Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

476 The Crazy Woman

Throughout that week, it rained nonstop in Birmingham. The city had become even colder due to the late autumn rain.

Bill sat in a run-down little restaurant, dressed in a black leather jacket. He had a bowl of noodles on the greasy table, and the heat and aroma filled the small room.

The woman sitting opposite him was wearing a black baseball cap, which made her out of place. Her attitude was condescending, as if she didn’t want to be there. She sat up straight, trying not to touch anything in the room.

She stopped smiling and had a terrifying expression like a spooky ghost. With murderous attempt in her eyes, she asked, "What if| change my mind? De you think you can intimidate me with that?"
