Scarlett flinched when Lorenzo took hold of her hand, though she didn't move it out of his grasp. She felt all out of place, dazed and confused. It was a lot to take in, a lot to process. Though, she knew she didn't have any choice. She could either take this job that paid her well, or go look for another one that would pay her next to nothing.<br/><br/>Sure, Lorenzo was clearly a bad man, but he seemed to take care of his own. If his mother was important to him then no doubt he wouldn't do anything to harm Scarlett - or else he'd have to find someone else. So, she'd be safe, she decided. Plus, that kind of money would help get her to where she needed to be. It was decided then. She'd take the job.<br/><br/>"Okay." The woman finally replied, quietly. A slight reluctance still clear in her voice. "I'll take your offer." She looked down at their hands, furrowing her brows for a moment. She could work for him, if he ever got caught for whatever he did, she could simply feign ignorance. She'd need to keep her distance though, if she was to stay out of trouble.<br/><br/>"So, when do I start?" She asked, quickly slipping her hand out of his grip and standing up. She felt her cheeks flush red, and though she hoped he wouldn't notice, she knew he would.
