Stacy contemplates for a while"fine, we'll give you 60 percent of the benefit"
"Hm? Not enough"
"What!?"
"It's not enough"
She stayed quiet for a while and just when Mark was about to get up she said "how many percent do you want"
Seeing how nervous and helpless the girl looked, Mark sighed "I think 60 percent is still good enough"
Stacy wasn't the only one who was surprised, Mark assistant and Mark himself,he didn't know why he hand just said that but he couldn't take his word back and just added "update the contract and we'll arrange a day to sign it" Stacy quickly nods while Mark and his assistant left
'who said he's hard to deal with' Stacy thought with a smile 'plus he's handsome' Stacy shakes her head 'i shouldn't forget Adrian, relax Stacy'
In the car his assistant kept glancing at him through the rearview mirror "sir are you being serious about signing that contract?" Mark just let's out a sigh, rubbing his temple he waves his hand dismissively"I've already said it"
Days had passed, Stacy and Mark finally signed the contract and now where working on finalizing the the project...they spent time together which wasn't how it suppose to be
Today Stacy and Mark were looking through some documents,it was lunch break so Stacy invited him to have lunch with her,he didn't object,his assistant who knows him for a workaholic was stunned,no matter what,the boss doesn't leave work to have dinner with someone if it doesn't benefit,even Lisa couldn't make him skip work
Mark and Stacy were in a small restaurant,a lot of people were in there dressed casually and not too expensive so Stacy and Mark stood out,their expensive cloth and air of confidence,Stacy ordered French fries and sandwiches while Mark was still going through the menu, growing up,he always ate expensive food and now seeing a ordinary dish,he's knowledge was limited,Stacy kept glancing at him,the waiter who took her order was still waiting,Stacy clears her throat "Mr Mark has never eaten in this kind of place?" Mark nods absentmindedly "have you?"
"It's something I grew up with. Since my mom always loved to live ordinary,why don't I chose something suitable for you"
Marks nods as he hands Stacy the menu "he'll have a hamburger with no pickles,some fried yam and your special tomato sauce"she hands the waiter the menu and he takes his leave
Mark eyes were on Stacy,she noticed it and couldn't help but recall what happened yesterday
Her dad called him into her office and when she arrived he was all smiley "how did you do it? At first I thought it was a joke but coming back to this is such a good thing,it's hard to sign contracts with people like Mr Adrian and Mr Mark,how did you get Mark to sign the contract for only 60 percent benefit"
Stacy knew her father was so excited so she calmed him down and explained everything
"I think he likes you" her father said
"Dad,he was just being polite"
"It's Mr Mark were talking about, he's never pitiful in the business world,try getting close to him"
"Dad! You can't really be telling your daughter to do that?"
"Do you have right to talk,don't forget your mother and sister died because of you so you owe me for not sending you to an orphanage"
Back at the present Stacy and Mark are silently eating their food,it was a quiet meal with a uncomfortable atmosphere... Stacy didn't know what to do,how could she get close to someone who's strictly business...her eyes glittered with tears
