Chapter 58

“He’s not giving you now but he’ll give it later. And you will know the deals when he gets you to talk about the terms and let you see Elijah.” Gideon said.

Elysia was left utterly baffled. And then her confusion only deepened. For Gideon had suddenly produced a wad of cash and placed it before her.

“Consider this a little token for our first meeting.” He said.

Elysia gaped, “What on earth are you getting at? I have no idea what you’re up to.”

Gideon continued as though he hadn’t heard her, “Let’s keep our little encounter between us for now. I’ll be in touch.”

With that, he stood up and left.
