Darius just felt pure joy in his heart. He felt good as he saw Philip throbbing silently in anger. The plump man had turned red from his head downwards in anger. But he couldn’t do anything or say otherwise. He had a reputation to keep! So he was trying to force a smile at the people while looking for a way to escape from there.
