Interesting Cooperation

"It's better that you don't need to talk much, we need each other. I can actually ask someone else for help if you're not willing, this is an attractive offer. I can't force you to cooperate with me," said James. He was getting ready to leave the dining table.

 Again it wasn't James who was cornered, it was someone else. Now it didn't take long for Sophia to make up her mind.

 "Yeah, wasn't it clear from the start what my decision was? You're such an idiot, asking rhetorical things," said Sophia. Sophia looked very annoyed when James cornered her again, but for the umpteenth time, Sophia tried to cover up her embarrassment.

 "Tsk, you're always like that. Alright, we can start our new project in the near future," said Sophia.

 James smiled with his typical smile, he was always easy to manipulate the situation.
