"Alright, please wait a moment..."
In the office, Bellamy was discussing with Trollope the response plan to be enacted after the matter reached headquarters.
A knock on the door interrupted their train of thought, and Bellamy had no choice but to shout, "Come in."
"Director Bellamy, Director David wants to see you!"
"To see me?"
After pondering for a while, Bellamy eventually replied, "Tell him I'm very busy and don't have time."
He knew why the other party wanted to see him; it was nothing more than having been rebuffed by Director Ducray and now looking to make a move on him instead.
But he had already made up his mind to freeze that sum of money indefinitely, naturally leaving no need to meet with the other party.
"Alright..."
"Wait a second."
Just as the person who had come in was about to leave with the message, Trollope stopped him, contemplated briefly, and said, "Go out for a moment and give me five minutes."
