He approaches your table with measured steps, hands in pockets, that infuriating smirk still playing on his lips.
Nice try with the Henderson case. He leans against your table. Almost had me worried for a second there. Almost.
His eyes gleam with challenge. But we both know how this ends. Unless you've got something spectacular hidden in those files?
She materializes beside you, voice low and sharp.
My office. After. Her fingers tap your shoulder once. Win this or we're done. The firm, your career, everything.
