"Morris, do you have any thoughts? Feel free to speak your mind."
"I don't, let Ivan continue."
"Very well, Ivan, please continue."
Hotter was without doubt an expert at passing the buck, and when called out, Morris followed suit.
At this moment, Morris resolved not to speak carelessly, especially since he really had no effective suggestions to offer.
Ivan, on the other hand, didn't mind analyzing further. If he managed to earn Tanaya's trust, he might just have to bring up that plan preoccupying his thoughts.
Of course, before that, more discussion was warranted. Perhaps a more cautious plan could be uncovered, to avoid provoking Hotter into a rage.
"May I ask something more, about your personal secrets?"
"You may ask anything, with our current situation there's nothing we can't discuss," said Tanaya calmly.
