Valentino glimpsed at Warren's expression and knew he hadn't accepted his advice. After watching Warren leave, he fished out his phone and answered an incoming call.

"Mr. Bray, I've dealt with it." He paused and continued, "You know, even without your call, I would've done the right thing. It's not a matter where we can act biased.
