"And I hope Mr Cross appreciates it too". She took her into a large exquisite office with large windows that had a nice view of Manhattan skyline, skyscrapers and magnificent buildings. At one one end of the office, stood the mahogany desk which away from the view. Andrew stood facing his back with arms crossed. He didn't turn to face them yet. "Sit down", he said, voice firm. Emily gestured for Elena to sit, then left quietly, leaving Elena with the metaphoric beast, Andrew Cross. Elena sat across from him with her hands on her blue folder that laid on her laps.

I read it on the web", she replied. "And I also read that you don't take"no" for an answer. Maybe that explains it". Andrew raised his brow. "Are you implying that you would?" "I'm implying that I wouldn't be afraid to" "Interesting. You're bold", he said leaning his back on his chair with folded arms. "Not bold sir. Confident". "Others would call it recklessness". "Well, others mistake bravery for foolishness. I don't do
