Sophie Ahmad is beautiful, smart, of the highest credentials on the floor, and the only non-white lawyer in the entirety of Landman and Zack. So of course men feel entitled to take up her time whenever they like. This day, it's Tom Sticky-hands that's looming over her with an ugly grin, already touching.
Now Marci is no bleeding heart.
But the only reason Tom got as far as he did is his daddy, and his daddy's credit isn't large enough to carry him much further. Sophie will leave him in the dust if this place doesn't break her. So will Marci. There's no reason not to stick toghether; they can prop each other up. And propping each other up does of course involve extending a helping hand from time to time, doesn't it? Also, Marci really hates Tom and is of the belief that he and his sticky ways can go fuck themselves instead of trying to fuck unwilling employees.
So she extends a helping hand that is holding a cup of extremely hot coffee, and turns it down.
"Oh! Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"
And this is how she gets assigned the worst case in the company, and promptly meets the Devil of Hells Kitchen because of it.
