"Now, Monica is asking me to give her an explanation! Michael, aren't you being a little shameless by asking me to clean up your mess?"
"I'm sorry!" Michael apologized.
He could only apologize.
"I don't want your apology!" Warren Sander's aura was overbearing. "I'll give you one day to think about how to solve this problem! If you don't, I'll sell you out, and don't blame me for being merciless then. You've been in politics with your father for so many years, so you should be familiar with t the principle that the winner takes all!"
"Yes." Instead of pleading for himself, Michael just accepted Warren's wrath.
Warren did not say anything more and hung up the phone abruptly.
Michael clutched his phone, his hands trembling.
