Madison raised her brows once again, this time she couldn't believe what she was hearing. With another forced smile, she wondered why Mr. Stryker took it upon himself to enlighten her of the situation she knew nothing about.

"Tea?" She stood up and walked over to where a small tea kettle laid with a few clean cups distributed around the porcelain antique that was given to her by her mother for a 'Job Well Done' so to speak. She poured herself a cup then halfway turned towards Mr. Stryker with a smile.

"Do pardon me, Mr. Stryker but, where do I come into play, so to speak?" Was she to keep the secret that everyone knew to be a rumor just that, a rumor? And why did he come in to tell her at such a time? Questions were being raised but she didn't dare ask...just yet.
