s no way it’s her.

Jonah

Imagine.

Miles sent a laughing emoji with tears coming out of its eyes. The thought of my torment probably had them laughing in their glass tower.

Jason

Not funny. If it’s her, I’m screwed

Miles

Yeah, you’d like to be.

Miles

Could be worth it… if the sex was good

I rolled my eyes. Of course. Miles had been known in college for sleeping with a million women. Now that he had a cold and horrible fiancée, he had to live vicariously through us.

Jason

Thanks for nothing, guys.

Jonah
