She clearly thought before she spoke, which was a rarity in<em>any</em>place. Leaning against his desk, he nodded thoughtfully as she suggested the gambling. "You're probably right about the bake sale, and asking a car wash event to cover a quarter-million dollars is a ridiculous idea," he admitted. "I admit that I was, shall we say, a little off my game just then." He cocked his head, considering her suggestion. "A Casino Royale night? That could move some money," he acknowledged. "And it's something that appeals to one's ego - everyone wants to beat the house."<br/><br/>He took a long sip from the wine, looking over Luci again with a new light. "I'd offer to hire you as my secretary, if I didn't think it would be an insult - and probably a step down in pay for whatever it is you do, am I right?" He winked in a friendly, conspiratorial way. "Although perhaps you'd be willing to work as a consultant."
