"Hmph." Sage had signed for the millionth time reading the never ending NDA that practically silenced everything everyone worked hard for.

    Ben was a great attorney she admitted to herself, since each paragraph was headache in itself to read.

  But she managed, it quoted everything verbatim that Mr. Rockington wanted and stated that he need.

   "Airtight my ass.." as she read the reference page of  businesses and carters to help with planning the banquet. All businesses and carters that Mr. Rockington has worked with prior in his life.

   "This is so ridiculous." She grumbled feeling misery took over the excitement of the signing.

       " It is." A voice boom startling her bad.

    She swiveled her chair around seeing Justice was standing at the door of her office looking annoyed.

  She cringed and jumped up a bit glancing at the computer clock seeing that she had actually took 2hours and half to read it over.

   Shooting up from her desk, "Sorry I didn't realize how long I took." She stood handing him the now decoded NDA .

     He took it gladly, pretending to read it over but actually read her notes on the side and so badly wanted to laugh when he read this mfucker tripping.

           "What's the verdict." He said as if they were in court.

"It's legit, they want to conceal any slip up's until the week of the banquet. They need everyone's support and help, but they are limiting us for only using the people who were and have been in these meetings. Plus the addition of carters and planners they worked with prior. However, they mainly want everyone in the room hands in it."

Justice sighed walking farther in the office and sat at the couch. "This is ridiculous. This old man has dragged this out for a year and it's like one step forward and ten back."

  She watched as a he muscle tensed and how his eyebrows furrowed visibly upset, she wished she could be the reason he would feel better. But that was no longer her role.

"Well he's signed. There's no breaking that. It's all of this we have to jump through before we go public and that's just 4 months away."she spoke trying to reassure him.

"What do you think? Should we sign?" He asked really valuing the answer she may say.

She ran her hand through her hair stressed, knowing the answer whether yes or no wouldn't be any less stressful to them both.

If they say yes, they endure 4 long months of pulling together a party that needs to be so intricate without the help of those who they trust to really do it.

         Then if the say no, they risk Mr. Rockington breaking his contract.

"I say we do it. 4 months of pain in the ass versus many years of success. I think he knew he hit us with a curve ball, but I really think the best option is we all sign and get to planning. "
