Hershey’s Choice

"You want me to work for you?" Hershey stared at Khalon in surprise.

Khalon nodded his head. "You don't need to give me an answer now. I'll give you a day to think it over. Once you have decided, you must tell right away."

"I understand." She nodded her head absentmindedly.

"You may leave." Khalon dismissed her since he still had to talk with Gregorio about more important matters.
