Chapter 257: The demand of money
Erica felt humiliated. She curled her fingers into tight fists, anger unfurling inside her. She shot him a venomous glare. "Am I nothing more than a plaything to you?"
Luke paused in the middle of buttoning up his shirt. "Don’t act so pure. You came to this party willingly. Did you really think this was a tea party? Look around—do you not see what kind of place this is?"
Erica looked away. She had seen people drinking, taking drugs, and having sex around. She regretted coming there in the first place. She wouldn’t have come to meet him if she hadn’t needed money.
"I didn’t come here for this," she bit out.
Luke snorted, his expression oozing condescension. "You wouldn’t have shown up here if you were so innocent. You actually want me to play with you. That’s why you messed with me. Now stop this fucking act."
Erica slipped up her panties and got to her feet. The sting of his tone cut deep, but she refused to let him see how much it affected her. Her eyes burned with a mix of shame and fury. "
I did what you asked. I delivered what you wanted," she spat. "You owe me the rest of the payment, and I’m not leaving until I get it."
He chuckled bitterly. "You are so much in need of money. It’s absurd. Why did you come to me? Go and ask Dylan. He is your cousin."
"I’m not here to play games." Erica’s voice dropped to a venomous hiss as she stepped closer. "I risked everything to get that confidential information from the company. Now it’s your turn to fulfill your promise."
