Laney waved her fists and continued punching. The punching bag swayed in the air. After a while, she held the punching bag and finally replied calmly, "I'm in this line of work to earn a living."
She then picked up a water bottle from the floor and uncapped it. After taking a few sips, she looked at him with displeasure in her eyes. "So what I am a woman? What does my gender have to do with my fighting capability as against that of a man? After all, you are a man, but I can easily kick your ass."
These words filled Garrett with fear. He scratched his head uneasily, not knowing what to say. 'This woman looks tiny and harmless on the outside, but she's actually inexplicably tough. What she said is very true. I had better not mess with her!' Garrett admitted defeat in his mind.
All his life, he had only met sexy and charming women. They were all weaker than men and this always aroused his pity and love for them.
Laney was the first woman he had met that was charming but tough. She was also stronger than most men, including him. And this bruised his ego greatly.
He thought that it would be unwise to argue with her, so he put on a fake smile and did a welcome hand gesture. "There's nothing wrong with that. Please go on."
