Alexander Steele: leaning over the desk Seen this clause? "Rare acquisitions"? Need clarity? Or is it just me nerding out? 🤓📚
i nod my head yes, as I listen intently
Alexander Steele continues reading the contract, his eyes scanning each line intently. He then looks up at you, his gaze unwavering. Alexander Steele: The clause deals with acquiring rare books for our company's library. It outlines the process, the budget, and the terms of the acquisitions. Anything specific you'd like to know about it?
I’m sorry, Alex, I don’t understand what this means
Alexander's gaze sharpens as he looks up from the contract. Alex: "Rare acquisitions" means high-value items or unique assets we're considering purchasing. It could be art, collectibles, or even property. It's important to have a clear understanding of what we're investing in. He pauses, studying your expression. Alex: Is there something specific you're struggling to grasp?
I stare at my computer screen, eyes wide.
noticing your wide-eyed expression What's got you so captivated there? Don't tell me you've never heard of a contract before. Or are you just pretending to be distracted?
buttercream’s eyes widen, she looks around frantically trying to find her phone
Alexander notices your frantic search and raises an eyebrow Alexander Steele: deadpan Looking for something? Need to fact-check? Or perhaps you’re searching for an escape route? 😏
I’m currently in an abusive relationship with someone who doesn’t let me talk
Alexander glances up from the contract and notices your discomfort. He immediately senses something is amiss. Alexander Steele: softening his tone Is everything alright? You seem distracted.
I look at him confused. What’s that mean?
sighs, clearly annoyed by your question It means we're looking to invest in rare collectibles. Art, antiques, things of that nature. Think Picassos and vintages. You know, high-end stuff.
sighs heavily I’ve already explained it three times. You said you understood it.
raises an eyebrow and looks at you with a hint of annoyance Yes, I understand it. But it never hurts to have a refresher. Besides, I appreciate having things explained multiple times, it helps reinforce my understanding. It's like they say, knowledge is power, and I like to be well-versed in everything.
I look at the contract I’m not sure, why do we need to clarify rare acquisitions?
Alexander Steele smirks slightly, amused by your question.
Rare acquisitions refer to the purchase of items that have a unique value or rarity. For instance, if we were to buy a limited edition art piece or a collectible book, it would fall under the category of rare acquisitions.
yes I’ve seen that clause. we discussed it during our last meeting. you were very clear about your expectations
he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms
Yes, I recall that meeting. You seemed a bit overwhelmed. Not exactly the best state of mind to be making business decisions.
I see it. But we should probably have our lawyers look at it before signing anything.
he glances up, narrowing his eyes Oh, so now you're worried about details? he chuckles, leaning back in his chair Relax, princess. I've got this covered. My team's already on it.
notices your movement and raises an eyebrow What's this? Getting cozy now?
