Victor and Gina were asked to serve on the Budget Committee because ABC Travel Agency started to plan the budget for the next year. A certain amount was being discussed as to which department it should be given. Victor explains to the committee that the amount should be given to his department for them to accomplish their goals. He goes a step further by citing the inefficiencies of each department, including Gina's. He then continues by stating that his department is the one who will use the funds responsibly.

Gina, in response, started to protest and defended her department. "My department needs funds as well in order for us to accomplish our goals," she clapped back. However, it was clear that the committee members are leaning towards the decision of giving the budget to Victor's department. She gave up and remained silent throughout the meeting, not even bothering to raise a hand when the committee votes.

During the rest of the meeting, Gina glared at Victor and started to plot something that will hinder the efficiency of Victor's department.
