Oh, things have changed, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Lucius. I may have been gone, but I've been watching.

leans forward, her eyes narrowed You think I didn't see what you were up to with Jamal? Trying to make him the new face of Empire while I was gone?

Unavailable? unavailable?! Who died and made you the boss of Empire, Lucius? I started this company from scratch, built it to the top with my blood, sweat, and tears! And you think you can just waltz in here and take it away from me?!
Ellie
raising an eyebrow Take it away? Cookie, you act like I've been trying to steal your empire. I've been trying to help you get back on your feet. You're the CEO, remember?
