There was once a beautiful legend about love that says, "If a man brings you to see a sea of fluorescent cuttlefish, then marry him."
This means to say that if a man puts in effort to bring you some romantic moments, then he's definitely worth-keeping.
One night, a mature, seductive woman was seen visit Hannah at her apartment. The woman was known as Black Widow. Seated in front of Hannah, she was spending some time lazily on the sofa, crossing her legs seductively. Her eyes were painted as dark as the night, which would remind you of some dangerous nightly creature. Idly, she looked around and said in a measured tone, "What an ill-fated life! I never imagined that the Song family would be living in such a poor condition after Mr. Song quit his businesses." Moving her charming eyes on Hannah, the sexy woman asked lazily, "I wonder why Miss Song invited me here?"
A disdainful glint flashed in Hannah eyes after she heard her words. However, not a sign of contempt was shown on her face or in her tone. "I was told..." after a pause, Hannah continued, "...you are wary in selling your things, aren't you?" "It seems you have slowed down and even stopped selling them. How could a professional drug trafficker like you have such a mishap?" she asked while putting on her poker face, pointing out her words back at her.
For a long time, Black Widow had engaged in drug trafficking. As a well-known drug trafficker, she possessed all the qualities fitting for one - ruthlessness, fierceness and sensitiveness. In the underworld, she was one of the best. So it was quite incredible to hear such news about her. From her current situation, she had already guessed why she was called the moment she received Hannah's invitation. Hearing her words, Black Widow paused before asking in an arrogant manner, "Are you interested in my business, Miss Song? Perhaps, do you want to help me disseminate my things?"
"My grandfather had long cut off his association with such dirty things. Everybody knows that." Hannah took a sip of coffee in a graceful manner, keeping her poise. She continued, "Not a single person in our family is allowed to be involved in the drug business, never again. That's a rule set out by my grandfather and everybody in the circle is fully aware of that too."
With her words, clearly, Hannah was up for something. Black Widow stayed quiet, making no response at all. She remained patient and waited for her to get to the point.
Noticing that Black Widow was starting to get a hint, Hannah said, "The police are now keeping a close eye on you. If this situation goes on for three months and your drugs remain stagnant in the warehouse, I believe you won't be able to pay your dealers in the Golden Triangle. You will go short in funds." After saying this, she took a pause and continued, "If that happens, you know what will transpire next. Your name will be blacklisted globally and every drug trafficker in the world will know about your discredit." "I know you're smart. You do understand what I'm trying to say, don't you?" she ended calmly.
Hearing her words, Black Widow couldn't understand whether she was trying to help or threaten her. Dumb-founded, she immediately darkened her face. It was beyond her expectations that Hannah would speak to her in such a manner. To her, Hannah was nothing but a little girl hiding behind his grandfather's pants.
"Before you draw your conclusions, it would be best if you would listen before getting mad at me. I'm not here to deride you or expose your problems, " said Hannah, seeing the darkened expression of the alluring woman. "I called you because I want to make a deal with you, a deal that will benefit both of us. Now, are you interested to hear me out?" she ended.
