Edward patted Janice on the shoulder. "Come check on the steak with me."

"Alright."

Barbara watched as they walked into the kitchen together, standing side-by-side as they sampled the steak.

She turned to her husband, Robert, and said, "I think he likes this woman."

Robert, however, countered, "She's done you a favor. How do you plan on repaying her?"

Barbara was caught off guard. "...A car? A house? Money?"

"How superficial."

Barbara scoffed. "Then you tell me!"

"You always have a year-end gathering with the other ladies in the capital, don't you? Take her with you and introduce her to them."

In other words, he wanted Barbara to use her connections to subtly let influential figures in the capital know that Janice was protected by the Moores.
