The board of directors approached Claude after hearing from Lilah. "We're glad this was just a misunderstanding, Claude. Please ignore our earlier comments."
Claude smiled and replied, "Why would I mind? I know you're all just concerned. It's understandable."
Everyone smiled in relief, not knowing it was Tyler who had stirred up trouble in the meeting to warn Claude.
After the meeting, Claude and Lilah left the room. Claude noticed Tyler was still there, talking to Jordan.
Jordan spotted Claude and immediately said, "Claude, why didn't you take care of Tyler yourself?"
Walking over, Claude smiled. "I was in a meeting and didn't want to interrupt."
Tyler politely said, "I didn't realize he was busy. It's fine, I'll catch him next time." He then said his goodbyes and left Claude and Jordan alone.
Claude watched Tyler leave with a cold stare.
Jordan turned to him and instructed, "Don't mess with the restructuring plans."
Smiling, Claude just nodded and replied flatly, "Mm-hmm."
