Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Throughout that week, it rained nonstop in Birmingham. The city had become even colder due to the late autumn rain.

Bill sat in a run-down little restaurant, dressed in a black leather jacket. He had a bowl of noodles on the greasy table, and the heat and aroma filled the small room.

The woman sitting opposite him was wearing a black baseball cap, which made her out of place. Her attitude was condescending, as if she didn’t want to be there. She sat up straight, trying not to touch anything in the room.

The sound of rain on the tin roof of the house distracted her. “I didn’t come here to watch you eat noodles,” the woman said as she removed her black mask.

Bill took two sips of soup before pulling a flash drive from his pocket and placing it in front of her. As he watched the woman become nervous, he said, “You are still wanted in Ireland. So hiding in Birmingham is not safe, either.”

“What do you mean?”

Bill wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, “Nothing. Turning you in is no good to me because | need your money. | promise to keep everything a secret as long as you keep your word ”

The woman wrapped her arms around her chest, and her face was contemptuous. “Are you threatening me?” she snorted.

“No, I’ve never liked threatening others. So, I’ll do whatever | promise you. And you must promise to pay for the entire operation after it is done.” 475 The Crazy Woman Bill’s face was expressionless as he said this, “And, | want an extra $50,000 for her.”

The woman laughed, leaning in and approaching him slowly. He was close enough to notice that the foundation on her face couldn’t conceal the scars on her face.

She stopped smiling and had a terrifying expression like a spooky ghost. With murderous attempt in her eyes, she asked, “What if| change my mind? De you think you can intimidate me with that?”

Seemingly, Bill had predicted her response. He pushed the bowl in front of him aside and locked his gaze on her. Then he put on an expression as fierce as hers.
