"I'm sorry?"
"I asked, Miss Thomas, if you would like to earn a million dollars."
Ella took a deep breath as her natural suspicion kicked in. (from The Demi-Monde: Winter by Rod Rees.)

I chose to add the two sentences after the third as "I'm sorry?"  wasn't much to go on.  I can't offer any insights as to what is going on as I just started this book today!  I am wondering what she would have to do though!
