DAMIEN
Today, I have an important meeting scheduled with James. I made sure Clara was not around by giving her the day off, telling her that there wouldn't be any real estate business to handle today. I preferred she didn't encounter him unless it was absolutely necessary.
As I waited, I saw James approaching me, moving slowly and carefully with the aid of crutches. His smile was nervous and strained. "Thank you so much for considering this offer," he said, his voice filled with gratitude.
I couldn't help but think, why didn’t Dave hit him harder than this? "Have a seat," I instructed, gesturing to the chair in front of my desk.
James nodded and made his way over, lowering himself into the chair with some difficulty. Meanwhile, I retrieved the contract from my desk and then joined him.
