I looked at it, read it, and then I kind of chuckled.
The man who handed him the confidentiality agreement asked why he laughed.
I said it wasnt worth the paper it was written on.
If it was supposed to be an agreement, it should be a lot more airtight than that.
Edmond was asked if hed promise not to discuss the wedding.
Yeah, Ill give you my word.
I dont know why, but Ill give you my word.
Edmond didnt recall a lot about her demeanor.
You couldnt see her whole face because her hair was over half her face.
