---- 9_Examine the goods. Faith | hold my breath, eager to hear what Alpha Dorian has to say. Instead, | hear more of my father. "What seems to be the issue?" He raises his voice, and his questions are followed by the sound of something hitting the floor. Either he accidentally pushed something off his desk, or Alpha Dorian did that on purpose to grab my father's attention and prove a point. I've always hated how high-ranked men often worked out their differences using aggression and fists, but now that I'm the reason why these two chickenshits argue, | feel even more repulsed of their behaviour. "This isn't some online purchase!" Alpha Dorian roars at the top of his lungs. "I came here to ---- inspect the goods before agreeing to your terms. If she's not up to my liking, | won't agree to move on with the deal. Business is business; if | disapprove of the quality of the merchandise, | won't purchase it." Although this isn't the first time | hear such things said about me, it still stings. Standing by and listening to two people discuss someone as if they were nothing more than a product to be sold is sickening. If they come to an agreement, is this how that man might treat me? Like some leftover trinket he bought in an auction because the good stuff was sold off, and he needed proof to show others he was a part of the event? | hope not. | hope the Moon Goddess is watching me now and does something to stop the madness. "Alpha Dorian, | can assure you that my daughter is a perfect match for you. She is beautiful and well-mannered. She will make the perfect wife." Father argues, describing me as if ---- I'm the daughter he actually wanted. | wonder if he would keep up with this attitude if | were a son... And honestly, | truly wish he believed in his words, but once Alpha Dorian leaves, father will pretend he never said such a thing. God forbid | slip and remind him of the same words - the maniac will punish me for telling lies. "That's for me to decide. What appears beautiful to you may be ugly to me; that is a matter of taste and preference." Is it only me, or it really sounds like this man is bargaining my price right now? Shit, I'm angry for being sold off, but his attitude is offensive. I'm not the most beautiful girl out there, but | believe I'm decent enough to be called pretty. Besides, what matters is the person, not the looks. "Faith is a rare beauty. Deep green eyes, fiery red hair, slender body and an aura of a Goddess." Yeah, now he's exaggerating.
