As Joan read through the contract that is on the paper; in detail to make sure that she didn't miss anything. "So tell me, what I need to do." as she signed her name on the paper; Joan William.
Just as she took her hand back, there is a rune appear on the paper before it vanished. Joan felt something was taken from her but she doesn't know what it was.
Black smile. "Now tell me, what you want?" he ask curious.
"Let me inherent half of m father fortune. Just half." Joan said calmly.
Then she started to tell her story.
Her name is Joan William,her family is famous for the perfume they make. There is crisis recently, she is the named heiress and because she isn't married yet her father decided to change his will. If she isn't married when she reached 30, her sister Joanna William would inherent everything her father left behind.
It seems like her sister husband, which is her brother-in-law are doing very well and due to her laziness the authority that father given to her sister and her husband is higher than her. She only have 3 more month to get married, then her father fortune would be hers.
Due to her high standard of men and also her reputation, there is no men out there that would like to date her or even enter a contract marriage with her. She tried all kind of method known to her but the result isn't as beautiful as she thought it would be.
"Please, help me. I can't afford to live as I am now if I lost the inheritance. The lawyer would take everything that I have right now." says Joan as she try not to let her tears drop.
A black with golden edge card suddenly appear on Black hand.
"As per the rule stated, there would be no cancellation allowed after the customer or buyer confirmed with detail of the transaction. So, would Miss Joan still like to continue our transaction?" asked Black as he smiled.

'Interesting, how interesting. Childhood trauma, seeking acknowledgement of others... Hmmm, interesting.' Black thought as he continue observing Joan while sipping his tea.
"Miss Joan, you could take your time to think. I would always be here when you've make your decision. And when you do, I would tell you the price of your request." said Black as he stands up.
"And welcome to Paradise." Black bowed as he send Joan out of Paradise.
Before she could open her mouth she already been send out from the shop. Stunned.
Never before there is a shop that would chase their customer. As she turn back to take a final look at the shop, she was shocked. Not because of the design or anything, it's because that is the butcher.
How could a weird antique shop suddenly changed to a butchery.
'Think of my name when you want to continue with our conversation, Miss Joan. Have a nice day.' the voice of the shop owner appear in her mind just as she was trying to dismiss what she thought as an illusion or day dream.
As Joan walked back home, back in the store Black was enjoying his time with Joan file where there is all sorts of information from her birth til today.
"White! Could you get me my reading glasses!" asked Black.
"Why would you need a reading glasses when you can see as well as it is?" ask White as he strode into Black's reading room with a glass of wine and a place of soup.
"Aww, image White. Image. I would look more like a scholar if I wore a glasses when I was reading." Black answered.
"What about her?" ask White.
"What about her?" Black asked back.
Trying not to show how annoyed he is with Black, White ask, "Our new customer? Do you think she would sign the pact?"
"Why wouldn't she? You see here, it says that other than working there is nothing she finds fun in. There is no love life and her family is stabbing her back. Well, she's the one making the decision, I'm just 'guiding' her through it." said Black as he grin.
