"Your friend is very kind, " Elise commented after Loriel closed the door behind him and went back to the dining table.
"Well, he is kind to ME," said Loriel with a shrug. "I told you I saved his life once and he has been feeling indebted to me ever since. He owns a small business downtown and is ready to help me anytime. So, you see.. my situation is not so dire that I need to sell my loyalty points."
He chuckled when he remembered Elise's suggestion to make extra money by selling his points. First, of all, there were no such points. He made up everything.
Second, even if he badly needed money, he would never resort to such actions. He could just sell the artworks or whatever stuff he had in this penthouse. He was lying when he said they were too valuable to him that he would never sell them.
