[There's a startled pause before Lane responds. "Well...of course the nature of our work is quite sensitive," he says. "Surely you must have picked up on that working with Ms. Summers."
"Y-yes, I know. Just...I have a couple of questions, that's all."
"If that's the case, you can certainly ask. But without having signed this nondisclosure, I can't guarantee that I can answer."
"I understand."
Castillo's questions actually start out quite pedantic, nitpicking the legalese of the agreement. It seems like she is legitimately trying to understand the terms she's getting herself into, from start to finish. Towards the end, however, she asks a somewhat telling question.
"Okay, um...I'm not seeing here what the specific terms are for breaking this nondisclosure," Castillo says.
Lane's chuckle is strained. Throughout Castillo's questioning, he's sounded like he was losing a little bit of patience with her. "I can't imagine it matters as long as you're not planning on doing anything of that sort," he replies, a little sharply.
"Legal action," Summers cuts in. She, too, seems to be slightly exasperated. "We'll be able to pursue financial damages for breach of contract."
"Has anyone ever broken one before?"
"Would you want to go up against Aphrodite Apparel?"
"Well, no, but..."
An exhale. "Miss Castillo. I appreciate your concern for the details, but we do need to move on to more important issues."
Pao-Lin, too, just wishes this girl would sign the thing already. She doesn't want to stay in this stupid vase for any longer than she has to.]
I didn't have anyone figured out either so that's just peachy
