I rise up and dust my hand. “Let’s go.” “Are we splitting? I think with a split, we can be able to cover more grounds” Kyles says. “Yes, I agree. The mountain hill is too large for us to cover as one. With a split, we can cover more grounds” John adds.

Her actions had put her in this situation, and she was afraid that she might unintentionally harm me if she continued to do things her way. "You seem really down today, huh?"

As she looked at me expectantly, I continued, "Imagine you have a pair of well-branded sneakers that you've worn for a long time. It seems that the left pair starts to show more wear and tear than the right. It's always tripping you up and getting dirtier faster. Meanwhile, the right pair remains in good condition.

With a grimace, Matthew handed me the safe. “Now remember how we split this, Brookes,” he said to me. “Thirty-seventy split. And you are not the majority in this.” “Yes, yes, I remember.” I agreed outwardly but that certainly wasn’t my intention going forward. Once we opened that safe it was definitely time to renegotiate.
