As they all started pouring over the document Kurt looked across the table, then down on the contract. as he strokes his moustache his pen slowly trailing across the text. He pauses on the compensation line, sweat start building on his forehead. His inner capitalist is annoyed by the amount.

As his lawyer leans in, and whispers something unintelligible. Kurt moves on. After a little over one hour with some back and forth whispering with his lawyer, he puts pen to paper and signs. The deal is done
