Roman sidles over to Gerri under the guise of handing her another glass of champagne. "So, thank you."
"For what?"
"You know. 'Visionary Chief Operating Officer Roman Roy'. I'm sorry I accused you of trying to fuck me."
"Least I could do." She smiles at him, looking particularly ravishing.
"Also you looked really hot up there."
"I know." She sips her drink casually. "You did good today."
"Shiv was the one who got the deal, even if Dad did yell at her for it. All I did was get bawled out by the senile President."
"And you remained calm and collected. We'll make a real boy of you yet."
"What about the Sandies' proviso? No Roy as CEO?"
"We can work around that."
"Dad would never have agreed to those terms."
"Yeah, well, he was asking for your mother, and Rose, and he made Connor a job offer, so clearly he wasn't in his right mind."
"Tell me about it. He even smiled at me after he blew up at Shiv. That is not a well man."
"I'll be sure to tell him how well you did, when he's better."
"Plans with Laurie tonight?" he asks as she puts down her glass.
"No. Just work. I said I'd go over the terms of the deal and look for any loopholes."
"I can help with that."
She nods. "Alright."
