Sirena had no idea what was happening outside, which only made her more anxious and helpless. She felt completely passive, unable to do anything.
The plane hit a turbulent patch, and with her eyes covered, Sirena even thought they might throw her off.
“I need to see Ulric. I have something important to tell him!”
She had to play her trump card now. Otherwise, she might not survive until the plane landed.
But Sirena’s words drew no attention from anyone.
The escorts on the plane thought she was crazy.
Could the young master of the Walters family be seen just like that? Even if they wanted to help relay a message, they wouldn’t know whom to contact!
“Tell Ulric that I have something regarding Rosalind to tell him! I need to speak with him face-to-face!”
“Be quiet. Young Master Walters isn’t here. Shouting is useless.”
Sirena turned toward the voice. “Then tell your superiors that if he doesn’t see me, Rosalind will soon leave him!”
She knew how to play on people’s emotions.
If she simply demanded to see Ulric, he wouldn’t come. But if she told him that what she wanted to discuss was about Rosalind, he would definitely agree to meet with her.
…
Rosalind was unaware of Sirena’s situation.
Her mind was focused on B7. She hoped to retrieve the restored flash drive before Ulric discovered the truth.
After all, if intercepted by the Walters family before then, all efforts would be wasted.
Taking advantage of Ulric being busy with company matters, Rosalind sat on a bench behind the hospital and called B7.
She didn’t hold much hope that he would answer due to his unpredictable nature.
To her surprise, after two rings, he picked up.
“What is it?”
His voice was as lazy and impatient as ever. He clearly recognized who was calling.
Rosalind didn’t plan on beating around the bush and asked directly, “How’s the restoration of the flash drive going? You said a month…”
“Almost done,” B7 replied briefly and then asked, “Have you prepared the final payment?”
“Yes.” Rosalind gripped her phone tightly, glancing around nervously in case Ulric came looking for her. “Once you hand over the restored video from the flash drive, I’ll transfer the money.”
B7 chuckled softly on the other end.
“Are you sure you don’t want to be my girlfriend for a week?”
“I’ve already prepared the final payment.”
“Just seven days,” B7 insisted without listening to her. “I won’t do anything to you.”
Rosalind frowned.
She had no interest in discussing this with B7.
“Our agreement was that if I couldn’t pay, I’d agree to be your girlfriend for a week. But now I can!”
“Are you looking down on me, right? Ulric’s woman is so heartless.”
Rosalind wanted to snap but knew she couldn’t afford to anger B7 now. “I just hope you’ll honor our contract! We have an agreement.”
B7 laughed again, his voice suddenly turning much deeper and less casual. “I’ve already checked your account and know you’ve gathered enough for the final payment.”
“Then why ask?”
“If I can access your account, I can block or transfer that money so you can’t pay.”
Rosalind clenched her fist tightly. “What exactly do you want?”
“I want to date you, Rosalind.”
