"I don't want to talk to you." He said firmly.

He raised his gaze toward me again. "You are desperate."
"I know." I nodded readily. "I absolutely agree. I'm still wondering why you're not desperate. Don't you love Kiara anymore?"
He groaned again, loudly this time. I waited for his anger to sizzle before I continued.
"I'm offering you a partnership of a lifetime. Secrecy, efficiency, and your dream woman. What more do you need to be able to act on this opportunity?"
