Seeing Daniel truly about to leave the conference room, Brooks quickly backed down, "Wait, wait, wait! I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"
"Just half a year's salary? I'll grit my teeth and pay up!"
A grating sound, like the grinding of teeth, escaped Brooks's lips, illustrating just how painful this was for him.
Once Daniel had seated himself again, Brooks tried to smile, "Dear Mr. Daniel, can you give me a break? Let's go by the original price, three months' salary. How about it?"
Daniel rejected him flatly, "Perhaps it's best to let Alex decide the worth of that secret."
Saying this, he stood up once more, ready to depart.
Brooks had no choice but to surrender, "Alright, alright! Half a year's salary it is! Come to my office this evening to get it!"
He thought to himself, perplexed.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
