TL froze when Madame Zoya went direct to the point. For a moment, he closed his eyes. He was not sure whether to disclose or not any detail for a stranger, specially for someone said to have powers.<br/><br/>"I am not sure whether I should induce your readings, Madame Zoya. Maybe I have questions as you start to bring your points. Sorry, I do not meant to be rude and I highly appreciate your question.", TL said a bit hesitantly.<br/><br/>"But before you continue, there is something I need to give to you...", TL paused and turned to the right to take the briefcase he had left behind his chair. He  placed it on his lap, opened it and held a richly wrapped brownish box with  bonds and a sticker where one could read Godiva (http://static.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/2008/05/godivachoc.jpg). Madame Zoya's client raised his eyes to meet hers again, stood up and handed the gift to Madame Zoya.<br/><br/>"Please accept this as a token of consideration, Madame Zoya."
