To the bank

At the bank you are directed to an empty office, where you wait to been seen. Your business plan is taken by an aid and reviewed by the investment team before you are invited in for their conclusion.

"Good afternoon, Sir. I'm Haley White" you hear as the banker enters her office. "But I'm afraid with your credit history and, to be frank, vagueness of you business plan I cannot risk the bank's money on you. I hope you understand."

Disippointing, but you've been here before, you know how to handle this.

"Of course I understand. However, as a woman in your position, I assume you can also understand the nature of business and the level of secrecy I must maintain until the appropriate time. I am not willing to disclose anything more than I already have. However, I would be willing to show you personally why your investment in me would be safe. My office is close by."

"This is highly unusual, but understandable. OK, let's go."
