Jason stopped in his steps and slowly turned to look back at Ryan and Delyth. His gaze no longer carried the gentleness, it held all this while. Instead, he seemed all aloof. "I have rejected your request very politely, Mr. Foster, but it seems like you neither value good people nor good thoughts. Fine, " he nodded, continuing, "Then I won't care to be polite anymore." 

Ryan frowned, noting his choice of words. But before he could say anything, Jason's voice rang loud and clear in the air. "I won't treat her no matter what you offer. No money, no praise, no nothing will be able to make me change my resolve. Am I very clear now, Mr. Foster? I hope I am."
