Elise grinned sheepishly at that. "As his boss, you should be held responsible for this."

for an excuse, Raymond was gushing at the top of his lungs. "And guess what? A dozen or so people from different fields were imprisoned in Owen's outpost. After we rescued them—well, to stay alive and to thank us for saving them—they decided to join Smith Co. on the spot. From now on, they'll be working for us. Our base will be welcoming another batch of
