Gosh! He let go of this job and started a business with this much money. He could buy a small inn. His eyes sparkled with joy. But could it really be a reality?
"That is.. Such a large amount." he sucked in a deep breath as the thought started to sink in.
"It is.. Indeed. I will also write the letter and sign it to permit the transaction so that no complexity could be faced later." she assured the man and the thrilled staff standing behind. She could feel their happiness, their hopes and the dreams dancing in their eyes. They have already decided how they will spend it.
