"Hey—who are you to talk to me like that?" The woman frowned, looking Leonard up and down with open annoyance. "I wasn't talking to you anyway!"
She muttered the words under her breath, then turned eagerly back to Suzy.
"Since you're going anyway, just help me out a little. We're neighbors after all. I'll pay you."
Suzy tilted her head slightly. "How much?"
"Uh… we can talk about that later," the woman said after a brief pause.
Before Suzy could respond, the woman quickly stuffed a folded note into her hand.
"Just buy these things for me first. I'll pay you when you get back. Don't worry, sis—I won't be stingy."
"…."
There was no way Suzy would agree to something like that. She barely knew this woman, and it was obvious the request wasn't sincere.
Once you gave someone an easy opening, they would latch onto you like a parasite.
Suzy wasn't foolish enough to start that cycle.
