Offer (2)
Caleb sat back in his chair, slightly frustrated she thought he would want something out of doing a good deed for her. "Why can't you just accept my offer? I don't know what type of people you came across but I don't want anything out of this. I've even turned it into a job offer."
"What happens when you and I are not on good terms? Will you still want my parents to live in your home? It won't be easy for me to have to make them pack up and leave. Even if it is a job offer, I don't want to be indebted to anyone. I'm going to work hard and own a home by myself. However, I appreciate you trying to help. Please keep this from Alessandra," Sally begged him. "I don't want her to be concerned about it."
"Then the last person you should have told about it was me. Now I can't stop being concerned. Sally, just take the offer. We will have a contract that I won't ever kick them out or fire them when we argue. Trust that I am a good person."
