“How much do I owe you?” I asked, reaching for my wallet to pay my end of the meal.
“My treat,” he answered simply.
“Oh, thank you,” was all I could say.
“. . .”
“. . .”
The silence was brutal again!
Uncomfortable with the weird atmosphere and the feeling that something was not right, I asked, “Can I sign the contract now?”
Cain stared at me for a time before reaching for his messenger bag. He grabbed a file and handed it to me.
I read the papers he gave to me with thorough focused. My set of unreasonable demands were still there, complete from A to Z.
I didn’t sign it, pretending to skim over it, again and again, waiting for him to say something. But minutes passed and no comment from him.
I raised my head and met his gaze. “Aren’t you going to negotiate about my unreasonable demands?”
I couldn’t stand the silence anymore and wanted this done and over with.
Cain leaned back and crossed his legs in a comfortable position. His brows furrowed a little as he portrayed fake confusion. “Why would I want to do that?”
You’re telling me?! Isn’t this the whole point of this entire charade?! To get to my good side so you can negotiate?!
I didn’t answer.
I was confident enough to claim that I understood men, but the man in front of me was like a complex set of wirings inside a high tech robot. I can’t understand him at all!
Thinking that he would not negotiate with me anymore, I signed my name and swiftly handed the papers back to him.
