Alice didn't know what to answer.

Once Caden was done, he picked Alicia up and carried her to the bathroom to clean up. They hadn't done it all the way, but they were both exhausted, their bodies drenched in sweat.

Alicia soaked in the tub while Caden showered on the other side of the transparent glass screen. The distance between them was small, only the thin partition separated them.

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.”

“I see.” He gave her a simple nod. “Sounds good to me.”

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

“Understood,” Caden said.

Alice continued to draw larger patterns on the glass. As her lines grew larger, her eyes saw something unexpected.
