"He insulted you?" Karl was totally surprised. "How?"
Loreen Benson smiled about walked over to Lambert, who stood up to greet her.
"Hi, Jack," she embraced him in a friendly manner and kissed him on the cheek.
"Loreen," he responded with the same.
Now the woman turned to Karl and laughed in a friendly manner.
"It's such a little thing between me and Steve," she said. "You know, me and him know each other from the old days. That's why when I took over the management of the company I decided to team up with you. You see, even as a teenager I had a weakness for fast cars and fast men, so I know the world of auto racing better than any other sport. And I know that next to golf and tennis, it's the one that attracts the people with the most money. And Steve attracts the women with the thickest wallets."
