"Miss Medina, would you like a nice dinner, my treat?" "Actually I'm not very hungry at the moment."Miss Medina, would you like a nice dinner, my treat?" "Actually I'm not very hungry at the moment. The situation has made me a bit nervous and I've kind of lost my appetite." "I can understand your nervousness. Let me assure you that at any time you wish, you may walk out of here, no questions asked. No one will stop you. Does that help any?" Ally pondered the statement for a moment. "Yes it does help a bit" "But not that much. I understand. Since you are not hungry at the moment perhaps I can offer you a drink? We have an excellent wine cellar. Andre, bring us a bottle of Chablis. You choose..." "No, please. Ahh... alcohol doesn't appeal to me at the moment. Could I just have a glass of ice water. My throat is terribly dry." "Sure, no problem. Andre, bring a pitcher of ice water. We can save the wine for another time," Alexander said. As Andre left the room Alexander introduce the other two people. |
