"Internet celebrity sister?"
That's some spoiled brat circle's brother and sister culture.
Juan Morris certainly wasn't promoting this culture, nor was he the type to abandon his friends at the sight of beauty. He clarified, "I didn't mean for them to advertise for me."
He quickly changed the subject, "What's the deal with Clement Atkins? How did you get chummy with him?"
"Not close."
"Then why would he help you?"
Rae Bennett stated the outcome directly, "The acquisition of Reili Media is on hold for now."
"Weren't we talking about Clement Atkins? How the hell did it jump to—" Juan Morris caught on, "You sly merchant!"
Actually using such tactics to "force" competitors to bow out.
Juan Morris despised him.
Rae Bennett didn't care one bit, "I didn't lose out anyway; even if I didn't withdraw, you wouldn't have won."
Juan Morris felt like Rae Bennett was insulting him.
"You can't tolerate insults to my business acumen."
"Don't insult business acumen."
