"Carol doesn't show this courtesy to just anyone, you know," I remarked, making up an excuse.

Carol immediately shot me a glance, reacting quickly. "It's because you're one of Ms. Chloe's most trusted men. How could I dare be disrespectful?"

Grayson quickly begged for mercy. "I won't dare boss your people around next time."
