"Alright, Clara, just chill out."
After hanging up the phone, Clara paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Meanwhile, in U city, Emmett put down his phone and took a careful look at the PPT made by Lambert. He nodded approvingly, "Meeting adjourned."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing the relaxed expression on his face.
Lambert approached with some documents, cautiously saying, "Mr. Melendez, how about we grab a bite together? I'm not sure if I may have this honor!"
"Sure," Emmett glanced at his watch, "Nothing fancy, I just want to discuss the new project's designs with you privately, don't call anyone else."
"Alright!" Lambert quickly nodded, immediately turning to make preparations.
Emmett also stood up, straightening out his clothes.
Ricardo chuckled softly at his side, "Mr. Melendez, if you're dining with Lambert, do I need to come?"
"You don't want to?"
"Not at all! I'm just afraid I might interrupt your conversation."
"You're one of us," Emmett exited the meeting room.
Ricardo was taken aback, then chuckled and quickly followed.
