Chapter 2
“Hi, Max, how have your first couple of days been?”
Max swallowed the bite of the sandwich he’d been eating in the break room when Penny breezed in. She was the other trainee solicitor alongside Noah. He’d met her a few times before starting here. She rummaged in the fridge, found a pasta salad in a plastic tub, and sat at the table with him.
“It’s fine,” he said. “Busy!”
“You’re doing the work of two people,” she said. “Trust the partners not to want to spend the money to replace both Claire and Asha.”
“I knew it,” he said. “I said to Noah I’ll be doing the work of two people.” He shrugged. “Ah, well, I’ve done the work of two people at other jobs. Though some have suggested the two people in question were Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.” He grinned at her, and she chuckled.
