As soon I got to the office, I checked my emails again, but there was still nothing from Sight Unseen. G had promised to request our fifth date as soon as she left, and now I was hoping that she hadn’t gotten cold feet.

Either way, she’d promised to do it, and now I had to give her time to decide. Part of me wanted to email them myself, but all of the date requests so far had come from my side, and the fifth date was the big one. The important one.

The company required that the request for it came from the party who had requested fewer dates during the course of the process. The party who had requested the majority of the dates—me, in our case—could put in a request, but it would only be confirmed if the other party requested the date as well.

Which meant that I could both accept and request this date, but ultimately, G had to put in a request of her own. Not knowing whether she was delaying or if the delay was coming from the company was driving me up the wall.

My only saving grace was in the knowledge that Sight Unseen didn’t rush anything. Throughout this process, they’d taken everything at a leisurely pace. It seemed they believed that absence made the heart grow fonder, and at the same time, I’d read somewhere on their website that they weren’t a speed-dating agency.

All in good time, one of the catchphrases had read. Meanwhile, I wasn’t used to waiting. I was very much accustomed to instant gratification and I liked it that way. Patience was not a virtue in my book and I didn’t have much of it anyway.

“Sir,” Gary’s voice interrupted my thoughts, and when I looked up at him standing in my doorway, he gave me an apologetic smile. “That man who never wants to give me his name is here to see you.”

Inwardly, I groaned. I’d sent through the signed offer to Adam and to the lawyers. The deal was basically done, and yet here he was, without an appointment and being a dick to my assistant. I knew I was a dick to my assistant sometimes, but he was my assistant to be one to.

Adam was starting to take this too far, but I still pasted a grin on my face after telling Gary to let him in. “What can I do for you today, Adam? The lawyers are drawing up the paperwork as we speak and the deal should be done by next week.”

He came over and shook my hand, but he did not look like a man who’d just gotten what he wanted. “That’s what concerns me. That woman hasn’t signed the actual agreement of sale yet. Why is it taking them so long to draft it? They should’ve had it ready for her at the same time as the offer.”

“That’s not how it works,” I explained, sitting back down and waving him into the seat across from me.
