"I began my legal career a few years ago, however I am with the understanding that hard work and dedication would eventually lead me to such opportunities of promotion, and better connections.""Why don't you think that your kindness can take you to the top hierarchy in this legal business?" Romeo asked.Anna smiled. "Whatever act of kindness I potray towards people, it is from
