Whoosh! The scene fell silent, leaving only the sound of the wind and snow whistling. Falk, Principal Charlie, and other high-level members of the Commerce Association, including Lady Yi Lian, all looked at President Beiru with a look on their faces that seemed to say: Did I hear wrong?
"Forgive my frankness..." Lawrence, who once disfavored Andrew in Warm Fire City, frowned and said, "Are you joking, President? You said Andrew had captured Catherine? Alive?" He looked around, "If that's true, then where is Andrew now?"
Before Andrew took on the role of Product Creative Director for the Fire Creation Plan, the position originally belonged to Lawrence, which was the main reason he couldn't find a liking for Andrew.
Among the high-level members of the Warm Fire Commerce Association, Lawrence wasn't particularly outstanding, and for him to speak to Beiru this way was quite disrespectful.
But he couldn't help it!
