"I don't care what you think Morgan. I have been friends with Stacey since we were tiny. There is no way I'm standing around letting you treat her like this."

"What happened between the two of us is none of your business. When she finally decides to grace me with the opportunity to discuss our situation with her, I will try to sort something out." Morgan stood and walked out from behind his desk. "Until then, I would appreciate it if you would let me get back to work and keep your nose out of something that doesn't concern you."

After spending the weekend with Stacey he had a different idea of how he wanted to run the new gold mine.
