Tori Lynn, of course, knew exactly what was going on, because Archer had called her at the time.
Archer's reactions had all been directed by Tori Lynn in real time. Even the order to throw the phone into the river came from her.
She feigned a helpless look at Archer. "Archer, you're not a kid anymore. Why are you still so impulsive?"
Archer lowered his head. "Ma'am, I really didn't mean to. I just got so angry at that moment. I thought it was my phone, so I threw it..."
"That was a new phone I bought the year before last!" Lydia Lawson was fuming. "You have to pay for it!"
Archer looked at Lydia Lawson with a sincere expression. "Jean, I'll pay you back for the phone, but can you give me some time?"
"How many days do you need?" Lydia Lawson asked.
"Jean, how much did you pay for the phone?"
"Eighty-seven hundred. Since we're colleagues, I'll give you a discount. We'll call it eighty-five hundred."
