Donald sounded very confident as he finished his sentences. He looked straight into Mark's eyes, trying to find anything to confirm his win. He knows the problems which might come because of this, but he felt there might be more profits if he does this. But contrary to what he thought, Mark showed no emotion, no excitement, frown, or even a smirk. He had a blank expression.
That was because Mark was thinking about his response. He did not want them to know about Suzie yet. It wasn't safe. There are still too few people who have advanced and so it is still dangerous. But completely denying it is also not as simple as it seems because the General was spot on and Mark hated faking things. Because he couldn't share information on Suzie, he did the next best thing.
