Talking terms

Joe and you head into the study where he gives you a 10-minute pitch about the hedge fund and why it would be a good investment for you. Based on what Abby told you, most of what he's saying is either exaggerated or lies, and you're feeling more contempt for him by the minute.

At the end of his presentation, Joe stops and asks you for your thoughts.

"Let's cut straight to the chase. I know you desperately need cash or the fund is done, you're out of a job, and all of this," you motion around at the house, "is going to be gone. Am I right?"

Joe's eyes widens as he realizes that you've done your homework. He nods.

"Now, I could acquire your fund, no problem. It's a drop in a bucket for me. But, I have one condition."

"Name it," Joe says.

"I want to fuck your wife," you say with a grin.

It takes Joe a few seconds to get over his disbelief. "What?!"

"You heard me right the first time. I want to fuck your wife. If you want to seal this deal, I want to fuck her before I walk out of this house."

"You've got to be kidding. You have some nerve coming into my house and-"

"Seriously Joe. You know better than me what financial situation you're in. Go ahead, tell me if you have any other options," you cut him off.

Joe looks dumbfounded because he knows you're right. You let the stark realization sink in for a bit before you speak again. "It's time you go have a discussion with your wife, Joe," you say.

Crestfallen, Joe gulps and leaves the study in defeat. You sit and wait, and it's not long before you can hear his and Laura's raised voices coming from the kitchen. After about 15 minutes of arguing, it suddenly stops and Joe returns to the study.
