"Mr. Hogg, we're in the middle of a meeting. What on earth do you think you're doing?!" a shareholder admonished.

Spencer followed closely behind Damon. Observing which suggested steady steps, he had regained his usual unshakable composure, Spencer quickly caught up to him. "Mr. Sumner-" he began.
Damon cut him off, "I need to go to the accident site." He refused to believe anything Spencer said until he saw it for himself.
Noticing Damon's resolute'expression, Spencer sighed with a hint of pity. "Mr. Sumner, going there won't change anything. Ms. O Jayston's car has been reduced to a shell... and with the explosion, there won't be a Complete body..." "Until I see the body with my own eyes, I won't believe a word you say," Damon spat.
