Floriana was studying another case, contemplating the meaning of human life. Behind every line, she read lay someone's fate—shattered hopes and universal despair.
The young lawyer mentally asked herself for the umpteenth time, "Why don't people appreciate what they have? Why does love fade so quickly and families fall apart?"
There was no clear answer to these difficult questions, a fact that upset her deeply.
Floriana opened another folder detailing yet another family's collapse. She had barely skimmed the first paragraph when her office door swung open noisily. Mr.Campbell stood on the threshold. Floriana sprang up reflexively.
"Mr.Campbell, I haven't finished reviewing all the materials yet."
"Floriana, why do you always jump up when I appear? We're not in the army. I'm not against discipline, but this is excessive!"
Floriana knew from experience it was better not to argue with superiors. She slowly lowered herself back into her chair. Mr.Campbell seemed pleased with her compliance.
"That's better, Floriana. You've been jumping up like a schoolgirl. It's not your first day here—it's time to get used to our company's conditions!
They're quite mild, creating a favorable environment for productive work. At least, I'm convinced of this!" The chief's smile gave Floriana more confidence.
She smiled back. "Yes, the conditions here are very comfortable, and I am used to them. It's just that I jump up involuntarily—it's become a reflex.
At university, they drilled into us that rules of subordination are mandatory in any structure, and during our internships, we were constantly on edge."
Mr.Campbell lowered his heavy body into a vacant chair. "Oh, don't get me started on this subordination nonsense! It was invented by bureaucrats.
They need to justify their salaries, so they invent different rules. Of course, I'm for discipline, but everything should be in moderation!"
His rather lengthy monologue seemed to bore even himself, and he exhaled noisily. A moment later, the man leaned closer to the miniature fan on Floriana's desk.
"It's sweltering today—I can hardly breathe! Alright, Floriana, let's talk business. I have a task of a personal nature for you.
The thing is, an acquaintance of mine is going through a divorce. It's a complicated situation, and she needs the support of a good lawyer.
The topic is delicate because she's quite well-known in business circles and doesn't want publicity about the divorce proceedings.
Her husband is a young, overzealous scoundrel. And his insolence knows no bounds! Not only did he ruin the life of a wonderful woman, but he wants to take away part of her property!
He's flooded the poor woman with lawsuits and used her money to hire a whole team of lawyers. But she and I have decided on a different tactic, and you're ideally suited to deliver the main blow."
Floriana blurted out, "Mr.Campbell, but I'm still just—"
The chief cast a thoughtful glance at his subordinate. "I know you're still learning and haven't handled any difficult cases yet, but you haven't lost a single trial, and that's a critical indicator in our work!
In fact, I'm confident you can handle this case as well. Here's her file, and here's my friend's phone number. Set up a meeting and start working on it."
The chief left, carefully closing the door. A whirlwind of emotions stirred in the young lawyer's soul. On one hand, she felt proud that Mr.Campbell trusted her; on the other, she feared she might not live up to his expectations.
Floriana Pollono had been working at the private law firm for less than three years, but in that relatively short time, she'd seen it all.
On her very first day, her boss hadn't bothered with standard questions. He'd merely glanced at her and decisively stated, "You'll be handling divorce cases!"
Of course, back then Floriana was taken aback, but she gave a deep nod, signaling her acceptance of the chief's command. She expected further explanations, but Mr.Campbell just stared at her with a dissatisfied look.
"If everything's clear, why are we still standing here?"
