Arlo Yarbrough exploded upon hearing that.
He took a step forward and said, "You mean to say we're not important guests, huh?"
"I didn't say that; it's you who insists on interpreting it that way."
The assistant said ambiguously.
Arlo wanted to say more, but Dirk Carter stopped him.
He asked, "Not turning on the air conditioning in the reception room, that's arranged by Mr. Goodman as well?"
The assistant said arrogantly, "Executive Carter, you need to understand, making money as a private enterprise isn't easy. The electricity bill costs money too; we can't waste it on those who don't deserve it."
Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. Please let them know that Dirk Carter was here."
The assistant crossed his arms.
With a slight smile, he regarded that as his reply.
Dirk Carter was about to leave.
Just then, a voice called out, "Hey, isn't this Executive Carter?"
Even without turning around, Dirk Carter knew who it was.
