“She will, but there’s nothing she can do since the surveillance camera was broken.”

After giving it some thought, the man continued, “I noticed her eyeing your tummy a few times. She probably thinks it’s normal for you to bump into others with that huge tummy of yours.”

The pregnant woman leaned against her seat and rubbed her tummy. “That’s good to know. I can’t believe we got paid one million for a small favor like this! We really lucked out this time!”

She even dreamt of getting permanent residency in Moranta and using the remainder of the money to start a small business.

Thinking she would have a hard time hailing a cab that late at night, Rayna went to sleep in the guest room instead.
