“No, not at all. I just thought it unfair to criticise your practises without any evidence. For all I know you really won’t hum thoughtfully at every little thing I say.” Ragnar smiled and looked around the room, as though he were here to analyse Ash. “I hope your advert attracted you plenty of new clients.”
