"I'd like to purchase the design for the dress you posted," Mr. George Harris said.
"So, you want to buy the design itself, not the dress, and own the rights to it?" Emily clarified.
"Exactly," he confirmed.
"I'm afraid I can't sell it," Emily replied.
"Name your price," Mr. Harris pressed.
"I'm not interested in selling, regardless of the offer. That design is my intellectual property, and I invested significant time and effort into creating it," Emily explained.
Mr. Harris sneered, "You're only refusing because you think you're superior."
Emily countered, "Your offer has nothing to do with my decision. I simply won't sell my creation."
Mr. Harris snarled, "Even when I'm willing to pay top dollar, your pride gets in the way."
Emily stood firm, "This isn't about money; it's about ownership and creative rights."
Mr. Harris threatened, "We'll see about that," as he stormed out of the office, slamming the door.
