"You are quitting?!"
Clara blurted out in disbelief as she pushed her chair back slightly and stared at Damian like she had misheard him.
Nothing about this made sense.
Everything had finally started going well, he had become more active in the office and spent more time around people.
After the Delaney trial his reputation had exploded overnight. This was the moment people built careers from. This was the moment people stopped chasing opportunities because opportunities started chasing them.
With another few years, no, at his current pace, maybe even months, Damian could become senior partner.
The youngest and the first to do so at his age. The kind of achievement people talked about decades later.
So why would he walk away now?
Then her eyes drifted toward Loth standing quietly beside the door.
"And why is she here?" Clara's tone softened unintentionally.
She had seen this woman several times acting as Damians personal assistant and it always unsettled her.
