Lionel grinned. "You did say your worst sin was pride. Pride presumes a need for power, Veronica. So is it true?"

Lionel laughed. "I'm sorry. That was much more forward than I expected." He finished his scotch. "But I think I can play..."

"Oh, if you would rather stay and get to know one another a bit better, I am happy to oblige," she smiled, "perhaps we should establish first what exactly we both want. Are you looking for someone to have sex with, or more?"

"Well, I'm not married, and the tabloids find me dreadfully dull, so I don't think you'll need concern yourself terribly with cloak and dagger drama." He lead her to the elevator.
