The clock struck ten when Mark stopped his movement, making a dot on the paper. He stared at William who strangely asked him not to sign the paper. Mark didn't expect William would do that.

Didn't William always talk so passionately about this project? The project he claimed he was an inventor? The project he did from scratch without his parent's help?

"What? Is there a mistake in the documents?" Mark asked, shaking his head awkwardly. "I have checked through the documents by myself and I think we can go with signing."

"There's nothing with the documents, Mark! Just … don't sign it!" William replied bitterly.
