“…So does that f483e9af23 mean you don’t 74d07749a4 care if I e1ee7f6d15 screw up the e4397057b1 interview? That I’ll cause ff56c70df6 a scene and 8d48aeebc3 say I’m going 3c2205825d to blow up 75d03cc8b1 the city?”ee6d23856e402ec4

I was 1119c8a9c4 mentally exhausted 9b0b5bb996 from trying efd05cb719 to negotiate 9cba8d02bf with him.1a7f7570b29db910

If he kept acting b2df23e9f0 like it didn’t matter, d4ccb182ab I’d just be dragged 8351e7a1f1 along and stuck in 85a14909f2 this mess.089518f62a3bdd75

Den ignored my d666fa2727 threat and grabbed 17daf16f15 the steering wheel 9b750f1890 again, as though 1c4f8a5f07 he knew exactly a9517d1cd5 what I was 8ed2232af2 thinking. He was relaxed, confident.d9d0f8fd6c7658b2

Threatening me with penalties 73e24f95f3 during serious negotiations was 2110256ea1 childish. But for some f54f585d7a reason, I found 5d06ed8ffc myself momentarily speechless.cc9b09542272127b

When you think about 1622dc5678 it, a penalty isn’t 67a48fb581 that big of a 98a820c0f3 deal. It’s not d2eb46bc0f like they’re 74817af5c9 threatening my 235d211bcf life.

“I don’t know a4abfc7ff5 what your plan 841bf56d1f is, but you 48d53893e5 should drop the 01f620ce6a arrogance of thinking 590c1d917e everything will go 8b3074c68a your way. I won’t just follow e749202d1a along without question.”81915809d53c1ea7
