Disbarred

Preface

"Warren, you know we would be thrilled to have you as our next partner but we have some concerns."

Greg has always been a hard ass so I can't say I'm surprised that he'd be making additional demands of me before starting the process of making me a partner. Doesn't mean it won't grate on my nerves. I have out performed every other attorney in this office for the past three years, since day one. I've been a shoe in for the position but of course it's not enough.

Leaning forward I plant my elbows on the table and fold my hands in front of me. Leveling Greg with a stare that would send any paralegal we have running for the hills.

"Name your price, you know I'll be good for it."

"While you may be one of our best closers-"

"The best closer, come on Greg don't insult me now."

Huffing out a breath he leans back in his chair matching my gaze.

"Fine, out best closer we still find your choice in cases...too safe. Take more risks. There's no shame in believing in the underdog."

What the fuck? Playing it too safe, did I not just tell the man to not insult me?

Quirking an eyebrow at the old bastard I raise my hand rolling it in his direction urging him to get on with it.

"The firm has approved hiring a new paralegal to be your right hand in your cases moving forward. We hope you use the extra resources to take on more...enticing cases. We trust you won't let us down."
