"Let me rephrase the question." He said, "Don't you get high while negotiating a business deal successfully?"
Alysé's eyes sparkled and she nodded enthusiastically.
"That's fulfilment," Kian said with satisfaction; "That's what I feel too. There is nothing better and above that feeling." He said emphatically.
Alysé smiled too.
"Last night, we were negotiating a different deal." He said as an afterthought.
Alysé turned crimson red.
"I don't think I would like any other partner," he said with much emotion. "You are designed to my liking, you always were, even when you were young."
Alysé was touched to the core. She reflected on his words and recognized the fact that there was certainly a kind of affinity between the two of them. She naturally gravitated towards him.
