Chapter 240: An Expensive Deal
Layla came around the corner with her arms crossed over her chest. She was quite relaxed for someone who had just been caught hiding. As she approached, she looked at me as if I were a piece of filth stuck to the bottom of her shoe.
After a brief glance at the stairs Iris had taken, she turned her eyes back to me.
"You men are all the same!"
"What?"
"Idiot, pervert, scumbag, freak, psychopath!"
She listed the words in a single breath, then lifted her chin a little higher and waited for my reaction.
I took the mop out of the bucket and leaned it against the wall. I didn't know how long she had been listening to the earlier conversation, but she clearly hadn't come here just to insult me.
"Have you changed your mind?"
The confidence on Layla's face faltered slightly. She crossed her arms more tightly and looked away.
"I don't need your stupid, filthy help."
"Then why were you watching me?"
"To see how pathetic you look, of course."
