ARCH:

YOU SNEAKY BASTARD!

TRENT:

Who are you talking to?

ARCH:

THEODORE CALDWELL!

He just landed a HUGE deal

ME:

It wasn’t a huge deal. It’s a pro bono project.

ARCH:

With the spin that it’s good for the firm.

Bruce has been bragging about you all day

You should see Sean fuming lol

ME:

Fuck. How pissed is he?

ARCH:

He’s demanding to be part of the project but Bruce keeps saying no.

JORDY:

Congrats, man!

What’s the project?

ME:

A lighthouse restoration.

My brother’s girlfriend is obsessed with the thing and asked me to help her restore it

ARCH:

But wait! That’s not all!

You spun that shit so well Bruce gave you a whole ass brANCH!

ME:

It’s a Cedar Ridge office, bro

It’s not impressive

ARCH:

Idk. I think it’s a big deal

So does everyone at the office

TRENT:

It’s a big deal.

JORDY:

Your own branch?

What does that mean?

ME:

Nothing. Just that I’m running this restoration

ARCH:

You have a team under you…

This is huge

I wish we could go out to celebrate.

JORDY:

Arch is right, man. This is a huge deal.

Are you going out tonight?

ME:

Go out? In this town?

We’ll celebrate next time I come to the city

I have to go get Scout from school.

ARCH:

It’s so weird you’re a dad

ME:

Tell me about it.
