Shall we he said leading the way as he made small talk, he showed her the bar then the garden but the whole time she kept quiet, and that made him get the feeling she didn't like him

I get the feeling you don't like me he finally said pissed by the silence ”

And what makes you think that she said not even trying to hide it ”

You make it so obvious how can I not see it he said with a cold chuckle ”

Sorry if you feel that way but I'm not a people pleaser, I hate pretending she said glaring at him as she could tell he had hidden Intentions for giving her the tour

Being nice wouldn't kill you you know considering that I have just saved you from boredom he said sounding pissed

I never said I needed saving especially by a rude stranger she said coldly"

I get the feeling you're not the sunny type Miss Rose" he said with sarcasm

And what's that supposed to mean she asked before she could bite her tongue" she then realized it made her sound bothered

It simply means you're rude he said looking at me straight in the eyes"

Excuse me she said raising her eye brows in disbelief" never had she ever been so offended" within a few minutes of knowing him she had manage to make an enemy

You're rude he repeated coldly not holding back as he could see his words had hit straight to the gut"

I heard you the first time around" Scott" and if you haven't realized you're not a very pleasant person to be with either she shot back in anger

I wouldn't bet on it she said coldly

What do you really want she asked as she could see he wasn't there because of generousty he clearly had hidden intentions

I want us to talk business he said halting his steps"

She wasn't surprised by what he said but somehow it made her feel angry" maybe because he acted like he didn't know who she was and intentionally approached her for her status"

Business she scoffed looking at him coldly"

Took you long enough to say it, but you finally came clean she said her voice cutting through the air like a sharp blade,

I hate to say it but it's your bad luck" I don't do business outside my office she said turning her wheelchair around

You're standing in my way she said coldly as he blocked her wheelchair

I wasn't done talking

Well I was and I think I was clear when I said I don't want to do business with you she said firmly, glaring at him

I think you're letting personal grudges get in the way of business, I agree that you don't like me but that's not a reason to be an unreasonable jerk

Did you just call me a jerk she asked angry"

Yes, I believe I did but you made me he said having finally lost his patience, he was done playing nice, if she wanted rude he was going to give it to her"

Scott Foster you have just made a powerful enemy she said dangerously
