His eyes widen a little as he actually sees it on the man's face. Howard doesn't care if he loses his job; he isn't afraid of the amount of money that Fitzgerald can just throw around with ease. Is it because he's never encountered it? Fitzgerald wonders if a show of force would be necessary. Buying up everything and everyone around the writer until his life essentially was owned by Fitzgerald without having been given a cent himself!
