<div style="text-align: justify;">Lorenzo watched the man carefully as he rubbed his throat. The man's words about closing the room up made him nod. "Wise choice", he simply said, not displaying any emotion. "I will be out of here before you know it", he told the man. His eyes narrowed when the manager told Scarlett she was still fired, but he didn't protest. It did work to his advantage, after all. Still, he wished it didn't have to happen this way.<br/><br/>As the man left and closed the door, Lorenzo stood silent for a moment, his mind working. He had gotten what he wanted. Scarlett had been let go of her job, and he could now offer her another one. Still, he was angry at her jerk of a manager. He could and should have done it in a more decent and polite way. Still, though, he had reached the results he wanted without actually having to interfere with her job. And she would now have a better paying and less humiliating one. So, it was all good. Or it would be in a while. He felt Scarlett would need some time to rest and come to terms with losing her job, after all.<br/><br/>After a long moment of silence, Lorenzo stepped closer to Scarlett. His presence was no longer aggressive, and he had calmed down now that the manager was out of his sight.<br/><br/>Hesitating a little, he placed a hand very carefully over her shoulder.<br/><br/>"Scarlett", he started, his voice quiet. "Don't worry. You will not be out of a job", he carried on. "My offer is still up. You don't have to have anything to do with my business. You can simply keep my mother company and run errands for the household, and you will be paid for that. If you want to, just let me know".<br/><br/>He sighed then. As much as he wanted to tell Scarlett to simply follow him now, he knew it wasn't the right way to go. Pulling his business card out of his pocket, he slid it into Scarlett's hand carefully, hoping she would hold on to it.<br/><br/>"Call me if you need anything", the man murmured, before moving her aside carefully just enough for him to be able to leave the room.</div>
