"No, you can't call the police." Xenia turned to Donovan and pleaded, "Donovan, I don't understand how these things work. The supplier said it was normal to make deals, but I had no idea they'd send expired products!"

"Oh? Did you suddenly realize it was a mistake now that you've been caught? Did you ever stop to think about the consequences when you took the bribe?" Donovan felt a headache coming on. "Xenia, you've been nothing but trouble lately."
