Oliver's face was as unreadable as ever, showing no hint of what he was feeling. Dominic was stumped, unable to figure out what was going on in Oliver's mind. The uncertainty about whether Oliver would team up with him was making Dominic uneasy.
Trying to keep his cool, Dominic decided to stir the pot a bit. "Oliver, your love for Josefina doesn’t seem all that deep, does it?"
Oliver leaned in slightly. "What are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say depends on what you decide," Dominic replied.
Oliver shot back, "You can’t even get your words straight, yet you expect me to let you off the hook."
He started to leave, but Dominic quickly called out, "Danger is closer than you think! And I'm the only one who knows just how close."
Oliver's eyes darted to George, who was shaking like a leaf. "Mr. Oliver, it’s not me, I swear! I’m as loyal as they come!"
Oliver turned his attention back to Dominic, mulling over his words. Without another word, Oliver walked out. He left his intentions unclear, leaving even George guessing. Dominic smirked with a touch of menace.

Brandon made his way into Oliver's office, leaning heavily on his cane. Oliver returned after a short wait.
"Oliver, where did you disappear to? Have you thought about what we discussed last night? What do you think is the best move?" Brandon asked, his voice tinged with worry.
