The phone rang a few times before being answered. A cold, no–nonsense voice came through.

“You went to STARLINE Studios to discuss cooperation?”

Dalton straightened slightly, not realizing that Colton already knew about this. “It didn’t work out. I need your help.”

Colton’s tone didn’t change. “Help with what?”

Dalton sighed. “I offended one of the technicians there, and Leo stepped in to back her up-”

Colton cut him off, his voice sharpening. “What’s the technician’s name?”

Dalton blinked, momentarily caught off guard. “Sarah.”

A long silence followed.

Then, Colton let out a short, mirthless laugh. “Let me get this straight. You went there to negotiate, but before even securing a deal, you managed to offend one of their core members?”

Dalton hesitated for a moment, ready to scoff and argue that Sarah wasn’t some core technician, just someone with an ambiguous relationship with Leo. But before he could even get the words out, Colton cut him off.

“This is a favor I can do for you,” Colton said flatly, “but for the last time.”

The finality in his voice made Dalton straighten in his chair. He immediately masked his irritation with gratitude, responding, “Of course. Thank you, Colton. I owe you one.”

The line went dead a second later.
