"Did... didn't talk about anything..." Mrs. Varley tried to cover it up.
But Anthony already moved fast and snatched the list away.
He looked it over, making tut-tut noises of admiration.
"Man, you're really not afraid of anything!"
"Even I'm tempted, just looking at it."
Varley looked a bit embarrassed.
"Anthony, I..."
He was worried Anthony would lose his temper.
But Anthony didn't blow up; instead, he said to Sarah Sullivan, "When you're doing business, no matter how generous the offer, you still gotta know how to bargain. For example, this breakup fee is already pretty sincere, but you shouldn't just get excited and accept it all. You should ask for more."
Sarah nodded deeply in agreement. "Right, Mr. Varley. So, what else do you think I should ask for?"
