“Okay, deal.” Damon said, while not believing he was going to handle this kind of woman. But he had had already started the transaction with her, so why not go with the flow?
He saw how Elvia smirked triumphantly at him, making it known indirectly that she had the upper hand at the moment.
“So how much am I getting for helping you out?” she asked and took her seat.
Damon couldn’t believe that this woman was trying to take control of the situation, but he couldn’t think of anyone that could fit the position.
“I will give you five percent of my inheritance once I get it and then we can forget that we ever met or knew each other.” He said and let go of her hand that he held to stop her from leaving.
She shook her head, and looked at him, still not happy with what he said.
The smile wiped off her lips, she turned serious and looked at him, annoyance clearly written all over her face.
“what now?” Damon asked, as he stared intently at her. What else did she want? He was already offering to give five percent of his inheritance which he wasn’t even supposed to, so what else did this woman want from him?
Elvia shook her head and let out a scoff…
“Five percent?!!! Really? Is that the best you can do? She asked while looking down at him as she was standing.
“Gosh!! What else do you want? Let’s not forget you also need me to get even with your ex-boyfriend” Damon said as he had lost his cool at this point. She was too demanding and knew how to play the cards in her favor, and he was starting to hate her for being a pain in the neck.
‘who does she think she is? It’s not like she’s that beautiful, but extra demanding’ he thought.
‘Or maybe she’s one of those DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT’S COVER beauties.’ The woman had long straight hair which she didn’t bother to tie up, tall for a woman, and has a body that could…. He nodded, while realizing that she had a body to die for. She had curves in all the right places.
The turtle necked red dress she was putting on further highlighted her radiance as it fitted her body.
“Hello? Are you even paying attention?” her voice brought him back from being lost. He was startled, so he quickly nodded to her, not noticing that he had already started checking her out.
“I passed your standard huh?” she asked with a mischievous smirk.
Gosh! What has he done? He forgot that the woman in front of him was conceited. He couldn’t believe that he had to condone with this woman, as his first thought of her was quite wrong.
He thought that she was vulnerable and she would be jumping at his offer, but he thought wrong this time.
The woman sure was something. It felt like he was negotiating a business transaction, but this was worse as the woman wanted a part of his inheritance, while still not being happy with the share he was offering her.
He couldn’t find the right word to describe this woman, and he was short of words to say to her. She was even more shrewd than he was, and his patience had started to run thin.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, as he had to be careful with the kind of words, he would use to speak to her.
He raised one of his brows at her.
“Speak… what else do you want? That’s already five percent, and I don’t see anything else you should be getting on this one. Let’s not forget you also need me.”
“I don’t need your help!” she snapped at him.
Damon shook his head. He knew instantly that he wasn’t going to win this discussion when it concerned this woman.
“well, let me check… so you said you are Damon Ryker. Are you one of the heirs of the Ryker’s Elite Hotel Chains?” she asked while looking at him.
Elvia was looking at her phone and it seemed that she was checking out something on the screen. He couldn’t point out exactly what was running through her mind.
He nodded, still confused as to why she was asking.
“why do you ask?” his voice filled with curiosity.
“Well, I have something in mind. To book an appointment, meet with the current owners, AKA your mother and your father, and tell them what you wanted me to do.” She said, while smiling smugly at him.
“if you think you can play around with me, then I’m assuring you that you got another thing coming for you, as you chose the wrong person to mess with. I am getting a fair share on this one” she said.
His eyes narrowed at the threat, and it just seemed unbelievable. “what do you think you are doing?” he said with clenched teeth and fists. This woman was really trying her luck while getting on his nerves. This was the first time he was being threatened, and that too by a woman.
She tried not to look affected by his imposing aura, “if you want me to agree with what you are offering, you have to offer a contract with everything I can get from this agreement, and also the things I would do for you. Then let’s see if I would be impressed with how it will turn out. Meet me here on Friday, by ten in the morning if you are still interested in the contract signing.” Without waiting for his reaction or response, she walked out of the restaurant.
Damon Ryker was flabbergasted, as it felt like she was the one presenting the offer to him.
How unheard of!
