Jolene turned her face away unnaturally.
She had no pocket in her clothes, where else could she hide that little gem? Under desperate circumstances, she had been forced to tuck it into her camisole...
Seeing that the man had no intention to leave, Jolene was irritated and repeated once again, "Mr. Aiken, could you please give me some privacy?"
"What if you run away?"
