Double cross

"So, what's your decision?" Seraphina crossed her legs as she had an icy look on her eyes. Mariel who was sitting opposite her gulped as he felt a cold shudder run down on his spine. He put down his cup of coffee with his trembling hand before this domineering woman he had encountered in his life. 

What did he do early in the morning to deserve this kind of frightening situation? He was just about to make his 'rounds' to his patient and here he is, facing Seraphina with that same question seven days ago. 

He hasn't decided yet and his doomsday had already come! Granting that he had already stayed there for a week, alas, Mariel never got a proper answer from her colleagues. All they told him that aside from being shackled for life in Seraphina's chains, he won't lose anything.
