Focus on prepositions

Talk about what happened to you on Friday and try to use some of the words we covered.

I like to binge watch TV shows, so I have watched three seasons of Suits by the recent week. It talks about series of stories that happens in a law firm. Mike is one of the characters, he was a drug dealer and escaped from the sting settled by the policeman and rushed into an interview held by Harvey who is another character. Mike is astute with perfect memory and passed the bar exam, although he told Harvey the truth and he did not have the qualification of being a lawyer, Harvey still decided to hire him and help him to hide truth. Louis is the rival of Harvey and he is very suspicious and always step out of line, when he found Harvey got a promotion and hired a new lawyer of his own, he felt very angry and unfair and tried to get Mike in trouble. After Harvey threatened him, he was reluctant to accept the fact and Mike.
