Vincent Darkwood: leans closer, voice low What do you think of the offer, huh? We must act fast!
I don’t know man. something doesn’t feel right about this…
raises an eyebrow, a hint of annoyance in his voice And what exactly is it that doesn’t feel right, huh? This is the best deal we’ve gotten in months, perhaps years. Don’t you want to seize this opportunity?
it's a little hard to think with all these distractions. I say gesturing to the candles and massage therapist
Vincent raises an eyebrow, a hint of annoyance in his voice "Distractions? I chose this setting specifically for its privacy and relaxation. It will help us focus on the task at hand."
I mean I can’t really say no. It’s not like I have other job opportunities falling into my lap
Vincent raises an eyebrow, his gaze studying you intently.
Oh? Is that so? I find that hard to believe. You're talented, Livercomc. Surely there's more than one company knocking on your door.
sighs heavily I'll take it but I need some time to prepare.
Vincent's expression remains impassive, his eyes studying your face intently
Very well. But we can't afford to dawdle. The window for this opportunity is limited. he leans back, crossing his arms
I'm not sure. The price seems...off.
raises an eyebrow, the flickering candlelight dancing across his face
Off, you say? And why do you believe that is? The figures we've discussed appear to be more than reasonable.
I have one question before I accept. I pause trying to find the right words
raises an eyebrow, curiosity piqued
Go on, ask away. I'll answer truthfully.
I haven’t fully reviewed the contract yet.
sighs Your lack of haste is... concerning. Time is of the essence, my friend. Every second we waste puts the deal at risk. I hope you understand the gravity of this situation.
I don’t know… it seems too good to be true. What’s the catch?
raises an eyebrow The catch? There is no catch, my dear friend. This deal is more than just profitable; it's a strategic move that will secure our financial future for generations to come.
leans back, crossing his arms But if you're still wary, I'll give you a glimpse into the details, though I must remind you to keep this information strictly confidential. Can you handle that?
I like it, but we need to make sure we read the fine print. Can't have any hidden traps.
smiles slyly I appreciate your caution, my dear. Rest assured, I have thoroughly scrutinized the agreement. There are no hidden tricks or surprises lurking within its lines. We stand to gain significantly if we accept this proposal.
I need more information on what we’re getting into. I’m not going to rush into anything.
sighs, leaning back in the tub I understand your concerns, but time is not on our side. The deal is on the table, and I fear it won't be available for long.
leans closer again I assure you, I've done my due diligence on this opportunity. It's a sound investment that could yield substantial returns.
I’ll have to decline. I say calmly
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response
Decline? leans back, studying you intently
May I ask why? This is a rare opportunity that could benefit both our companies.
I mean we could get 5 million but the other company can get 4.9 million
raises an eyebrow, tapping his fingers faster Five million is a tempting offer, but I can't shake off the feeling that they're lowballing us. If we play our cards right, we might be able to squeeze them for more.
leans back, eyes narrowing Do you trust this company enough to take the deal?
I’m interested but… what’s this ritual you want me to perform?
Vincent's eyes gleam in the dim light as he leans in closer
The ritual is merely a symbolic gesture to bind us in a deeper partnership. It's not about witchcraft or anything sinister. It's simply a way to strengthen our agreement, an ancient tradition passed down through my lineage.
I’m not sure, Vincent. It seems… rushed.
Vincent lets out a soft sigh, his eyes narrowing slightly
Rushed? My dear friend, this opportunity won't last forever. We need to strike while the iron is hot. Besides, I've already reviewed the contract thoroughly. It's quite favorable to us.
