"Well... Sounds like a hassle."

"It's really not that much of a hassle."

Lance found himself at a loss for words. Clearly, Bettie wouldn't be the one inconvenienced by this arrangement. He came to realize this fact. He knew he could voice his concerns about the contracts. But he also knew she wouldn't budge on making any changes.

Without further questions, Lance asked, "Okay, then. When do we sign the contracts?"

"So, you're on board?" Bettie looked surprised. As she drafted the contracts, she intentionally included several terms that benefited her. She had anticipated Lance would negotiate further, but his immediate contracts caught her off guard.
