acajennie:
the last thing jennie had wanted to do today was go with her mother to work. however, the older woman had insisted that she at least spend the day getting an idea of what the life of a lawyer was like, at which point jennie had noted that she had no desire of becoming a lawyer.Ā
her mother looked at her like she was crazy.
which was how she found herself wandering in this law office, wearing a stuffy suit and a dress that fit her in all the wrong places. she tugged down on the skirt and frowned, not paying attention to where she was going.
however, it seemed like she wasnāt the only one not paying attention because the next thing she knows, sheās on the ground, a loud thud having sounded from her hitting the ground. she yelped just a bit as she looked up at the male.Ā āah, yeah, i guess so,ā she mumbled as she finally got up with his help.Ā āyou should be careful. you could have knocked over a partner,ā she pointed out. that wouldnāt have been very good for his career progression.
All the panic fades and he releases a sigh of relief. āThank god, my boss would kill me if someone files a lawsuit against the firm.ā And that is the last thing he needs is to be under fire for causing an incident. Heās already was warned as an intern and warned once again once he accepted the position. He has goals to achieve and he canāt afford to do anything to jeopardize it. However, he does find himself curious at the girlās words.
āPartner? Oh, like my supervisor? I donāt quite understand what you mean.ā He questions with a tilt of the head. āAre you an intern?ā It was a logical explanation for the weird usage of the word āpartnerā. She seemed young enough to be one, sheās dressed appropriately and holds herself well. Ā There werenāt any hints of it being some sort of ābring your kid to workā event either with the lack of screaming children.
He does finds it strange however that sheās walking aimlessly by herself. Interns would be scolded and herded back to their tiny cubicles. There was that big case after all and the opportunity of the life time for pre-law students.
He kneels down to gather together his files and papers, but continues to speak. āIf you are, shouldnāt you be with the others?ā
