Hall Corporation was the pinnacle of the business world, and many were proud to work for that company.
Warwick looked at Austin and said mockingly, "Dude, if you don't have what it takes, don't try to pursue women at all. Stand in front of a mirror and take a good look at yourself. Why don't you let me have your woman? I'll shower her with gifts on your behalf. It's no problem."

A chill ran down Lillian's back while Warwick was in a daze.
This man had such an air of authority. Was he someone important?

Austin looked like a nobody, so Warwick told himself that he need not worry.
Warwick sized Suzanne up lewdly and said maliciously, "Why don't you think about being with me?"
