It's all right, Gustav thought. He revealed how he would give his voice away, and truthfully, he felt as if a stone had fallen from his heart. He didn't care what others would say or think about him. Based on the information he had and his reason, he made his own decision, and it felt good.
"Thank you, Gustav. Your argumentation convinces me a lot. I will vote as you do."

Why did such a large and serious businessman make a decision based on what Gustav would do? Had Gustav been chattering to him about something during the night? He hoped not, because that would have been rather humiliating.
