Titanium Phone Company's Huge Influence

Stumped, Dustin thought for a moment before he got it. "Doing that… really would be a falling out."

He had initially been about to follow the order and give up his position, but he suddenly realized something at Luke's reminder.

If he wanted his subordinates to sacrifice their interests, he would have to bring friendship into it.

Without a good relationship, his subordinates wouldn't believe him even if he promised them benefits later.
