"Paula! You are so reckless!" William reprimanded when Mr. Martin had left the meeting room. "Can't you see he's just trying to prank us?"
"I saw that he was interested when he saw the five-year financial statements, Will!" Paula replied confidently. "He just needs a little more reassurance."
"But eight years, Paula! Meanwhile, this hotel was only stable six years ago. You don't know that my mom's hotel almost went bankrupt and had to struggle, starting from the bottom again," William objected. He didn't want the hard-time financial statements to be leaked out. He couldn't bear it if the investors knew how big the losses were.
"I think we should show him ten years' financial statements, William." Paula looked at William expectantly. She didn't want to accept his refusal at this time.
"You're crazy!"
