Nancy's laughter echoed in the room, a mix of amusement and disbelief. "Why should I compensate you? Haven't you already been paid by Director Grant?"
Nancy had become a precious asset in Director Grant's eyes, and he wouldn't stand by while she was mistreated.
He bristled at Samuel Wright's audacity, his face hardening. "Samuel Wright! Stop making a fuss. I know we delayed a day, but I compensated you. You've done nothing and received a good sum. You should feel lucky!"
Samuel's anger stemmed from the fact that despite being hired for a handsome sum, he had not been valued. Hearing Director Grant air his grievance in front of the entire crew, suggesting he had somehow benefited unfairly, only stoked his rage.
"Who needs your money? What I value is my time! Do you know how much I can make by playing a game? The money you gave me isn't even worth my time!"
"If it's not worth your time, why are you here?"
Director Grant, known for his temper, wasn't one to be disrespected.
Director Grant, known for his temper, wasn't one to be disrespected. He stepped forward, positioning himself between Nancy and Samuel Wright, his gaze icy. "This is my turf. Stop causing a scene. Shouting at a woman, are you even a man?"
Luna joined Director Grant, standing by his side to shield Nancy. "Do you compete against women in your matches? Shame on you!"

Moreover, in snooker, there are hardly any women's competitions. Women usually play nine-ball, while men are the ones participating in international snooker events.
