The Deal 소설 & 이야기

“Not everything is about money, It's really going to cost you…it might even cost you your position, do we have a deal?” “Anything.” “Then consider it done.”

Julian adjusts the cuff of his shirt, uneasy. He stands at the head of the conference table, Adele by his side in a crimson suit and pants. Julian's voice rings out, calm and commanding. "Our quarterly projections show a potential increase in stakeholder trust, provided we maintain our momentum in Southeast Asia. The Madrid deal is still being reviewed—" At the end of the table, Alex’s phone buzzes. At first, he ignores it. Then it buzzes again. And again.

He turned to leave when Maddox's voice stopped him. "What about the offer?" "Do we have a deal?" Slade asked after a slight weight. "Deal."

He wanted something, and no matter what it was, I was ready to do it. “If you can pay fifty million, I'll let all this go away. You have three minutes.” He didn't need to speak twice, as I ran to my room and grabbed my phone. The screen was cracked a little, but it still had its uses. Was this man joking with me? Fifty million dollars was a piece of cake for me. I could even pay five hundred million if he requested it. “Huh?” My bank app declined the payment. I stared into the stranger's face apprehensively, all the while checking the time. I had one minute and thirty seconds left.

My voice was dripping with sarcasm. “The deal,” he simply replied. “What deal?” I asked, tilting my head forming innocent confusion. “The deal you stole from your twin brother, Lucas. That’s the deal I’m talking about,” Jackson stated. “Hold on, now. Steal is such a harsh word, don’t you think?” I pointed out.

My heart was fucking pounding. “Deal?” He asked seductively. “Deal,” I replied. Was it the easiest deal or the hardest deal that would burn us? itsclarixass

The summoner and the summoned and a deal is about to be struck. "Why have you summoned me” I questioned cheekily "I want to make a deal" The puny mutt replied hotly "A deal? Well you have got nothing to offer me Tricia Bennet. You are mate less and barren. What could you possibly offer me?" "That's all because of that bitch. But I swear I will give you anything, just help me out please"

The question came out simple. But it carried everything. Adrian didn’t answer immediately. Because there was no easy answer. No clean version. No way to make it sound better. Finally— he said— “I needed the deal.” Aurora’s fingers curled slowly. Of course. The deal. It always came back to that. “And I was part of it.” Not a question. A statement. Adrian didn’t deny it. “Yes.” Aurora nodded once. Almost like confirming something in her mind. “Leverage.”

Zoe said folding her arms. "So, we got a deal?" Alex asked leaning on Zoe. I don't think this would be hard. "Deal" I replied shaking hands with them. Such crazy friends I got. ÷... ÷

Truly, if I knew he was the one in that car, I would have forgot about the dress. He huffed, obviously in disgust. He stood up and took two steps toward me. "You will pay for what you did. For ruining my appointment. Not only that, don't think I'm the sweet guy you all saw on TV. All that was pretense. Get ready tomorrow, you're going to meet my father. Act like we are truly in love. That's the deal. And don't do anything stupid cause you'd regret it." He concluded, the he moved till we were an inch apart from each other.
