Mrs. Frost was infuriated by him, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only glare at him as he took care of himself, returning to his own room and, not long after, leaving with some of his belongings.

After discussing work matters with Taylor Smith, Ellen Young left.
She was going to see Clinton White first, and Ruffy Smith drove her there.
Throughout the entire meeting with Taylor Smith, they only talked about work, no idle chatter at all. While Ruffy Smith drove her, he caught a glimpse of her hugging her cellphone, reading a comic, and he said, "Aren't you pretty comfortable now? Sometimes, relaxing and cultivating your sentiments is good. You don't have to be so tense all the time. You're not a machine; even you can get tired."
