Use of Gears

When Alexander presented his lucrative plan to Mean, instead of taking and running with it, the girl instantly turned it down while waving her hands dismissively, "Alex, I know how to use pots and pans and knives. Doesn't mean I know how to make them. And besides, I'm already too busy as is. Give it to somebody else."

And his heart would be at ease putting someone he really, really trusts.

But it was much, much more complex than that.
