"No, not that!", he laughs. "That we can do in another time if you want", he winks at you. "I'm talking about you dropping your investigation"
He still smiling, looking gently at you, but a sudden change of mood surrounds you. "... What?"
"Yes. That's what you heard", he looks at you, now serious. "I ain't stupid. I know who you work for. That supposed investigation on CU and Terra Foundation? Drop it. That whore of babylon only wants to damage and destroy as many lives as she can to have her own slice and eat it too. You don't know her as much as I know, but you know pretty damn well what a tabloid does. Nicholas called Anna today about someone probably stalking him and Anna told me about it. 'Philipp Anderson' his name, right? Not only that", he keeps going and he seems to grow into you. He wasn't even moving. He sole force of speech is making him look bigger. "I know he isn't the only one. 'Robert Fischer' and 'Carie Jones' are what your boss call 'remote employees', right?"
"I..."
"I'm not my old boss. He would had exterminated everyone by now. I won't ever be like him and my approach is different", he inhale for a long time, giving you time to rearrange you thougths, but not fast enough. "I wasn't lying about the job offers. They're valid and a total different business. I trust James and I trust you on that matter. You want what? An interview? I can give it to you! I will not let you approach Anna. I hate that woman. Everyone hates her, but she has her qualities. Trust me when I say: She would eat you alive. I'm going to give you a sincere interview. You can come to my place, drink something, eat something, relax a bit, interview me and later we can see if you are good at what James' headband is pointing out here. Let's make an appointment."
You try again to say something, reply anything. Your voice is locked deep inside your throat. You can't distinguish if you are feeling threatned or if you are stifled by Peter's fast talk. He suddenly approaches you swiftly, getting closer to you and almost pressing you on the wall. He takes his phone out his jacket and starts tapping it fast. "I know how much you get paid. I think this buys your silence", he shows you the value he's about to transfer you: 10k dollars. You can't believe. Your eyes are wide open. "Just say the word and deal's sealed"
