Carlisle unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp. I've been hounded by this mutt for days, so I just bolted!"
Wanda couldn't help but snort with laughter.
"Next time, take a selfie and show me your sorry state!"
She didn't doubt Carlisle's story. In fact, she was quite curious about how he looked while being chased by a dog.
Carlisle just smiled and remained silent.
"Wanda! I did all that for you!" he retorted inwardly.
Wanda put a piece of paper with a phone number on Carlisle's desk.
"This is the phone number of the chairman of Islo Clothing. My... uncle got it for me and told the chairman about you. So you can set up a meeting with him!"
"Even the chairman of Islo Clothing listens to your uncle, huh? Sounds like he's quite a big shot," Carlisle said with a grin.

"Why not just get sweet tea, then?"
