After a brief silence, Odell asked, “Is the money too little for you?”

Shermaine hastily explained, "No, I’ve never seen this much money in my entire life! It’s just that I simply don’t need the money.”

Odell frowned.

Cliff was still hovering the check over her eyes.

Shermaine sighed and said, "If you want to show appreciation, why don't you set me up with a job? I… I'm not satisfied with my current job, but I don’t have the connections to find a better job.”

Cliff turned to Odell. “Master Carter?”

Cliff smiled and turned to Shermaine. “You’re an artist, aren’t you? The madam is part of the Westchester Art Academy and is a renowned painter. She has plenty of connections and I’m sure she can find a suitable position for you."

Shermaine smiled. “Drawing is just a passion for me. My profession is in administration. I…I’d like to find a new administrative position with growth potential. I want to stop working for a small company.”

Cliff's eyes glowed up. “That will be easy.”
