"So, what's your decision? Are you going to work with me or not?" Purple probed. 

Livian massaged his temples, still in disbelief that he was sitting right next to Purple and not making a move to kill her, but thinking of collaborating with her instead. "Give me time. I need to think things through." 

Purple stood up. "You can have all the time you want. But keep one thing in mind. You don't have much time before she decides to end you." She tapped on the back of her wrist using her forefinger and gave Livian a meaningful look. 

"I'll give you twenty four hours to decide. If you decide to work with me, then it will be for the best. But if you decide against it, then I will work with people who actually hate Shera Black."

She left, leaving Livian behind, drowning in thoughts. Should he really cooperate with her?
