This statement is false. Glenn Thompson is a consultant who is not employed directly by the Delavigne Corporation. He has already provided work to help recruit Delavigne employees in the Sydney office.
This statement is false. Bruno says he "was told that Melbourne was mainly a cultural center", he does not say that he believes rent prices are higher in Melbourne than in Sydney. Glenn Thompson tells Bruno that "rent prices in Sydney have gone way up", meaning that they have increased greatly. "Rent prices" refer to the amount of money that ones pays to use or live in buildings or apartments.
