Yes, James Sterling was nervous, not just because of the affable Fields, but more because of the big boss sitting there silently without even getting up—the chairman of the company, Miles Damon.
Let's put it this way, these two in front of him are definitely James Sterling's favorite capitalists.
It's not just because he works for them... put it another way, if it were other capitalists being hanged on street lamps, James Sterling might still feel a little sad, after all, maybe one of them was his idol. Living in a capitalist country, who wouldn't want to be a capitalist?
But if it were the two people in this meeting room today being strung up on those street lamps, James Sterling would even feel sorry for the street lamps.
Considering how much bad karma those street lamps must have accumulated to end up chosen to hang those two...
