Sure, he had some clout, but it wasn’t worth a hill of beans compared to Elio.

He’d heard about Elio’s tricks and now he was kicking himself, “Mr. Elio. Mr. Elio! It’s a misunderstanding! It’s all just a misunderstanding. I was just joking around with Ms. Irvine. I was only joking, I swear. I meant no disrespect!”

“Sure.” Elio’s gentle tone when speaking to Astrid was so unexpected that it nearly knocked Carla’s socks off.
