Finally, he sighed and gave a slow nod.
"Fine," he said through clenched teeth. "Ten thousand kilograms of rice and five fish per square kilometer. We have a deal."
Ivy's smile returned, calm and confident. "Wise choice, Mayor Daniel. Let's write it down."
"No, wait." Daniel stopped, "I still need to get agreement from my wife. I will revert to you in 3 days."
Ivy raised an eyebrow; she knew Daniel was lying, however, she didn't expose him on the spot, instead she stood up with a smile, nodding. "Alright then. I will wait for your reply. My number is…"
After Daniel noted down the number, he heard Ivy's voice again, "I will wait for 4 days. If I still don't receive any reply, I will take your response as a no."
Daniel's expression was grim as he saw off Ivy. Once he closed the door, he ensured that there was no one around. Taking a deep breath, he said in his authoritative voice,
"You all can come out now."
