She paused, "Any amount that goes over budget, I'll cover it as soon as possible. Just make sure everything is done to the highest standard!"
After wrapping up her dinner meeting with Halley, Roseanne immediately shared the latest updates with Mamie and Scales.
Mamie: "Roseanne, don't sweat the money. I'll just hit up my dad, Duke, for it..."
Meanwhile, back in his cozy living room in the heart of Georgia, with a TV show playing, a cup of coffee in hand, and cracking some pecans, Duke sneezed loudly. "Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"
"Are you catching a cold?"
"Absolute nonsense! It's just my darling daughter thinking about me!"
"..."
Before Mamie could finish, Roseanne sighed, "Do you think your dad won't have a fit if he finds out you promised money without even asking him?"
Mamie chuckled, "Worry not! To him, money's just numbers. What I'm asking for wouldn't even make a dent."
"..." That's a bit presumptuous.
But in the end, Roseanne still refused Mamie's offer, "I'll take care of the extra expenses."
"But..."
"No buts. It's settled."
That settled it!
Scales cleared his throat, startling Mamie: "You're so quiet, I almost forgot you were here."
Scales, with a hint of regret in his voice, said, "Sorry, I couldn't be of help with the finances."
His family's situation didn't allow him to withdraw such a large amount of cash.
It wasn't that he didn't have it, it was just... complicated.
Roseanne smiled, "With Mamie and me covering the finances, we're set. Your role lies elsewhere..."
Scales: "?"
