"It's on sale," Angelo anounced loudly, barging into my office, a behavior that seemed to be becoming a habit.

Though my gaze remained fixed on him, my attention was still on the phone call. "Thank you, Mr. Godizalla. I replied tersely, shooting Angelo a glare for his disruptive entrance. "I will ensure yours is among the goods sent to Italy in two days
