He just knew it wouldn't be that easy to get what he wanted! "Look, Everett is stressing over this mess! If I can sort it out for him, he's going to valueeven more, you get me? Even in business, you've got to be willing to invest scash!" This office building, it's an investment, plain and simple! If it can snaga big fish like Everett, then it's a bargain, even if it were ten buildings, not just one! "Are you out of your mind? With all the dough Everett's sitting on, you think money troubles keep him up at night?" Ronin was having none of it! He could be vexed over a lady, or sillness, but money? Never! || "Think it over!"

Then I can et about marrying him." "Fine, keep your office building, but don'te crying for help from the Lopez Corporation later! Think it over."
