Early the next morning, Marcus sent a PDF copy of his contract directly to Steven's DM.
Steven was already awake. He forwarded it to Hargreaves immediately, when he saw it, and a reply came back within minutes confirming that the legal team would begin reviewing it and would contact Marcus directly before the end of the day.
Steven relayed this to Marcus, who responded quickly.
Genuinely grateful man. I'll owe you a big one if this works out.
Focus on the case first, Steven typed back. We'll sort everything else after.
Will do. Just waiting now.
What are you doing in the meantime?
I honestly have no idea right now, but I'm sure that I'll figure something out.
If you need anything, call me.
You've already done more than enough. I don't want to be a burden.
I'm the one offering, Steven typed. Stop worrying about that.
I really appreciate it. I'll keep you updated on everything.
Just take care of yourself, Steven replied.
I will, Marcus said.
