“I’ve heard stories about you.” Alfie grinned, taking a seat at his desk, “you’re the Shelby witch eh? one walk down a street right, and every man who sees ya falls wildly in love.”
you shrugged, “well if you’ve already heard of me, then I guess I don’t have to warn you, not that my warnings do any good.”
“you? warn me? not to fall in love with ya?!” Alfie laughed, “sounds like a challenge eh?”
“I hope you win Mr. Solomons, you would be the first who does.”
he sat back in his chair, taking a long look at you, “so you want what Thomas asked for last I saw him?”
“yes, that’s what I’m here for. you either give it to me now and let me leave, maybe you’ll make it out of this without feelings, but if you want to negotiate, I’ll be sticking around a while, worse for you.” you crossed your arms, “so what will it be?”
Alfie rubbed at his bearded chin, looking you up and down, “ I say negotiate, whats the worst that could happen eh?”
you walked to the door, turning to look at him once, “the worst thing, Alfie, is you’ll fall in love with me and end up giving me everything I want anyways, don’t say i didn’t warn you.”
