"Well, then it is settled, Mr. De Valois. Thank you for sharing your time with me." I gladly said goodbye with a scarce smile while taking my shoulder bag up.
At last, after hours of having a monologue in front of this silent freak, I finally managed to get a foreign investor. However, it seemed quite new in business as his name isn't that popular, isn't it? But that doesn't concern me anymore, as long as he stays true to his words.
And I still need to meet another so I should hurry up. For I should also leave this unfathomable and super-duper cheap in words man as I even don't know if his eyes are naturally as teary as how I see it, but how is it so infusing? As if he has his own alluring world in there where what he always sees is somewhat saddening, which is making him so quiet? But why do I care anyway, I was able to sign a deal with him. And.... that's what matters!
"Sida." Was my understanding of his sudden probably one in a million murmur that stopped me from inwardly screaming?
I can't help but raise my eyebrow as I frankly don't know if he's still talking to me or perhaps he is but in a different language? Oh, maybe he's telling me to go away instantly? Perhaps, I didn't hear it right because I was so celebrating inside? But what if he changed his mind?!
Ah! Calm down, self!
"Uh… yes?" That was all I can say after those many attempts of understanding his own words. I just hope he repeats it. Or else I will instantly run so that he won't have any chance to cancel the agreement if he wanted to.
He slowly put his wine down and looked straight at me. "Sit down." He shortly repeated.
Right, he isn't really the one to be nervous, is he? If analyzed properly, he is sitting aristocratically calm. Which seemed to attract our whole surroundings because I can feel varied stares from different directions. Yeah, whatever. I still need to hear what he is going to add.
"Anything else?" I nervously inquired as I slowly and warily sat down back. I can't help but feel uneasy about this.
Weirdly eyeing me up and down as if he just saw me is what he did next upon me sitting back. Should I just really run? But he knows where I live, where our family lodge stands, and where my office is!
Wait? Why am I being afraid anyway? He is a businessman and quite the rich one who reserved our lodge. That's why I decided to offer him a deal. In which he just signed!
Oh, he merely smiled… Wait?!
"You smiled?" I thought he had some kind of disease that made his entire senses permanently scowl? As his companions, Alejandro and Rosario once said he has long lost his smile.
"Why not?" He out of nowhere asked as I am busy analyzing if his smile is fake or – wait?! Did I just blurt out my words?
I instantly covered my mouth at the late realization as I also tried to hide my whole body on the table. What a dangerous mouth.
Mustering my left pride, "I apologize, Mr. De Valois, it was just so rare to see you smile. Anyway, why did you make me sit back again?" I explained embarrassedly with a sudden swiftness of topic for this humiliating situation to stop. I am drowning here with mortification you know.
But... Why is he now smirking? I promise this man is playful! If only he wasn't a business partner of mine, I would really love to step into his boastful pride.
"I will revamp your small lodge if you want to." Grabbing his drink, he coldly stated with his resonant voice.
Did he say revamp our small lodge? Am I supposed to be happy or not? Because judging from the words themselves, it already is mocking. Which is raising my presumption that something is indeed fishy. I just can't pull their scales out yet, to see what's inside.
