The meeting with Mikel was a pleasant one except for this: there was something he always wanted, and at this point, with the manner of alliance I wanted to build with him, I wouldn't be able to refuse him anymore.
I could recall times when he would come to Donald's and secretly tell me how unworthy Donald was of me and how I deserved someone who was going to appreciate me for who I was rather than trying to make Donald see me when he just did not like me as much.
In the beginning those words stung and made me offended, but right now I realize that everything he used to say to me back then was a truth because Donald would never see me for who I truly am; who he cared about was Cassandra, and he could do anything for her.
I thought we were going to be meeting at a bar, but he rather made reservations in a hotel room, a suite, which was so large that I wondered why he would book such a place for a meeting that would only last a few minutes.
