In the study, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was solemn. I pushed a bank card over and said with a bit of determination: "I have already met with the Smith's family for dinner as you requested. This card contains the price of the house I live in Germany. Now, can you sell it to me?"

Cheryl Williams sat behind the desk, stretched out her hand and pushed the card back, her face full of coldness: "No hurry, I will give it to you directly after you and Celine Smith officially get the marriage certificate."

"If I remember correctly, you said that if I came back to meet the Smith's family, you would give me the apartment." I argued, unwilling to compromise.
