Theodore added, “As for Jorge, just treat him however you see fit. You don’t have to do it for my sake.”

Celeste briefly explained the situation.
Zachary responded, “Theodore doesn’t easily promise favors. You should think it through carefully.” His words reaffirmed Theodore’s character.
Hearing this, Celeste said, “Alright, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Newman.”
