Vera Wave gripped the contract in her hand, her fingers tightening, her small teeth gnashing audibly.
After a moment, she composed herself, her smile returning.
"Alright, the Kade Building, huh? I'll make sure to have a double seat reserved for you."
This time, it was Kris Cooper's turn to be astonished.
He had initially thought the young girl would fly into a rage. He never imagined she would accept this contract so calmly.
Vera Wave clasped the contract, then gave him a little wave.
"See you at noon, Manager Cooper!"
Kris Cooper watched in bemusement as Vera turned and left his office, cheerily shutting the door behind her. The moment the door closed, the smile on Vera's face instantly vanished, replaced by furious anger.
She clenched her small fists, punched the air forcefully a few times, then gritted her teeth and muttered, "Damn you, Kris Cooper! Just you wait!"
She had already signed the contract; what was done was done. Nothing she could say now would change a thing.
