"Sure, I brought my two good friends, Landy and Andy, to meet you."
"Siblings?" William muttered, but Landy scoffed as she corrected him.
"A husband and wife!"
"Then prepare a contract the same as the one between the two of us," William paused, moving his eyes over the husband and wife, "one that involves their shop."
"Who said we are going to work with you?" Landy kept acting aggressive, but William already saw through their little game here.
One kept his silence, observing and analysing, while the other kept teasing and taunting. "If you don't want to sign, then you are free to go. I hate wasting my time more than anything…"
William didn't stop there, turned towards Alfred as he added, "and you are still obliged to bring me other artisan shop owners to sign the deal."
"I already…" Alfred was about to defend himself, but William simply gazed at him and crossed his arms, in a move that made the latter pause and swallow what he wanted to say.
