"Senator Pierce, there's an emergency at my department that I need to take care of, so I'm leaving first. Sorry!"
The words that Bureau Chief Hanson said when he came up to him made it clear to Pierce that this was indeed David's doing, even if he were too foolish to realize it otherwise.
But before he had time to think further, he turned and saw that David had already found the next invited guest to 'communicate' with.
In the time that followed, seven or eight more celebrities who had been invited came up to him to bid farewell, making Pierce feel somewhat restless.
Unable to maintain his dignity, he immediately approached David and said discontentedly, "David, stop causing trouble for me here!"
David stopped what he was doing, turned around with a look of pity, and said, "Me causing trouble? I'm afraid it was you who started it all, wasn't it?"
