Bertha Haines thought she had escaped, but just as she reached the elevator, she was stopped by Amos Smith's bodyguards. Resigned, she had to turn back.
"Why are you back again?"
Olivia Thompson had just finished greeting the director when she saw her two little stars returning, looking as if someone owed them money.
As Bertha arrived, she casually picked up a glass of wine.
Marvin Howard and Oswald Thompson instinctively made way for her.
"Weren't you feeling unwell? Why are you back?"
"I wasn't feeling great earlier, but I stepped out for some fresh air and feel much better now," Bertha explained casually, then raised her glass towards Amos Smith. "General Manager Smith, I'll drink it all, you do as you please."
She couldn't be bothered to say more.
Bertha downed the entire glass in one go.
Amos Smith furrowed his brows slightly, then took a glass handed by Manson and, in a show of respect, drank it all in one swig.
