"I want to hire you."
This is what Ridha wanted to do, but why? What made her conclude that Alex might accept her request?
The answer to that was simple: Alex had been going around collecting coins these days as if he needed as many coins as he could have. Once he asked for coins in exchange for life, and today he was hoarding coins by playing this game he created.
His actions did not make many things clear, but they did give people the idea of what he was trying to do—he was collecting coins; how obvious was that?
So, if someone gave him more coins than he could get from running around, forcing people to give him coins—which, of course, would backfire one day—would he not accept it?
"Hire for what?"
Alex's reply to her question, on the other hand, was pretty simple. He wanted the information about what Ridha desired from him. What did she want to hire him for?
