Even though the phone’s usual ringing and vibration pattern remained unchanged, Jimmy couldn’t shake the feeling that the calls were becoming increasingly urgent and anxious.
Finally, the persistent ringing ceased, leaving behind a missed call notification on his screen.
Moments later, a text message from his boss arrived, reading: “Connect your damn phone! Immediately! Right now!”
Upon reading the message, Jimmy instinctively swallowed hard, his mouth feeling parched. He realized he had said too much earlier, leaving his throat dry and strained.
However, he couldn’t dwell on it any longer; his boss was calling again.
Fearful of the text, Jimmy hastily picked up the phone, glancing nervously at Steve, who wore a smug expression. He stammered into the phone, “Boss… Boss…”
On the other end, a frantic voice erupted, “Smith, what on earth did you do out there?! The Rothschild family just called, and they said their eldest young master is very displeased with you! I have dedicated years to the Rothschilds and never met the eldest young master. How could you have offended him?!”
At that moment, Jimmy’s heart sank.
He had hoped that his boss’s call was merely a coincidence and had nothing to do with the man who claimed to be a key member of the Rothschild family standing in front of him.
But as his boss continued, it became clear: he had truly crossed a significant figure today.
With despair and desperation in his eyes, Jimmy pleaded, “Boss, this… this is a misunderstanding. I will speak directly with Mr. Rothschild…”
“Explain your way out of this!” his boss snapped back. “It’s not your place to explain anything! Let me make this clear: you are fired from the Ellis Law Firm! No need for resignation procedures; I’ll have someone pack your things and send them to your home. I don’t want to see you again, and you better not show up!”
When Jimmy heard the word “fired,” he instinctively protested, “Boss, you can’t do this! I’ve always performed my duties excellently and received top marks in my annual evaluations. I hold shares in the firm and am a senior partner. You lack the authority to terminate me directly! If you attempt to do so, I will take legal action against the firm and demand substantial compensation!”
“Lack authority?” his boss scoffed, “Jimmy, let me remind you of a few things. Over the years at this firm, you’ve managed to win over five clients by circumventing our company. Take, for instance, the patent dispute between Mel Goodman and IBM last year. If I recall correctly, our firm offered him a 20% risk agency, which he deemed excessive. He ended up striking a private deal with you for a 10% risk agency through a small law firm run by your college classmate. You handled all the groundwork outside of the trial, while your classmate took part in the trial itself. Ultimately, you helped him secure $45 million in patent royalties from IBM, netting you $4.5 million. I’m not misrepresenting the situation here, am I? Just this incident alone could land you in jail!”
