Surprised, I found myself reciprocating the gesture. It had been an eternity since someone had extended a true, sincere kindness towards me. In this world of shadows and deceit, genuine emotions were as rare as a summer breeze in the heart of winter.The memory of past encounters flashed through my mind. Those around me had worn smiles as mere masks, a façade to conceal their underlying fear. They had acted politely, not out of genuine kindness, but driven by the dread of my relation with Carmine.

Clyde's sudden chuckle caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of irritation. It was as if his laughter was scraping against my patience. His amusement seemed to mock me. As the seconds ticked by, my annoyance only intensified. It was fueled not only by Clyde's attitude but also by the audacity of his arrogance."This is not going anywhere if he kept this nonsense attitude of his up," I muttered to myself, frustration bubbling beneath the surface like a tempest threatening to break free from its constraints. The notion of finding common ground with Clyde seemed increasingly futile."You wanted to come to terms? That's why you are here?" Clyde's words, dripping with condescension, struck me like a slap to the face."Oh dear, let me correct you then, you are here because 'I' wanted you here," he continued, his tone dripping with smug satisfaction.

I interjected, my voice laced with a veneer of feigned self-assurance. With a piercing glare, I challenged him to persist with his trivial taunts.“I-“ But before Clyde could gather his thoughts and form a retort, I swiftly interjected once more, determined not to grant him the gratification of getting under my skin any further."Good," I declared, my tone clipped and dismissive. "Since you don't have anything else to contribute, let's cut to the chase and get down to business."I turned abruptly, my body language conveying my dismissal of Clyde's presence.

"How bold of you to think that you are worthy of doing anything for me," he remarked, the smirk on his face infuriatingly condescending.Refusing to let his arrogance go unchecked, I mirrored his smile, though mine was tinged with a hint of defiance.
