"I won't do it!"
"Neither will I!" Adler and Jenna burst out in unison.
They'd helped Sophie and Colby twice before and knew all too well the feeling of being overwhelmed by work. As the saying goes, three's a crowd, and if they had to dive in again, they might as well say goodbye to life as they knew it!
Just then, Odie stepped up coolly, "Let's all pitch in. It's not that much anyway."
"Not that much? Are you kidding me?" Adler was stunned.
Who in their right mind would think there's too little work? With all these files scattered around, they'd be at it till kingdom come!
Odie rolled up his sleeves and nodded to Jonah, "You take that side, I'll handle this one."
"Yes, boss."
Adler was floored: "Wait, Mr. Odie, are you serious?"
"Well... I'll just tackle this section," Harold said, casually pointing to an area.
Sophie barely had time to appreciate the gesture when Odie added, "Time's money, folks. I'm charging by the minute. Any objections?"
Sophie forced a smile.
Harold chimed in, "I'll do it for free, but I want a ten-year deal between the Aldridge family and S Corporation."
Seeing these two making outrageous demands, Adler and Jenna seemed to have found a goldmine and jumped in too.
