-Eleonora-

After my rigorous speech to Thomas we went to our bedroom and Blaze asked me to dress a comfortable outfit and a swimming suit. He claimed that we were going to relax after this stressful evening.

"So your idea of relaxing is a cold pool?" I questioned while we entered the pool area

"Actually" he said while we passed the pool "I was thinking of a hot jacuzzi!" he said while opening a door. I followed him, he guided us to a wooden balcony outside there was a jacuzzi with hot vapor coming out of it.

"How do you even have access to this?" I questioned looking around

"I know the manager..."

"Sure you do" I said while looking at the snow mountains "You know everyone"

"Almost everyone" he responded, when I looked back he was already in the jacuzzi with his eyes closed laying back on the jacuzzi wall. I took my chair and took off my clothes quickly entering the hot water with my black swimsuit and sat in front of him.

"This is weird  " I commented looking at him, he slowly opened his eyes meeting mine

"What is?"

"You... You're relaxing... shouldn't you be working?" I said with a small smile and a raised eyebrow

"It seems like I am listening to Dorothy's advice"

"Please tell her that, she will be so happy"

"I will try to remember"

"You know...she gets really concerned for you and your work" I notified him, his expression softened probably thinking about Dorothy

"I know. She is a good woman"

"Yeah and she worries about you like crazy. You should try to arrive on time for dinner some days" I proposed making him lift an eyebrow

"Because of Dorothy's worries or because you don't like to eat dinner by yourself?" he questioned with a smirk growing on his lips

His question made me furrow my eyebrows and bite my inner lip unconsciously "For Dorothy" I responded easily

"Ok"  he said with a smile " I will try to be on time for dinner some days"

"Great "

"Great" he responded back

"I never though you'd be so easy to negotiate"

"I am usually not"

"I know... so when are you particularly easy to negotiate?"

"On some occasions, specially those who have my interest" he said making me raise an eyebrow

"Have you ever had a harsh negotiation or where your deals always so easy?" I questioned curious

"I met my hardest negotiator this year" He said

"Really?" I asked making him nod

"For a man of business like me, who was been through a lot and never fails at what he does. I've been having pretty difficulties with this one negotiator" he said in an amused tone, he had never told me he had such a difficult negotiator. Actually, all I heard about him was how good he was making deals, he was smart enough to make the other part sign and happy, and yet he would take more profit out of it... like our marriage that my father stupidly agreed on and I had to correct some clauses. Then there's Mr. Brocotta who was a arduous and tiring negotiation, besides him, I don't know anyone who had a guaranty with Blaze and not agreed with his terms "This negotiator never takes no for an answer, and wants his own terms and conditions, knows how to push my buttons and drive me mad." I furrowed my eyebrows at his explanations while my head tilted trying to think of someone like that
