Chapter 63

• Arianna could clearly see how tense Samuel's face was at the moment. Throughout the journey home, the man was unusually quiet. Perhaps he was troubled thinking about the current issues. Or maybe he was deeply contemplating the approach or strategy to resolve the current turmoil.
• Upon reaching home and finishing dinner, Samuel chose to head straight to his home office. He busied himself preparing everything and often received several phone calls from clients. Most of them wanted clarification about the sensational news today. Some offered moral support, while others, without preamble, terminated their business relationships to avoid tarnishing their reputations.
• Feeling the need to provide extra support, Arianna specifically followed Samuel to his workspace. Holding a cup of hot coffee, she approached her husband, who was sitting in his office chair. "What are you up to?" Arianna asked as she handed him the coffee, standing momentarily next to him.
