Romero, the firm’s managing partner, is a pleasant individual who values his relationship with subordinates and even encourages them to feel free to approach him with any concerns. One day, Nick overheard a telephone conversation between Chris and the client, in which Chris informed the client that he had covered up the fraud at the client’s company as requested during a prior interaction. This information was troubling, considering Chris had admitted to illegal and unethical activity. Nick decided to share what he learned with Jenna to see if she could advise him on what to do. Unfortunately, Jenna told Nick to do nothing and pretend he had never heard the conversation. Nick could not do this and, thus, decided to approach Chris and get to the bottom of what he overheard. However, before he could get into Chris’s office, Michael, who overheard Nick’s conversation with Jenna, stepped in and requested Nick to exercise some restraint, considering bringing such a serious matter without evidence might backfire on him, resulting in Nick losing his internship position. After calming down and evaluating what Michael said, Nick decided to take time and investigate the matter properly before using the appropriate channels to report his findings.
