"Mr. Bordeaux," I hid my shock behind a mask of annoyance, "I was not expecting to see you so soon."
"My apologies Miss Rose I simply wanted to check in on you and see if you have given my offer any more thought."
"I don't need to think about it because my answer is unchanging. Tell Deilos-"
"His majesty."
Much like last time my teeth clicked together in annoyance at his interruption. "Tell him my answer is no, it will always be no, and nothing he does will change it."
"This is most unfortunate," his eyes darted back to Zierra. "I seem to have intruded on you and your company. Business or pleasure?"
I stepped in front of his vision, shielding Zierra from his dead eye gaze, and glared at him. "It's nothing that concerns you Ceil. Please leave my establishment before I have you thrown out."
