"Not much, they were just debating whether or not the Newbie at Miller Industries will be our new lady boss, not that it affects us in any way," Benedict told Nathaniel as he continued to listen to the girls drone on. "You still owe me an explanation, by the way."

"Give me time, I'll explain eventually," Nathaniel told his friend, hoping that the latter won't suspect anything.
