Marc Dubois looks smaller on paper than Isabella Laurent. That is exactly what makes him useful. His name turns up in the emails you handle, but past that he is a blank: a junior analyst, maybe, a trader. You don't know yet.
Isabella is the locked office. Marc is the window someone forgot to shut, not out of trust, just carelessness. He won't have the keys, but he'll know which drawer they're kept in.
You feel the old urge to underestimate him. Underestimating people is how you survived the call centre. You make yourself stop.
You're not choosing a friend. You're choosing a way in.
