"Honestly," Demilade said tapping his foot on the marble floor. "I want this contract, Tina." She smirked. "Just like you said, a lot is at stake. My money, my workers' sleepless nights, and all the endurance of my attitude toward them... My time... All of it is at stake and I hate to make it fruitless."

"That is the more reason you should give me what I want." She said trailing a finger on his chest.

He took her hand and drop it at her side. He looked up at her and said to her face. "What you're asking for is something that I can't give. You can't get it from me."

"Really?" She said leaning closer. She trailed her nails on his chest and he just stared at them with an impassive face, tired of taking them off.

She is stubborn and adamant. Demilade thought as he watched her.

Tina continued. "You and I both know that you want this deal. You are not so patient. But you really want the deal. You've spent a huge amount of money already and you can't back out. I can just decide to give someone else the deal. What does your fiancée have that I don't? Not like you're going to tell her that you sleep with another woman and my fiance won't even know that it ever happens too. It would be our own little secret. We can pretend like we have never seen each other after that and you will have the contract that you want so badly. You know how much this deal is worth, right? And you can have it in a blink of an eye Demilade." She told him as she leaned closer. "All I need is a pen and it is yours. Just give me what I want Demilade. Stop being stubborn. You want this as badly as I want you." She wrapped her arms around him. She trailed her fingers on his arms with a seductive smile on her face. "This is just a little sacrifice, don't you think? I'm so expensive. You should consider yourself lucky that I even want you. Do you have any idea how many men want to get in my bed? I am letting you have it on a platter of gold." She shook her tit in front of him. "What do you say Demilade?"

"All this is...." He took her hand from his shoulder. "pointless." throwing it down beside her. "because my answer is still no." He said hoarsely.

"Is that really your answer? Think about it Demilade. All the money can.... just vanish in a second if I sign that contract with someone else. So are you sure about your answer?"

"I am sure." He answered firmly with a frown.

She laughed wryly. She leaned close to him and poked his chest with her nails. "You're going to regret your decision." She said every word slowly as if to make it sink into his head. She leaned away and stared hard at him. "You have just one last chance Demilade." She said.

Demilade chuckled. Then this time he stood from his seat at the edge of the table and stepped closer to her. She didn't leave her spot. She just kept watching him, waiting anxiously for what he will do. He leaned down and whispered at the side of her head. "You're never getting what you want Tina. Not this time. You can keep your contract because my answer remains the same. I am never going to sleep with you."

She scoffed and chuckled devilishly. "I'm going to make you regret turning me down." She said turning to face him. He was staring down at her, still in her personal space.

It hurt so much that she didn't even have any effect on him. She hated the exasperated look he use in staring at her. It made her feel inferior and worthless.

"We are both losing, Tina. You're so desperate to have sex with me but you know what?" He tugged some of her blond hair behind her ear. He felt her tense at the action and suck in a breath when his hand grazed her ear. He smirked. "You're really not what you are Tina and that is really bad because I always thought of the opposite. You're damn cheap. Just a hand on you and you're already breathless. You must be so desperate for me." He laughed. "God! You're such a joke. I don't even feel any ounce of feeling for you. I won't even have anything to do with you if you're not the one in charge of the contract. But anyway, I guess it was never going to be mine. And I won't force nature to do so. I am never going to sleep with you. You're not in the League of Women worth being in my bed and you're never going to be." He noticed the veins popping at the side of her head and that brought a smirk to his face.
