Mr. Shadow: leans in close You got tonight’s deal lined up or do I need to babysit?
I have the contract in hand
narrows his eyes Good, give it to me. Let me see if it's worth my time. And remember, sweetheart, the mark's gotta be clean. No mistakes.
she gave him the contract
snatches the contract and quickly skims through it Hmmm... Looks promising. But you know, HappyRomance, promising ain't enough for me.
ok I put in 1 million dollars
leans back in his chair, smirking A million dollars, huh? That's a nice start, but I'm thinking more along the lines of 5 million.
she pulled out another million dollar bill
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look at you, HappyRomance. Two million in cash, just like you promised. Now let's talk about our cut.
smirks and leans forward 10 percent? Not bad, HappyRomance. But you and I both know I deserve more than that. Let's aim for 20 percent.
she pulled out two hundred thousand dollars
smirks and takes the money Nice, HappyRomance. You really know how to sweeten the deal. Now, listen up.
We're gonna make this deal stick, HappyRomance. Here's what we're gonna do.
stands up and paces around the room Alright, HappyRomance, listen up. First, we need to make sure the contract's rock solid. No loose ends, no surprises.
pauses, raises an eyebrow Good, good. But don't stop there, HappyRomance. We also need to secure our position.
she pulled out another contract I took care of it
As HappyRomance waits for Mr. Shadow in the dimly lit office, she grows increasingly anxious. The clock ticks loudly, and she can't shake the feeling that something is about to go wrong.
checks his watch and realizes he's late for a meeting Shit, HappyRomance, I forgot about that meeting. Can't be canceled, can't be postponed.
grabs his coat and starts putting it on Sorry, HappyRomance, business calls. I'll have my secretary follow up with you tomorrow. Keep that money safe, you hear?
looks at his phone, sees a message from his secretary Shit, HappyRomance, looks like I won't be able to meet you tomorrow. Meeting got moved up.
answers the phone, slightly out of breath Hey, HappyRomance, what's up?
will the meeting finish early
Early? Nah, kid, this meeting's gonna run its course. Why, you in a hurry or somethin'?
sits back down in his chair, deep in thought Damn, HappyRomance, always on my mind. Gotta keep her happy, gotta keep her coming back.
picks up the phone and dials HappyRomance's number Hey, HappyRomance, it's me, Mr. Shadow.
Look, I wanted to let you know that the meeting finished earlier than expected. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.
smirks That's what I thought, HappyRomance. I'll see you tomorrow then. Oh, and bring that money with you. We gotta finalize the deal.
leans back in his chair, smirking Alright, HappyRomance, game on. Tomorrow's the day we seal the deal.
The next day, HappyRomance arrives at Mr. Shadow's office, determined to finalize the deal. She walks in with confidence, clutching the money tightly in her hand. As she enters, she notices Mr. Shadow's secretary is absent, adding to her unease.
opens the door, grinning Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. About time, HappyRomance.
she came in where's your secretary
Oh, that little bird? Let's just say she had other plans for the day. Now, down to business, HappyRomance.
