Caden turned off the faucet and began applying soap to his skin.

Alicia leaned her head on the edge of the tub and spoke clearly. “Actually, the reason I came today was to talk about our collaboration.”

Caden replied, “I know.”

Alice looked at him, speaking seriously. “We have to sign a contract.”

Caden listened intently, maintaining his usual composure. “What do you want to include?” I have asked.

Alice tapped the glass with her fingers, tracing random shapes as she spoke. “To collaborate, we must have common goals. If one of us needs support, the other must provide it without hesitation, provided it is reasonable. There must be no tricks or deception, and we must avoid any possibility of blackmail.”

Caden paused briefly and asked, “What kind of needs are you talking about?”

Alicia answered directly: “Managing Joshua, of course.”

Alicia continued: “The whole agreement must be confidential. No one else must find out.”

“Understood,” Caden said.
