Agente refused without hesitation, "No way! I think Josie is just fine. She's so pretty and well-behaved, one of her is enough for me!" Jonathan gave up on his coaxing, feeling frustrated. Instead of helping him, Agente was just making things worse.
Clarisse had been uneasy for the past few days because of the acquisition incident. She felt guilty, thinking that she had dragged Jonathan into trouble. After work, she couldn't resist calling Jonathan after picking up Josie. Although his words were infuriating last time, she still needed to negotiate with him since he was the one responsible for the situation.
As soon as the call connected, before she could say anything, he said, "Haven't eaten yet? Come over and join us; Agente and I are waiting for you and Josie!" She angrily hung up the phone, frustrated at how confident he was that she would call him. Despite her anger, she took a taxi to his house.
