New Life
“Jules asked. “Because I have no doubt in my mind that you are.” My mentor was great at bolstering confidence and soothing fluttering nerves.
I nodded. “Absolutely.” And I realized I meant it. I was fully prepared to present our case and “squeeze”
the juice company until it was willing to settle.
In court, I was very calm as I described conditions at the bottling plant and told about the E. coli outbreak that had been traced back to Grandpa’s Old-Fashioned Grape Nectar. There weren’t a lot of ho...les in my case. Grandpa’s legal team called a recess, then settled on a tidy sum that satisfied our clients.
“Good work.” Jules smiled at me as we left the courthouse. “Feels good, doesn’t it? You were cool as a cucumber.”
I couldn’t help but feel smug after another success. Good to know all those years of school hadn’t been wasted.
In fact, I was pretty damn good at my job.
The moment my mind wasn’t caught up in the case, thoughts of Jason crept back in. Since our date, I’d waffled back and forth between dying to see him again and devising ways to let him down easy.MoreLess
