NEGOTIATION

Everyone was thinking about different things.

John takes a look at the girl behind Madame Rey. She is wearing dark blue jeans with a peach top, her hair was tied in a tight ponytail, on the other hand, John was in his usual black color slim fit suit.

He thought, ' She dresses like her. Maybe... I am ready to take a risk to know if she is my Ann or not. This is the better option to know who she is. '

John orders Shawn, " Give them the paper that I gave you in the morning. " He already prepared the contract papers.

While Shawn was investigating Alex, John was investigating this Orphanage and then he get to know about Anna Rey. When he saw her picture, his first reaction is shock. He prepared himself as he knew that he is going to see her. But when she came in front of him, for a second he believed that it was his Ann. That's why he hugs her.

Shawn takes out the paper which John gives him in the morning. He hands it over to Madame Rey. In the contract, it was that Anna has to become his girlfriend for a year.

Madame Rey looks at Anna and then gives her the contract papers. She had to follow his rules, after signing the contract. He didn't let them say anything as he stood up from his seat and walks towards the door but suddenly stop and turned around as he said, " You have only 24 hours. I want your answer at 9 sharp in the morning. "

He gave his business card to them and left with Shawn. Anna gets shocked after reading the whole contract but the main point is that ' he wants to get her as his mistress for one year. '

On the way to his office, Shawn told him, " She is the girl who I saw in Alex's room. " John gets shocked and he turns his head towards Shawn. He thinks, ' Now you gave me another reason to let you stay beside me. '

Shawn questions him to lessen his curiosity.

" Why do want to negotiate with her? Why do you want that girl as your girlfriend? The thing I remember is Grandma Ria never asks you to have a girlfriend. Then Why? " Shawn stressed on word ' that girl '.

John didn't turn his head towards Shawn as he was looking outside the car, " I have something to clear. If she stays beside me then that's going to be easy. That's why I want her to be my girlfriend. And now we know that Alex is Anna then why not see what she stored for us. " Soon they arrive at the office. The rest of the day goes as usual.

Shawn shakes his head and opens the door of the car. John also did the same as they walk towards the elevator.

When they were in the elevator John ask, " About Alex, what else do you know? " Shawn replied, " I gave you the other detail that I get from this investigation. " John nodded his head.

After a few seconds, he said, " Anna and Alex have one thing in common. We both can't able to find more information about them. If we try then we get hacked. " Shawn was just looking at John, confused as he is getting excited after seeing that girl.

Shawn thinks, " What is going on? Why John is behaving like this? Is he gone insane? " He didn't realize that he said this loud.

John was in a good mood so he replied, " No, I am not insane. I am just excited. " Shawn was looking at him confused.

The elevator doors were opened with a ding and both of them walk out of it. They went to their respective offices and start doing their work. John was so much happy today that even his other employees were getting scared.

They were feeling like someone did something to him or he woke up from the wrong side of his bed.

John was doing his work happily while Shawn was confused. He never saw him behaving like this and now he is also getting scared of him.

On the other side, Anna was mad at John. She gives calm to Mr. Kim and complained.

[ On Phone ]

Anna: - How can that man do this? You said he despises women but here he is giving me the contract, Uncle Kim.

Mr. Kim feels delighted that after so many years she called him Uncle Kim. For some time he thought that maybe she remember everything but soon he realise.

Anna: - Uh... I'm sorry, Sir. I was furious at that b*st*rd. I didn't mean to call you Uncle.

Mr.Kim: - It's alright, Anna. If you want to then you can. Remember it's an exception, it's for you. And now tell me what happens? Why I am feeling like it is related to my... Mr. John?

Anna: - Of course, it is related to Mr. John * In Sarcasm * He gave me a contract. To be his girlfriend. Contract Girlfriend. If I want to save the Orphanage. That man is despicable. I hate him so much.

Mr. Kim: - Can you explain to me what exactly happened?

Lisa heard that it is Anna's call and when she knew that it is related to her son then she signal her husband to put the phone on speaker and ask her what happened.

Anna narrated everything to them, starting from Madame Rey's phone call till the due date to give her answer.

Mr. Kim and Lisa were mad at John for being cocky person. They never knew that he is going to be like this. Anna hung up the phone after saying goodbye to him. Mr. Kim and Lisa were worried about their son.

John and Shawn leave the office at 5 in the evening. They had their dinner with Grandma Ria. She didn't know about John offering a contract to Anna as her son and daughter-in-law decided not to tell her. After dinner, they went to their respective room to sleep.

At night, Anna is in a dilemma about what to do or whatnot. Because in both cases she has to suffer. She has to choose one and has to think about the kids of the Orphanage.
