Obviously, Ron knew exactly how to handle the situation.
Elliot was still hot–headed, so it would be better to wait until he cooled off in a few days before
addressing the matter.
Ron sighed deeply, his voice weathered and steady as he said, “As long as Howard doesn’t give in, it’ll
be challenging to remove the trending topics. But you’ve seen his attitude. He publicly announced the

Elliot was stunned, but he obediently opened his mouth. “Why this sudden attentive service early in the
morning? It feels a bit unusual.”
Sheena lowered her gaze, concealing the unusual emotion beneath, and offered another spoonful.
“You did a lot last night. Consider it a little treat for you today, okay?”
