Will's inate sense of fairness comes into play, though I'm a little surprised he hasn't contacted the shadow Minister. Of course, politically, that could be deadly...
Okay, Andrew is willing to fight to win Will back. But that's going to hurt Marc. There's no way this will be a happily ever after story for all three.
Will, and Avery, are learning the reality of politics: that you can't do everything. There either isn't enough money, or there are legacy reasons why the money can't be spent the way they want.
A good chapter. Settling in and starting to get things organised. The only stress was Lisa mentioning Andrew, but I think Will is right. He may call Andrew at some stage, but he has Marc, who has to be his personal priority.
How much was a bluff? They could do what Will said, it was just a case of if they wanted to. Will wouldn't want to, because of the damage it would do to the company, but if the alternative was leaving the company in Bruce's control, why not?
There's more of the Major in Will than he maybe willing to admit. Will is planning a military campaign against an enemy, and that enemy doesn't know what Will is capable of doing.
