Seal the deal

She loved the swing in the garden  at first sight.

The interior décor of the cottage was rather quaint, with extensive use of local handicrafts. The broker wondered  if a renowned scientist would appreciate art.

“I need a peaceful place for  my research, and there cannot be a place better than this.  Seal the deal.”

She was found dead by the gardener, with no clues about any  visitor or indication of suicide.

The deal  was sealed when she agreed to conduct research on a deadly virus, with  an inherent risk  of life.

Her survivors  were duly paid  for the assignment.
