As soon as it hit five, Sienna Thornton said goodbye to her two partners and left work. When she drove to the apartment's underground garage, she noticed the space next to hers was still empty, meaning Simon Forrester hadn't come back yet. Knowing they'd be grocery shopping together later, she couldn't be bothered to go upstairs only to come back down, so she just turned on her hazard lights and sat in the car waiting for him.
She opened a WeChat group chat called "Brimfield Lawyers," planning to see if any other lawyers had cases they didn't want and wanted to transfer. However, after scrolling through, nobody was throwing out cases, and there were quite a few people, like her, looking for work.
The group chat was lively, with several lawyers discussing their plans to appear on the popular legal show "Lawyer Speak" to boost their law firm's visibility. Even if they didn't land big cases, getting some legal consultation gigs to earn hourly fees was still worthwhile.
