"Are you desperate to know about it?" William glanced at Richard with a faint smile on his face. Richard nodded and waited for him to spill the beans. However, William had leaned back instead and queried, "Why should I tell you?"
"Does this mean that you have no idea about it?" Richard tried to provoke him by saying, "Let's end this topic if you are unaware of this matter. We shall assume that I did not ask you about it."
"Who says that I was not kept in the loop? I am well aware of it but I am currently not in the mood to fill you in."
Richard was interested upon hearing about it and replied, "You are just talking big, arent you? I will allow you to slap me in the face should you really know about it."
"I'm not interested in going rough on you and I would prefer you to offer something valuable to me instead. I am a boring person as I am only interested in material possessions."
