Chapter 255 Joe's Final Offer

• A long moment passed before a voice came from inside. “Come in.”
• I pushed open the door and sat down on the sofa without waiting to be invited. A decanter of red wine sat on the table. I chose a clean glass, poured myself half a glass, and took a small sip.
• The wine was dry and slightly sharp at first, but it left a lingering sweetness on my tongue. When I looked up, Joe was staring at me in obvious surprise.
