"The girl who stole…" I blinked twice as I realized it, "You're the one Crystal saw with Adam."
"Yeah. Can you believe it? Adam gave me a million dollars just so that I would leave him alone," she sighed.
"A million…wait…did you take it?" I asked.
"Why would I take it?" She frowned in response, "Two things: one, I'm not a whore; two, I can't be paid to stop loving him."
Yeah, but it's one million dollars we're talking about here.
"Don't tell me that you would leave the girl you love for the sake of a million dollars?" She raised a judging brow.
Did I love Crystal enough to turn down an offer of a million dollars?
I mean…think about all the things I could get.
I could even set up a little medical center and still have some money left over.
"I'll take your silence as a yes," she said as she looked at me with eyes of disgust.
"No, I wouldn’t," I frowned.
"Anyway, we both want our loved ones to come back to us, as they should," she said, "And I know just how to do it. Plus, you can help too, considering I can't get into the building anymore and Adam has blocked me from contacting him."
"What do you have in mind?" I asked.
She emptied her glass and dropped it along with her drink money, "Follow me."
I paid for my drink as well then followed her.
"Did you come with a vehicle or something?" She asked.
I revealed my keys and unlocked the car.
As we entered, she pulled out her phone and showed me some interesting clips of Adam and herself. Mostly Adam being nude though.
"This is…" I started to say.
"Blackmail material will have a bigger effect on him," she said, "You know there are rumors about his womanizing, but he's actually very careful. No one else has ever been able to provide concrete evidence. The sweet thing about this is that I used to be his patient."
"You're…insane," I said.
She shrugged, "But I was his favorite. So, are you in?"
It seemed underhanded. Did I really need to resort to this?
"Why are you hesitating?" She asked.
"Because…that’s going a little too far," I replied.
"Going too far?" She scoffed, "I have a feeling you're someone already used to having the people he loves get taken from him while he watches, twiddling his thumbs like a coward."
I frowned.
"If it makes you feel any better, you don't have to actually leak the images," she said, "Just threaten him a little. I need him to completely cut all ties with this girl. If he just tells her he hates her or he has her sacked, then it's simple."
"She'll lose her feelings for him," I said.
"Exactly," she smirked, "You win and I win. I’ll convince him to give me the million dollars too, and I’ll give it to you. So, if he sacks you, then you can have something to keep you stable."
