Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

I narrowed my eyes at John while trying to keep my voice steady and not reveal my irritation.

"If your goal is to get your hands on our exclusive formulas, you should know that those are our lifeline, and we will not share them willingly. Notte Pharmaceuticals has a long history, good reputation, and loyal customers. What benefits are there for us if we work with you?"

If he noticed my hostility, he hid that well.

"Some benefits show themselves after a long time and some extend beyond business. Don't be hasty in rejecting my offer, Serina."

"Your offer? Why does it sound like you are doing me a favor?" 

"Working with me can bring you only benefits.", John emphasized the last word.

"And if I refuse?"

We stopped moving on the dancefloor and a frown settled on his face as he observed me keenly.

I returned his gaze with confidence.
