[Short Flashback]
Atlas sat quietly in the backseat of the car, reading a newspaper in his hand. After the long wait, the other door opened and Hugo, still in his uniform, jumped inside.
"You're late," said Atlas emotionlessly as he glanced at his brother.
"There's a delay in the flight."
"I see."
Silence quickly followed Atlas's remarks while the car started moving away from the airport. For a good five minutes, neither of them spoke. Hugo glanced at his brother, who didn't seem he have any intention of saying or asking anything.
"I heard about the crisis the company had gone through," Hugo broached. "Penny helped?"
Atlas paused and slowly peeled his eyes from the newspaper to the window. "I didn't want her to, but she did anyway."
"You should chase her away fiercer in the future."
"You think I'm not doing that already?"
