I nodded and looked up at Hendrix. I had no idea what to say so I kept silent.
Leaning against his chest, I listened to his heartbeat.
He asked, "Don't you have any cash with you?"
I was stunned for a moment and nodded, "I bought something from an old man in an alley. I didn't bring any money with me, so I borrowed some money from her."
He sighed, "You can get cash out of the bank card I gave you. If you want to spend money, feel free to use it."
I nodded, "Is there cash at home?"
"There are tens of thousands of dollars in the drawers in the study. You can take them if you want!"
"Alright," I said and stopped talking. I just hugged and clung to him, greedily taking in his body's scent.

When I approached the front desk, I thought I needed to make an appointment to meet Hendrix, but to my surprise, the receptionist seemed to know me. She walked up to me and greeted, "Mrs. Roberts, you're here."
I was a little surprised and asked, "How did you know..."
