The Woman From Hell

In a blink of an eye, it was time to meet Cole. He did not choose to meet me in Firefly. Instead, he set the appointment at a hotel.

After meeting him the last time, I was no longer worried this time. I came alone to the door of the room and knocked.

The door opened with a click.

What my eyes met was the man in the suit who led me upstairs to see Cole yesterday. He nodded slightly at me and then gestured for me to come in. I entered slowly. He closed the door and retreated to the side.

Cole was sitting on the sofa with a red wine glass in hand. He took a small sip and made an expression of enjoyment before looking at me. The corners of his mouth were curled into a smile. "Right on time." "Of course. How dare I be late to a patron's designated time?" I responded with a smile. I met his deep gaze but did not flinch.

He blinked slowly and then turned his attention to the bag I had brought. "Did you bring it?"

"I did."

"Excellent. Here's the investment letter of intent. Would you like to take a look, Miss Lane?" Cole raised his head and the man in a suit standing to the side handed me a document. After receiving the document, it was indeed a letter of intent.

I flipped through the contents and saw that the terms were detailed. The letter of intent would be complete as long as the payment was made, but would he agree to my terms? "What do you think, Miss Lane? Can we have a pleasant partnership?" Cole's voice registered in my ears, interrupting my thoughts.

"The content is complete. I would want to sign it immediately, but there's no rush." I gently put the document on the table.

Cole was stunned for a moment. He apparently did not expect such a reaction from me. He put down the wine glass in his slender fingers and looked at me, the smile on his mouth deepening. "It looks like you don't wish to cooperate, Miss Lane."
