Conversations with Ivory

'What do I do? Suppose I do business with him, and he will not be the sect master in the future. In that case, I won't gain anything!' She pondered as everyone at her dining table tasted the dishes she had ordered.

'But if he changes his mind in favor of the sect and I have refused to do business with him now, I will lose the opportunity. Then, he will not let me sit at the same table as him in the future...' She clenched her fists as she hid them under the table to avoid appearing nervous to her guests.

'Sigh... I have no alternatives here. By helping him now, I at least won't lose anything and will gain the possibility to get closer to him in case he decides to run for the position of sect leader!' She made up her mind after a while.

"All right, I can help you regarding those deals just for the promise that if you decide to become the sect master, you will follow through with that initial demand of mine." She said after much thought.
