Although Allen verdict was decided a while ago, you and I have never really had an opportunity to talk about it. We have both been so busy getting ourselves back on track at work, so we have neglected to discuss our views on these intending of Jones. Maggie: Yea, you're right. It would be good that we talked about the case. Mike: You go ahead to the living room and I'll get us some hot milk tea. Maggie: That sounds good, thank a lot. But, I don't want any sugar in it this time though. Mike: Here we go. It is your milk tea. Maggie: Thank you.
