Sophie Kinsella Quote

Um… yes, I say desperately. I was just wondering… could we possible put it off for a little bit? Just a few minutes. Hilary’s face freezes. What? she says at last. I have a dreadful feeling she’s going to explode. I feel a bit confused. I need more time to think… I trail off at Hilary’s expression. She comes toward me and brings her face very close to mine. She’s still smiling, but her eyes are snapping and her nostrils flared and white. I take a step back, quailing, but she grabs my shoulders so hard I can feel her nails digging into my flesh. Samantha, she hisses. You will go out there, you will read your statement, and you will say Carter Spink is the best law firm in the world. And if you don’t – I will kill you. I think she’s serious.
