Transaction

A torn-off bit of envelope, with an amount scribbled on it. Startled expression, not at the proposition, but at the amount. Too much. But then papers can't get through. Slightly less please. Can't afford that much. No negotiations. Want to get work done? Even after missing photo, late submission? Jab at bit of envelope with pen. Don't have that much sir (lie)! Otherwise it was ok. Not done, sonny! Fixed price. So many loopholes. Flip through papers. Another mistake found. No discount. Lower amount suggested. Ha ha! Original amount is final amount. Nothing less. Will have to bring from outside please! Do it then!! Sir, do something. What? Senior sir calling for signing. Sir, sir, please. No no, not today. Senior sir calling. Can't wait now. Too late for today. Come on Monday. With completed form and photo. And remember the amount. Ok sir, but take that much today only. Will bring it from outside right now. Too late, boy. Shouldn't have wasted time bargaining...

Brought it? Do one thing. Take these papers outside, put it in between and return. Go. AbNQ
