Chapter 26
Sage had no intention of engaging in endless small talk with a stranger. “I wonder what type of cooperation you expect when you said that you would like to form a partnership with me?” she said, cutting straight to the chase.
“I’m interested in that piece of land in the northern Suburbs of Salem City,” said Yoel, who also kept it short and simple. He did not beat around the bush.
“Oh, really?”
Sage studied Yoel who was dressed in a V-shaped collared suit, and who looked at her with an air of playfulness. She had a feeling that Yoel was here to impress her, rather than to discuss work.
With nothing to hide, Yoel sat still, allowing Sage to study him, and he even flirted with her a little. “So, what do you think? I look quite handsome in this suit, don’t I?”
The words flowed out of him so easily that he sounded quite narcissistic.
Sage was not the type to lie, so she replied honestly, “Not bad.”
“The main point here is the person who chose the shirt has good taste,” he said.
Sage noted that the man in front of her, without a doubt, had a silver tongue.
Clearing her throat softly, Sage added, “In retum for your compliments, let me tell you something. The piece of land in the northem suburbs is owned by my uncles and I. But I have no intention of tuming it into a golf course.”
“Well of course. Whether it’s the landscape or the condition of the soil, that piece of land is not suitable as a golf course. It’s more suited as a racecourse.
“So, you will have to agree that we are both on the same page, wouldn’t you agree?” said Yoel with a shrug of his shoulders.
At the mention of a racecourse, Sage’s face softened and she looked somewhat interested. “What do I get in return for partnering with you?”
Upon hearing this question, Yoel was confident about securing the partnership with Sage.
He smiled and said, “The Fultons tend to be aggressive and stubbom, and we usually split the profits 80 to 20. However, as I plan on pursuing you, I’m willing to make a sacrifice and go 50 – 50. What say you?”
