Chapter 68
Upon hearing what Malisa just said, Cora sat up a little straighter, her brows furrowing. Her tone turned sharp, puzzled. "Wait... what do you mean issue? What is Levi asking for now? What’s the problem?"
Her voice held a mix of concern and irritation. The job was supposed to be clean, smooth, no loose ends. Why now?
On the other end, Malisa could hear the tension in Cora’s voice. She kept her tone composed. "Relax, Cora," she said calmly. "He didn’t ask for anything. He didn’t demand more money, and he’s not threatening us."
Cora was quiet, but her breathing was slightly heavier now.
Malisa continued. "He just said he wants to speak with you. That’s all. Just a word. He didn’t give any detail, but he insisted."
Cora blinked, confused. "He wants to talk to me? About what? I didn’t even deal with him directly. You were the one handling him."
"I know," Malisa said softly, "That’s why it’s strange. I asked him, but he didn’t explain. He just said it’s important... that he wants to talk to you directly."
However There was a pause.
Then Cora slowly got up from the couch and walked over to the window, pulling the curtain aside. Her eyes scanned outside, though she wasn’t really looking at anything.
"What does he even mean by that?" she muttered. "What for?"
