"So… What brought you to my humble office, handsome man?" she kept using the same posture, the same tone, as a perfect actress or something.
"I want something from you…"
"Anything, my dear," her tone went softer, and her mind went wild with imagination at this moment.
"I want something truly precious from you," William didn't know how to say this. He wasn't this close from her to begin with, and he knew how truly valuable these portals were.
Money could buy anything; this was true for common things. But for truly special stuff like portals, money couldn't buy them.
But his hesitation made Lara think a bit wilder, ending up for her to laugh in a lewd way.
