Owens Legal Services was buzzing with activity as the number of cases kept climbing, prompting the firm to
bring in more lawyers and legal assistants. The human resources, finance, and administration teams also
welcomed several new faces. As the firm grew, its policies and procedures becmore polished and organized.
Thanks to Joshua's influence, the staff enjoyed afternoon tea every couple of days, which really lightened the
mood around the office. Allison noticed a big boost in everyone's morale and efficiency lately. Joshua's charm
