The Copy Is More Lethal Than the Original

Summary

Sid. Harvard Law valedictorian at twenty. By twenty-five, an undefeated corporate legend who could spot loopholes in his sleep. Yet for three years as an assistant at a top firm, I copied papers and fetched coffee.

Senior Partner Harrington loved his patronizing sermons: "Sid, shredding builds character. We’re a family. Respect seniority. I’m shielding you from high-stakes cases so you don't get reckless."

The others laughed while I bowed, thanking him. I was done being a workaholic; a stress-free life as a glorified copy boy was my dream.
