Mossback—who had initially been throwing a tantrum—immediately changed his tone after hearing Finn Taylor's words. It was as though nothing had even happened.
He tidied his hair and asked, "Boss, do I look alright? I haven't been disfigured, have I?"
Finn Taylor pushed him aside. "You're still Mossback, alright."
To that, Mossback didn't say a thing.
…
The next day.
Finn Taylor and Mossback set off together and headed to San Diego Grand Hotel for a meal hosted by Jerry Wood.
But what Mossback didn't understand was why Finn Taylor hadn't driven his Rolls-Royce there. Instead, he hailed a cab there.
In the car.
Mossback couldn't hold his curiosity in and asked, "Boss, why didn't you drive the Rolls-Royce?"
He truly couldn't understand why the other had done so.
But the moment he said that, the driver laughed before Finn Taylor could even answer. "Haha! You guys have a Rolls-Royce?"
