Chapter 70 Stingy and greedy

John eyes runs over the body of the young woman sitting opposite of him. After his satisfaction of glared on her, he smiled.

"Just tell me what you want. Amount did you need?" Lilah getting sick with behavior asked, irritating.

"Are you sure? You're ready to pay for my welfare?" His eyebrows creased.

Lilah rolls her eyes impatiently, sure what a man John is, so annoying and disgusting. She tried to swallow her anger, smile firmly and answer.

" Yes, what did you think I'm here for? "

John compose himself proudly, sip for the juice can.

" Okay, I need 300 thousand US dollars"

" What the fuck! " Lilah slapped her hands on the table angrily. But when she saw others are looking at her, she tried to composed herself, gritting on her teeth, staring at the idiot in front of her...

John didn't seen bother by her behavior. In fact, he found it pleasant to watch. He just asked for 300 thousand dollars not a human head. Then, why the reaction. He continues to sip on his juice, waiting to hear her response to his request.

" Are you crazy?! Where did you expect me to get that money from? " Lilah gritted her teeth. Sure this man is fucking sick! He needs 300 thousand dollars just to shut his mouth up? She could have been more aware that John is a stingy and greedy man. She should have known more better he was trying to get his entire life salary from her!

With the thoughts of the man being patient burn her anger more! She just can't take it!

John laughed, found what she just said funny. He didn't care how Lilah get the money but that the money he needs, and never changing his mind.

Beside, the girl was the famous manager in Longing hotel and he believes she would have saved up to that money. Even though she didn't have the money, he never cares! She is the reason he lost his job and cause the death of his boss. Now, there are so many responsibility he need to do that needs money. If Lilah would be able to paid the money, there wouldn't be a problem. It for the betterment for both, he get paid and keep Lilah secret for the police or he expose to the police which is which? It all depends on her hands not his ....

"Are you going to paid me or not?"

Lilah felt sick, he didn't even consider how she was going to get that amount of money, only consign about his payment! What a asshole!

"I told you. I don't have that amount of money with me" she tried to lower her voice for the costumers in the cafe not to evadropping on them.

"You say what? I don't get Lilah. 300 thousand dollars isn't a big money. And I believe you can get that money for me, if not your secrets will be know to the police. You would be in jail. And I believe you don't want to go to jail for a murder case. Right?"

He wrapped his hands together on his chest, narrowed his eyes to the girl who looks furiously with him....

Lilah tried to calm down. This is one of the idiot plan, to provoked her but she wouldn't fall into his trap. If the money he wants, is the money he going to get.

"So, what are you saying? I'm getting my money soon or later? " He grabbed on his juice again and sip from it. Staring at the girl.

Lilah tried to compose herself, and reply.

"John, I know you need a money to start a new business and take care of your family but trust me. That money is too enough. I don't even have up to a 100 thousand dollars instead of 300 thousand dollars?"

"Well, you should have thought of it before you play the game that end to Mr Rogers life. You're heartless Lilah. A heartless pretending bitch! If I didn't seen that money before tomorrow end, consider yourself dead and gone! "

Lilah sighed, this would not be easy to deal with. She really didn't have that money. And John did not considered her. Yes, she is the reason her boss is dead, Rosary had to run from her country to another country.. yeah she's guilty of all these but never had she plans any of these to happen. She hold herself responsible for what happens. That's the more reason she was trying to found out who the hell is this Mr. X. She can't allowed the death of Mr Rogers to be invain.. that man deserve justice even though he was kinda of greedy. But still, he had helped her a lot. She can't let his death be a roll over..

"Of course I know what I did wasn't good. But I'm working towards that to correct my mistakes. You're not the only who is jobless and hopeless in the street. Also with me but I don't have a choice. Mr Rogers have been a good boss to me. Never have I wish for any of this to happen in the first place. Believe me, Mr Rogers death would be unjustified. He deserves a justice. The money you're asking for me is too much" Lilah tired to explain herself to him , hoping all these words she said would seat on the man head to consider her situation. She's also jobless like him. He isn't the only one who lost his job. Everyone did, include the girls who sleep with the men. She was trying to look for something to do to support the family of Mr Rogers.

She's guilty and she accepted it....

John laughed mockingly, indeed that the most touch words ever. "But cut it sweetheart, that's no of my business if you find the culprit or not. It all on you. You're the one who let this happen in the place when you bought a girl in to sleep with one of the client. So, cut this shit darling. And tell me when am I receiving the money?"

Is this man deaf or what! Didn't he heard what she just says. She did not have that amount of money! Which language did he understands!

"Don't you get it? I don't....."

"That's no of my business Lilah! You should have known more better before crossing the line. The money or jail which one did you prefer?"

Lilah clenched on her dress. No matter how she tried to explain herself to him, he would never listen to her. What a stingy and greedy man!

"Money" she answered quietly enough for he to hear. He sighed, relax his back on the couch head.

"Now you're talking. That good, don't worry I would let a fly know about your secrets" he smiled wickedly,

Lilah hate this, she wished she could jump on him, pulled his hair, bit on him to satisfied the rage that was burning inside of her but she tried to compose herself.

" When am I receiving the money? You know I have lots of things to do and I need that money as soon as possible"

Lilah heaved a sign, relax herself. " When I have the money, I would let you know"

" When?" John asked impatiently. " I have no time to wait! I have told you I need the money"

"And I said if I'd have the money. I would let you know, I'm not running away" Lilah snapped.

"You better don't play games with me girl. I need that money tomorrow. I don't care how you are going to getting it to me. Just don't play games with me Lilah"

This man is disgusting, if he keeps pushing her, them would create a scenes that would draws the public attention. And she didn't need that since John have the upper hand against her..

" I give you my word, I'll to get you your money if you're patient with me"

John chuckled, " that's good but I need the money tomorrow end. Deal? "

" Deal" Lilah stood up, sitting with this man would only make things worse. " Where did you think you're going? Who going to paid for the juice? "

Lilah bit her lips, she can't believe he had not only demand for money but also want her to paid for his juice! With no hesitation, she ordered the waiter and paid for the juice.

"Paid for more two, this one would be enough" he said lazily. Lilah clenched her teeth, and paid for extra two can and left..

John who have feel succeed with his mission. simply stood up to leave after he was done drinking his victorious drinks. Just on his way out, a tall figure appears in front of him blocking his way. Along the figure stands two muscle men.

John lit his head up, his eyes fall on the man face who was on sunglasses. The figure seem familiar to him, and the way he dress, could say this man is stinking rich. Without wanting to cause trouble, he choose to ignored the man, wants to walk around him.

But...

"Are you not Mr John Anderson?" The man asked before he could make a step. His voice was cold and fill of superiority. He went frozen, who is this man and how did he get to knows his full name

"Yes-yes" he stammer, not knowing what the man wants from him. The strange man smiled mysteriously. With the look on the man face, John known something is up....
