Rosalynn took her time, saying, “Dilan, if you can't decide, I'll be your constant reminder, making sure you relive those past embarrassments in front of your buddies."

Dilan's face went through a range of expressions. Finally, he clenched his teeth. "I'll go with the second choice."

Dilan found Rosalynn attractive but she was pulling moves like a seasoned player. How had he become her target?

Rosalynn was satisfied. “Good, I want to see results by tomorrow, no later."

Dilan, wearing a gloomy expression, asked, "Can I leave now?"

Out of the blue, Rosalynn asked, "How much did Mrs. Larson shell out for you?"

Dilan's eyes sparked. "What's that supposed to mean? You want to pay me too?"

Rosalynn asserted, “Let's keep things clear. I don't want you to assume that I leverage the influence of the Moreno family to bully you."

Dilan locked eyes with her, eventually saying, “Fifty thousand dollars."

Fifty thousand dollars?

Rosalynn gave him a quick glance, not wasting words. She whipped out her phone. "Give me your bank card number."

Dilan gulped and swiftly shared his bank card number.

Rosalynn then wired him a hundred thousand dollars.

"Dilan, hand back that fifty grand to the Larson family. Life's short.

You're still young. Don't sell your soul for cash; it's better to stay on the right track."

Rosalynn figured this guy wasn't a real bad person. Despite him working for Mrs. Larson, she decided to drop him a piece of advice Dilan glanced her way, his lips moving like he wanted to say something but he ended up leaving without a word Rosalynn pocketed her phone and turned to Zoe.

“Zoe, does he usually throw around threats at school?"

Zoe shook her head. "I can't say for sure but word is he's got a sibling deep into the gang scene, and his sister's sick, needs cash for surgery."

Rosalynn nodded, keeping it casual.

After all, she didn't really know the guy. As long as he got the job done, that was all that mattered.
