He had finally secured the 8.6 million dollars.
He grabbed a few cups of coffee and flagged down a cab by the roadside. To his surprise, Francis was the one behind the wheel.

Francis looked at Carlisle with admiration. He hadi jy had initially thought Garlişle was just a con artist, but now he was starting to see his capabilities.
At nearly 30 years old, Francis couldn't help but feet somewhat overshadowed by this young college student.
Carlisle handed out coffee to everyone. Since he bad given Prancis e.
acup earlier, he didn't take one for himself.
Cameron pushed his coffee toward Carlisle, saying, "Here, Carl, you have it." Carlisle shook his head with a smile and pushed the coffee back. "I'm not a fan of coffee." "Alright, let's move on. I have a few announcements to make," Carlisle declared.
