"Don't know about that, any problem?" he replied, his tone suggesting that Director Andrew was encroaching on his precious time. His gaze swept over Director Andrew, giving him a dismissive once-over.
Director Andrew, deflated by the man's seemingly disinterested response, mustered a small glimmer of hope, desperately wanting to engage in conversation with him.
"No, not at all," Director Andrew replied, his voice tinged with disappointment. "Just that I have... I mean, I want to ask a little question if you don't mind."
The man paused for a moment, his piercing blue eyes scanning Director Andrew's face as if assessing his sincerity. It was clear that he held the power in this interaction, and Director Andrew's request was merely an inconvenience.
"I do mind," the man responded curtly, his tone indicating that he had more important matters to attend to. "I have an important meeting coming up."
