Robert laughed.
Money was what Robert desperately needed now, but how could he just take money from Cassius?
"I couldn't do that. Feelings are fickle. One day you love her, and another day you'll be smitten by another young lady. Besides, we aren't close for me to be taking money from you," said Robert.
"Then, let's make it all about business and nothing to do with Harper. We can write up a contract that I'll give you the money you need to get yourself back in order, and once you get back on your feet, you can start repaying me," Cassius proposed.
Robert thought about it. He didn't know Cassius well enough to take money from him.
