Razasinha sometimes wanted to answer him: "I have heard it a long time ago, so there is nothing to make a fuss about!" However, he did not have enough courage to deprive Paul Na Have a little joy. "Hey, what's this time?" he asked without enthusiasm. "Channel 2 is showing Maxina Duvall's talk with Senator Collins. It looks like our Dr. Morgan is in trouble. I beg you to watch it right away," Paul said eagerly.

Razasingh pressed a button.Paul's excited face was replaced by the memory of Maxine Duval.She was sitting in the familiar studio talking to the president of the Global Construction Society, who was visibly upset about something.
