An Offer To Think About

Already, Elise was curious as to what he would say. There wasn't much he could offer her that she would want.

But he seemed so convinced that he would captivate her that, if nothing, his confidence at least made it interesting.

"I'm listening."

Alex smiled, and he leaned on the table.

"I know what you're thinking. 'What he got to offer me? Money? Fame? I don't want those.' Well, I could offer those. I have a way to make both a reality, after all. But that isn't what a person like you would be captivated by."

He looked deep into her eyes, and made only his eyes change to black and red, with a devilish grin.

"What if I offered you peace of mind? What if I offered everyone in the neighbourhood peace of mind? In an irrevocable way."

Elise frowned at his words.

"Stop trying to be mysterious and come out with it," she spat.
