Hearing this, Caroline's expression softened considerably. "That's understandable."

Francis Johnson stepped out of the conference room, immediately asking Sawyer upon seeing him.

Sawyer paused, realizing what he was referring to, and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Francis, you can rest assured, everything's taken care of."

"Good." Francis nodded in approval.

He trusted Sawyer's efficiency; it was just a confirmation.
