In the room, after Bertram Jaak and the others left, only Lorraine Janell and the three women remained.
The three women almost simultaneously got up and sat around, each wearing a lovely and gentle expression, but their eyes were full of threatening glances.
"So, how will the distribution proceed next? Are you still hesitating?"
Bertha chuckled, her words representing both Lorraine Janell and Kitty More.
"You mean, you want one pill?" Basil Jaak asked.
"Of course." Bertha replied unceremoniously.
"You want one too?" Basil asked Lorraine Janell.
Lorraine Janell said, "You have more than forty pills, aren't you going to give me one?"
Uh... a rhetorical question, and Basil was left speechless.
Turning his gaze to Kitty More, Basil said, "Kitty, you want one too, right?"
Kitty More looked a bit embarrassed, bowed her head, and said, "If you give me one, I'll take it. If not, I won't ask." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, yet Basil found it very pleasing.
