After he picked up his phone and sent Richard a text message, Seth turned around and left the bedroom.
The next day.
When Brittany woke up, she found Seth sitting on the bed and looking down at her.
Seeing her open her eyes, Seth said in a low voice, "You finally woke up."
"I..." Brittany's first reaction was to touch the sheets beneath her to make sure that she didn't pee herself before she talked to him. "Did I fall asleep last night?"
"Yes," said Seth. "By the time I came out of the bathroom, I noticed that you've already fallen asleep on the couch."
Did she mess it up?
It must be because she didn't eat or drink yesterday that she couldn't stand falling asleep. It must be!
Brittany thought to herself in annoyance.
The next second, Seth's tone changed and he said with a slight smile, "But the way you sleep was quite pleasing to the eye. I didn't bear to wake you up, so I hugged you and slept for the night."
Brittany got up from the bed, grabbed Seth's belt, and asked, "Mr. Charles, can we do it now?"
"No need, I'm going to be late for the business trip." Seth pressed her hand and said with slight regret, "Let's wait for next time."
"A business trip?" Brittany asked in surprise.
"Yes. I'm a businessman. I often have to go for business trips, so I told you not to mess with other men when I'm away last night."
"So..." Brittany looked at him disappointedly and said, "What should I do? Do you want me to wait here for you without any money?"
What about telling her the password after they're done?
Not to mention the password, they had not even made any substantial progress!
Without a password, even if she held one hundred bank cards with her, it would be useless!
"I knew you couldn't wait, so I prepared it beforehand."
As Seth spoke, he pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out a check from it. "This is four hundred thousand dollars. It's my sincerity. You can spend the money as you like, but don't joke about buying a cemetery. You're still so young. You can invest in another thing”
Brittany's eyes widened in disbelief. She could not believe what she had just heard. "You... you're paying me the money?"
Seth nodded. "Aren't you in a hurry to get it?"
"Don't you want to do anything?" Brittany asked, unable to hide her shock.
Seth's face turned cold. "Who was the one who fell asleep last night?"
"It was me..." Brittany had no choice but to ask, "When are you coming back? I'll make it up to you."
Seth said, "I guess it will be a month later. It's a pity that we won't be able to see each other for a long time."
"A month later?" Brittany said softly, "That's so long..."
"Yes, but there is no other way. Men should focus on their careers."
Seth said as he straightened up, "By the way, the keys to the house and the car are placed on the coffee table in the living room. You can use them at anytime."
Brittany thought, "I've never seen such a stupid man before!"
Didn't he know that prostitutes were heartless? How dare he give these things to her?
Seth looked down at his watch and said, "I have to go or I won't be able to catch up with the plane. Remember what I said. Don't mess with other men."
"If four hundred thousand dollars is not enough for you to spend, you can temporarily use the bank card I gave you yesterday. The password is 886697."
Brittany asked in confusion, "Why are you so generous to me?"
"Isn't it normal that the sugar daddy is generous to his lover? I'm happy to do so."
Seth waved his hand and pulled up the suitcase next to him, ready to leave.
Seeing this, Brittany leaped off the bed. "Mr. Charles...”
"Is there anything else?" Seth had an expression that said, "I don't have time to be with you. If you have something to say, you'd better say it quickly."
"Nothing, have a safe journey."
After a short pause, Brittany suddenly bowed to him. The smile on her face turned sincere as she said, "Mr. Charles, you are a good person."
Seth paused for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't feel good being praised by you like this. I hope you won't cheat on me when I'm away."
"No, I swear."
He pulled his suitcase all the way into the elevator, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and reported it to Richard.
"I've already given Patrick's check to her. I'll leave the rest to you. I told her that I'll go on a business trip for a month."
Richard answered, "Okay, one month is enough for Brittany to deal with Daniel. If she dares to do these things again, she better not blame me for arresting her."
At the same time, Brittany, who was left in Seth's house, found a half-man-tall suitcase in the closet after she cleaned up. Then she took the suitcase and the check to the bank to exchange cash.
After the check was checked by the bank staff, Brittany successfully received four hundred thousand dollars.
After a while, she took up the pen and signed her name.
Seeing this, the staff said, "Madam Ramsay, if it's convenient, please pay the deposit first." "How much?" Brittany asked without blinking. "Eight thousand dollars," the staff answered.
Brittany opened the box and revealed a stack of cash, which made the staff's eyes wide open.
It was not because of anything else, but who would bring so much cash to run around now?
"Here you are, eight thousand dollars." The cash was taken from the bank and they were all tied up in bundles, so it was convenient for Brittany to take them out.
After checking the money, the staff found nothing wrong with it, so they gave Brittany a funeral car and let her go pick up the body of the deceased.
*
At the police station.
"What? Are you sure that your husband's body is here?"
The staff member who accompanied Brittany to come over asked perplexedly.
"Yes." Brittany nodded slightly.
The staff could only let someone push the cart into the police station behind Brittany.
Seeing this scene, the police on duty couldn't help but stop Brittany and ask her what she was here for.
Brittany replied flatly, "I'm here to pick up my husband. His name is Daniel."
The policeman on duty said, "Oh, I'll take you there."
When they reached the morgue, Brittany turned back to the staff of the funeral house and said, "Be careful later. Don't hurt Daniel."
The staff nodded to show he understood.
After a round of operations, Daniel was gently placed on the cart. The staff even specially prepared a piece of white cloth for him, which was used to cover him from head to toe, so as not to be exposed to the sun.
From the moment Brittany saw Daniel's corpse, her gaze had never been drawn back. Those large bright eyes of hers clearly had no tears, but they made people sad for her.
"Are you alright?" the staff asked subconsciously.
"Yes, let's go," Brittany said in an ethereal voice.
Almost at the same time, a police officer told Owen that Brittany had come to collect Daniel's body.
Hearing this, Owen just said "okay" and then stopped asking.
