Eldwood
The door swung open to reveal the lined face of his boss, James McMarnan, a man in his late 50's who had age considerably, his gaunt face showing the amount of nights he had spent up recently working. "Come in Eldwood." James said as he stood back from he door, Eldwood entering the sparsely decorated office, only a picture of James with his wife and daughter stood on the desk next to his computer monitor, the rest of the shelves filled with work related things. "Take a seat." James said as he sat down. And then he spoke properly "As you may or may not know, David Smith, one of our senior partners is going to retire on Monday, he's kept this as secret as possible, however, we have been looking for a replacement partner in the company since he announced his retirement. After due consideration we have decided we would like to offer the title of senior partner in honour of your recent good work. Do you accept? Also if you do accept, he has a junior attorney who he is tutoring/ using as a personal assistant, if you accept then you will have to carry on tutoring this person, Patrick Kimble is his name I think, until you deem he is good enough to become a professional lawyer (by that I mean that he would be able to do jobs by himself and is trusted to handle all less important mergers). With that out the way, do you accept?" Sitting there Eldwood began to think, it would mean a significant pay-rise but his responsibilities would also rise. What could he do?
