"In business, everyone has their methods. I don't resort to underhanded tactics like secret deals or bullying my way to success. I'm just a small business owner, far from having the capital you possess, Ms. Liora."
My words were delivered without humility or arrogance, yet they carried weight.
"Please spare us small business owners, Ms. Liora. The hat is too big for us to hold up." I smiled gently. "Well, I won't keep you any longer. See you!"
