After having lunch with Harvey and Christine, Schiller briefly told Harvey about Harley. He did not rush him into making a decision, instead telling him to think it over for a few days before giving him an answer.
He had barely sat down in his office when Harley called.
"How did it go with Lawyer Dent, Professor?"
"Not bad. I could tell he's been short on money lately, so there's a high chance he'll agree."
"Really? That's great!"
"Still, we may have to wait a few more days. You know he's a lawyer. People like that are especially cautious. He may look into your assets and background or something."
"How could this happen? Fine. What about Cobblepot? Did Professor Freeze say whether he agreed?"
"There was a problem over at Cobblepot Industries yesterday, so the two of them didn't meet. They probably won't be able to have dinner until tonight. Ask him again tomorrow morning."
