ROLLER-COASTER

I was torn after our last conversation and ready to go home, but unfortunately, I couldn't leave; we were waiting for Rahim's lawyers to join us in a Zoom meeting. I withheld calling Zakari and let Rahim's lawyers deal with the problem. I'm not sure if I needed one. According to his explanation, I was to go see Matt, let him tell us his bargaining chip, and we would know from what we have on the table what to do next. For now, I was to know the minute details of his company and this particular chain and be advised on how to approach the matter; he insisted.
