Originally, Clark was also a stubborn person who stuck to his guns, but having managed Jaak Pharmaceuticals for a while, he had learned how to read the room and smooth things over.
However, as soon as Clark opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Chance's sarcastic remarks, "Basil, you seem to be in good spirits; you look like you're doing very well indeed!"
Chance deliberately used Basil's name without the respectful "Mr. Jaak," wanting to undermine Basil. It's important to note that he had addressed Clark as "Mr. Clark" just moments before.
