"Are you sure you don't want to stay longer? I can host you right now. Think of it as a way to celebrate our cooperation," Richard offered.
Lennart Johansson, a member of UEFA's Legal & Disciplinary Committee, had already agreed to meet at Main Road after Richard promised to finally show him the original evidence from the Francis Lee bribery scandal.
"I'm here with a mask and hood, trying to keep a low profile. What makes you think I'd want to go out to eat with you?" Johansson replied, rejecting the invitation.
Richard didn't push the matter further, understanding the delicate nature of the situation.
"By the way, how's the Martin case going? Do you know any updates?" Richard asked just before Johansson got into his car.
"Don't worry, Graham Kelly has already been warned, and he knows what to do!" Johansson replied quickly, then hurriedly drove off, making sure no one noticed him.
Richard was satisfied with the answer. He turned back and returned to the office.
