Chapter 45

An hour later, Thalia returned to Sarah’s office, placing contracts on her desk.

“Task completed,” she said coolly. “A five–year counsel contract with £150,000 already transferred. Plus three payment dispute cases and one patent infringement case, all with retainers paid. Total revenue: £800,000. Check with Finance if you don’t believe me.”
