Prado's footsteps immediately stopped and the entire room fell silent.
The old governor slowly turned his head, his expression twisting little by little until even the wrinkles on his forehead seemed deeper than before.
Otis immediately covered half of his face with one hand, desperately trying not to laugh. Jace quietly turned toward the window and took a long breath, already regretting coming to this place with Arthur.
Even Teddy's perfect smile finally disappeared.
"What..." Prado slowly asked, his voice much lower than before. "Did you just say?"
Arthur calmly looked up from his notebook as if nothing had happened. "Oh, I thought you were leaving."
The old governor took several heavy steps back toward the sofa, completely forgetting about the door. His expensive rings repeatedly hit the wooden armrest as he pointed a shaking finger at Arthur.
"You little brat... say that again."
