Robin quickly nodded. He certainly had to agree that SYX was a little depraved since they were too rich.
Nonetheless, he asked, "Are we going to keep waiting for their CEO?"
Cordy glanced at her watch, wondering if the man was really that hardworking.
She really doubted he would work overnight and therefore said resolutely, "Yeah."
Robin had no choice but to stick with his boss.

Soon, it was 11 PM.
On the top floor, Randy reported, "Ms. Sachs is still waiting, Mr. Levine."
John smiled—she really was as tenacious as ever.
"Should we keep her waiting?" Randy asked. "The air-conditioning downstairs is in full force, and it's getting cold at this hour…"
John looked up at him, and he quickly said, "I'll ask someone to set it warmer."
However, John suddenly said, "Show her upstairs."
"Really?"
"Take her to the waiting room."
What a difficult boss.
"And make sure the room temperature is just right. Bring her fruit, snacks, warm milk—"
"Yes, Mr. Levine." Randy promptly left to make the arrangements.

At the lobby downstairs, the front desk receptionist told Cordy politely, "Ma'am, our CEO will be getting off work soon. If you're still going to wait for him, you may do so at the waiting room outside his office. He can afford you 20 minutes after he is finished with work."
"Okay," Cordy said, agreeing to it immediately—finally, there was hope!
She quickly went to the waiting room with Robin and immediately found it even grander than the waiting room.
The lobby had gotten very cold just then that she was starting to give in, while the waiting room was warmed just right.
