Part 2

With both parties being satisfied, they shook hands and Joseph Klen went to his own direction. As the back of the old man slowly fades from his perspective, Aaron's smile that was plastered on his face was now replaced with a cold, stern expression.

He sat back down, an exhausted sighed left his mouth. He thought about the deal that he made today and, although he was not fully interested in the idea nor the person, he couldn't help but smile at the thought of meeting that hag's daughter. With a push of a button on his office's phone, his secretary came into his office.

"Did the meeting went well, sir?" He asked as he stood in front of his boss.

"Yes, I secured the deal." He grinned afterwards, turned his chair around and made eye contact with his secretary. "And guess what, Alex? I got another proposal at that."

The secretary stayed silent for a moment, only to let out a sigh afterwards. "The madam will not be coming home until 9pm tonight, sir.
