Private Finished I Can Do You One Better

Zora listened to his words, staring at him, her mind processing everything Broen told her. It was a tempting offer - all of it. That is if he could actually follow through with everything he was saying and it wasn't all shallow bravado just to get her attention - which she suspected some of it might be.

"I will be honest with you, Broen..." she said finally, getting up from the sofa and walking behind it,"Your offer intrigues me. Muscle, I already have," she stated, walking over to the pile of black cloaks, picking one up, then dropping it. "Personal security, I do not," she said as she looked at him evenly. She had not needed it - til lately.

"I have my reservations about you," she told him, walking up to him, "However, if I hire you, be aware the job would include following me to business meetings, sitting in on interviews and whatnot. It is not exciting my day to day, and I need someone who can focus through the boredom," she explained gazing at him. She knew full well what she did was boring at times, and somebody like him could be bored out of his mind and that would defeat his offer of being protection.

Zora just smiled enigmatically at Broen's words, question. They held a hint of a challenge. Interesting, she thought, studying his face. She had a vague feeling that he'd be a handful and that she'd probably regret what she was about to do.

"Well, since my life is worth a lot to me," she said with a hint of a smile, "Let's start with... " here she named a very handsome figure. "You are also entitled to lodgings, a company vehicle and other expenses," she informed him.

Zora chuckled in amusement at his reaction. She had the distinct feeling her life was about to get very interesting.

Hearing his request, Zora considered his words for a second, not too surprised at it though, she had had her doubts about him being an outstanding citizen.

"That won't be a problem, you'll be paid out of my personal expenses and not the companies," she said, agreeing that, yes, she didn't need more questions from the police into her business and its movements. Her brother had already done enough damage on that front, she didn't need more with Broen.

"I am assuming you can start soon, then?" she said with a tiny smile.

Mercurial. That was the word that immediately came to mind when Broen suddenly went from agreeable to threatening in an instant. Thankfully, she was used to dealing with men like that and his words didn't bother her.

"As long as you do your job, Broen, you will have no problems from me," she replied easily as she looked at his outstretched hand, and considered ignoring it. But since she wasn't a bitch, at least not without reason to be, Zoraida put out her hand and added, "You can start now by taking that... stuff... and disposing of it," she said referring to the Black Wing paraphernalia on her couch.

"I cannot have anything like that on any of my properties - ever," she informed him coolly. "After that, well, we will talk about your duties..." she said.

"Anything you need to know or want to know before starting?" she asked him, returning to a business-like tone before she let him go.

@Kada

"Thank you," Zoraida said, appreciating the fact that it had been done so quickly and when she asked. It was a good start.

"Oh and for future reference, please use the front door, Broen..." she said, slightly amused. "Popping in unexpectedly on people could make for some rather embarrassing moments," she stated.

Walking over to a table, she fished out a business card - two actually - and a pen. Writing his number on one, she then scribbled a number on the back of the other. "Business, personal.." she said handing him her card.

"I'll text you tonight. I just need to clear a few things first," she said, "You can use the guest house out back if you should so choose, and I will look into the car and your money tomorrow." she informed him. "I guess that's all for now... unless there anything else you require?" she asked evenly.
