Chapter 29

"Shoot me your card number, I'll handle the medical bills," Maximilian's voice came through the phone.

Earlier at the police station, Maximilian had already bailed her out big time. How could she even think about asking him to pay her for her medical services? But then she felt the few crumpled bills in her pocket and realized she was flat broke.

Katniss hesitated but finally gave in.

"My card number..." Katniss mumbled, then it hit her-she didn't even have a bank card.

"I don't have a bank card. I'll go get one," Katniss said, deciding to fix this ASAP so she wouldn't miss out on the cash.

From the other end, Maximilian's voice came through, "Got it."

His voice was deep and husky, kinda sexy.

After hanging up, Katniss clutched her phone, suddenly realizing that with Maximilian as her patient, she wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.

After wrapping up two classes, Katniss rushed to the bank and got herself a shiny new bank card.

Walking out of the bank, she checked her watch. It was still early, so she decided to hit up the coffee shop to work. Pushing open the door, she saw the place was buzzing, and there was a messy table in the corner. She grabbed a cloth and went over to clean it up.
