“I will need to review your contract. Please email it along with any communication you’ve received since your final performance: texts, emails, letters, social media messages, and phone calls, if they were recorded.
I need to see it all to decide, but I think, given everything you’ve shared with me today, that a cease-and-desist letter is in order.
Please send any paperwork associated with your brother’s band, as well.
We need to rule out culpability. If you have articles of organization or an operating agreement to prove you are not a legal member of the organization, that would be helpful. ”
“Sophie has everything ready to go. We’ll email it as soon as we get off this call,” I say. My posture is ramrod straight, and I’m sitting on the edge of my seat.
“Very good. We will make this a priority. I know this is time sensitive and you’re eager to put a halt to the harassment,” she says, matter-of-factly.
“I am. Thank you, Ms. Banks.”
“We’ll talk soon. Good day, Mr. St. Clair.”
“Bye.”
The call disconnects immediately from her end, and I look at Soph, eyes wide. “Why do I feel like I’m ten years old and was just in the principal’s office about to get suspended for something I didn’t even do?”
Soph is typing on her laptop, sitting on the other side of the table from me, but pauses so she can meet my eyes.
“Gus was right; she is a pit bull. She’s like those attorneys in movies who face off against the most powerful people in the world and make them cower.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about with her in your corner. ”
I hope she’s right.
