“Do you take me for a man short on money?"

“Then what do you desire?"

Barlow looked at her, his eyes dimming.

A sudden sense of anxiety crept over Karina. She subconsciously crossed her arms over her chest.

“I won't sell my body."

At this, Barlow burst out laughing. ley, I could sing you a song “Many superior singers are willing to perform for me.”

Karina agreed.

"Alright. But I must clarify, I won't break the law or cross any moral boundaries.”

Karina fell silent.

He seemed to see right through her.
