"Understood, Mr. Johson." -25 BONUS The meal went relatively well, thanks to the relaxed atmosphere Willow intentionally created. However, during dinner, Hansel ordered a bottle of red wine. By the tthe wine was finished, he was already intoxicated.

Her eyelids were drooping, and none of her previous arrogance remained. "Mr. Banks, what did Mr. Taylor say?" she asked quietly.
e Joseph snapped, "You still have the nerve to askthat? After what you did yesterday? You charged at M Miranda at an event like that, in front of so many peers and journalists! Aren't you just making it obvious it was you behind the scenes?" "I... I didn't expect her to actually get the approval..." Sophie stammered.
"Didn't expect it?" he shouted. Did you think about how they'd manage to build a lab? Did you see the result?" He added, "Not only that, people from all over cto congratulate them.
