"Alright. Alright. So, here's the plan." Jin leaned forward, his voice low but urgent, as he laid out the strategy that would change everything. Claire shifted in her seat, the weight of the moment pressing down on her. She had been hoping for a less drastic approach, but it seemed Jin had made up his mind.
He had decided to cut her out of the current conversation they had to avoid any further distractions. The annoyance simmered in Claire; she knew her insights could be valuable, but she also recognized that her incessant chatter had calmed her nerves. She bit back her thoughts, wanting to see where this was headed.
"I am going to do what you said, erm, partially. Again, I shall apologize. It is my fault for not thinking through about the expenses. Never did I expect it to be this high," Jin remarked, his brow furrowing slightly as he considered the ramifications of their plan. Claire opened her mouth to respond, eager to express her concerns, but Jin was quick to cut her off.
