Chapter 1187
John's blind date stared at him, unable to say a word for a long while.
Eventually, she began, "I think we should just end it here. We're not right for each other—"
"I disagree," John said, cutting her short.
The woman did a double take but quickly shook her head, remembering all the nonsense she had spouted in the washroom while Cordy was right beside her. "No, I must assure you that we're not..."
"You just want a good time, and the same goes for me," John said bluntly.
The woman was left gaping at him.
How could he tell? And here she thought her maidenly act was impeccable!
Even if Cordy was going to tell him, she could not have done it so quickly!
"You're still fooling around? At your age?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
John simply stared at her, speechless.
"Wait, I don't mean you can't," the woman quickly said. "I mean, shouldn't you be settling down by now?"
"I should."
"And you're still coming on to me?"
"More like coming to you for help."
"What?" The woman was left further confused.
"Once it's done, you will be rewarded generously," John said, cutting to the chase right then.
"With what, money?" The woman frowned. "I'm not exactly short on cash—"
John simply slid his phone up to her, having typed an amount on the screen.
The woman's eyes went round as she gaped, her jaw dropping so far down one would wonder if it would ever close.
"Would that do?" John asked.
"Of course... but that's a little too much, don't you think?" the woman exclaimed, staring at him in disbelief. "Wait, you're not selling me your kidney, are you?"
John chuckled. "No kidney is worth that much."
