Albert Brown found Elder Peterson and the others, planning to give Amelia Sanchez a surprise. However, they had already eaten dinner and were preparing to go home.
Seeing Albert Brown, nearly everyone had the same reaction: Big Brother went too far!
"Where's Amelia?" Albert Brown stood at the entrance, blocking everyone from leaving. He originally intended to pay the bill, but Elder Peterson had already paid using Amelia's card.
Amelia Sanchez was a very generous boss, never stingy about letting her people use her card.
