Selene's body remained tense.
Her muscles still hadn't stopped shaking. Her mind told her she shouldn't trust him, but the fangs of fear were making it hard for her to think normally.
Still, she asked, "How?"
That single word made Godric's eyes light up.
"There it is," he said. "That's the Selene I heard about. Smart, and sharp. I've followed your moves for a long time. You're calculated. You know how things work."
He pointed at her with a casual gesture.
"I don't want much. Just capital and influence of Calloway.
"The Calloway Conglomerate is big, and they control many important resources. You may not hold the chairman title now, but you still have pull. If we help you, the position can be yours. And then you will open doors for me."
Selene listened.
She had no other choice.
Godric continued, "In exchange, you'll be protected by us. I'll make sure that no one can lay a hand on you, or kidnap you. And of course, you'll be working with me, not my boss."
