When she knew the second call was from Alfie, she was shocked. So, Alfie overheard Linda on the phone with her just now? Holding the phone, Catherine hated Linda, "Idiot! Didn't she even know that she should be careful with her surroundings?” What a stupid teammate! Ivan had known it... Catherine was so nervous that she couldn't imagine what would be waiting for her ahead.
When she was in a panic, a middle-aged man appeared at the door.

Facing his sight, Catherine quickly stopped thinking.
Seeing his old-man’s face, she thought of the nightmare night... He was disgusting! But she had to endure it.
“Let's order first.” Leslie sat down opposite her and called the waiter over before he smiled at her, “Ms. Collins, what do you want to have? It's my treat.” He smiled and looked in a good mood.
"Whatever there is here.” Catherine wasn't in a mood to eat with him, which Leslie was clear about. But he didn’t feel any unhappy, his smiled became even brighter and he said to the waiter.
"Just serve us whatever you have here. Anything is delicious when you are with the woman you like. But don't bring us food we can't finish eating.” "Yes, sir." For the first time, the waiter met such a customer.
The waiter left and Leslie set his eyes on Catherine again, "Obviously you didn't sleep well last night, look at the dark circles under your eyes.” He was recalling last night.
Catherine looked expressionless. “What you have done is a crime, | can sue you, you know?” "Oh?" Leslie didn’t seem to be intimidated at all, "Then why didn’t you? Instead, you asked me out for dinner.” "| want to make a deal with you." Catherine went straight to the point. "I can let it go, but stay away from me from now on. | won't get involve with you at anything other than work.” "Don't say that so soon." Leslie poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Tell me about your appeal first.” "There is a woman named Nora. She has been a pain in my ass recently,” Catherine said, saying the most ruthless words, "| want her dead.” Leslie was not surprised, as if he had expected it.
He was still with a smile, as if they were chatting normal topics.
"You want me to kill someone for you?" Leslie reminded her, "Just because | slept with you for one night? | don't see it as a fair trade.” Catherine knew it wasn't a fair trade.

"The maximum sentence of rape is ten years and perhaps | might get as short as three years," Leslie said, without any care.
"And with my connections, to be frank with you, I might even be able to get away.” He was reminding Catherine that he was a man with a lot of crimes.
She had no choice but to compromise.
"I can kill her for you," Leslie said directly, "Only if you promise to be mine.” Catherine was stunned and looked into his eyes with a frown.
“Don't reject me in a hurry, since we are in a negotiation,” Leslie drank his tea and reminded her, “Let's give the both of us some time to think it over.” He needed to think it over? No! Catherine had to get rid of Nora, or she might be in jail for the rest of her life or even get a death sentence.
“I don’t need more time. | promise you,” Catherine blurted out. From this moment on, she had had no control over her life.
