The Representative Calls

Take a call from the online shop's representative: hear him ask if you are Mister Owen, ask who is calling, hear he represents the shop, ask what he wants, hear it is all a misunderstanding, say your face is on the box, hear an offer to settle privately for twenty thousand, and refuse, because it is not a question of money.
