Chapter 31: Just Observants
I was surprised, "Hold up, royalties? We never talked about that. It was supposed to be a one-time payment."
Railey's tone shifted. "Max, come on. We said we were in this together. I'm putting in the work, and it's only fair that if this blows up, we both ride the wave, you know? Plus, it's good for the long haul."
I retorted, "I don't agree with this. It wasn't part of the deal."
But Railey stuck to her guns. "Look, Max, I'm not doing this otherwise. We're partners, right?"
"Partners my ass... This wasn't the deal, Railey. If you're pulling this... then FUCK YOU.", I said calmly, at least I think so, and pushed the red button on my phone.
No way in hell I'm signing up for that. I could find someone way more talented to spice up my app design, even if it costs me a bit more.

GAI Weather sat on over 2,000 plan purchases and a whopping 180,000 app downloads. That brought in almost $20,000 a month. With the Adomi deal in the mix, I was looking at becoming a millionaire in less than a year. Life looked really sweet, but...
If I wanted to fund my research on monopoles and quantum manipulation, we're talking billions just to get the party started.
