She looked at him and raised a delicately sculpted brow.  "I think you will find, I am not so easily dismissed."  She told him taking a seat, but she was not at all relaxed, her body was quite stiff.  "You will find, that there are things I do not handle well, and one of them being disrespect.  My time is just as valuable as yours, and this is behavior I simply will not tolerate in the future."  She said softly.  That was the thing, She never once raised her voice, but she was still able to make herself very clear.  

"I, myself have not yet agreed to this, and it was my understanding from our communications, neither have you."  She said resting her hands on her lap.  Perhaps it is time we get to the bottom line yes?"  She said tilting her head to the side a little.  "You stated that you felt that this arrangement would be beneficial to both of us, what exactly is in this for you?" She wanted to know. 

She watched him as he decided how to answer. She cleared her throat and spoke again.  "Please, do not try to hide anything from me Adrian."  She said "I have until my twenty fifth birthday to make a marriage, or to come to terms with having much less money, but do not forget, the public seems quite interested in me and what I do, so if need be, I can certainly appeal to the court of public opinion about the outdated, archaic, and patriarchal conditions set on my inheritance, and I assure you, I will likely find a way out of my predicament."  She warned carefully.
