Helen looked to Noah for an explanation for the words which just came out of Eli's mouth but the man looked just as taken back as she was, if not more. At least Eli asking her out to dinner wasn't just shocking to her. What was this man Eli thinking? Did he think he could seduce her into selling the land to him? There was more land around the area being sold, why not just buy those? He might be lying and there just might be gold here. Maybe even diamonds.
"I would rather die than go out to dinner with you," Helen shuddered at the thought of being out with Eli romantically. She would rather spend the day listening to Isabelle talk about her celeb crushes than suffer through a date with him. She wasn't that curious to know why he wanted the land anymore. It belonged to her at the end of the day.
