I pulled out four bills from the stack and threw them toward Yertir.
“Thanks for the payment Consider the 50 dollars a tip. That’s your wouth for our one year of mantlage.”
She was angry that she pined her teeth. Then, she shelcked my name.

Once Randall left, Tette would then realize how much she loved him. Then, she would repeat the past and beg me to get a divorce. When the time came, I wouldn’t be able to let this go ifi didn’t make her pay a lump sum of money.
On the other hand, I was slightly regretting my action was short on cash; I shouldn’t have wasted the 50 dollars on her just for the sake of pride. If it were a hundredcoins, I would literally throw them at her. Now, that would be satisfying

She abruptly stopped in her cracks. When she saw that it was me, the buried look on her face was replaced by suprise, and she smiled.

Scratching her head, Zia said, “Oh no. There’s an issue with the exhibition, and someone got no a cat accident. I’ve got toghandle it now. Ser you later!
Hearing this, I knew something was wrong, but I still said, “Ok then.”
Zia left, and went into the building Recalling the layout from last time, I found where Nancy’s office was.
Before I got close, I could hear any yelling, “Do you know what time it is? Don’t you know how important this expo is today? Hurry up and call those who haven’t arrived!” Her secondary quickly nodded and went to make some calls.

I opened the door and walked in confidently. The executives in the roses all turned to lookat me, wondering who I was.
