Never Blinded by Love (Linda and Wilson)

"Speak up," Linda said, fiddling with the ring on her finger. The sound of the Jaeger-LeCoultre ring turning was quite pleasant. "Who sent you to follow me?"

She lifted her gaze to the two men who had gotten out of their car.

Linda continued, "You followed me for an hour and a half since I left Felix Group. Did you really think! didn't see you?

"I kept slowing down to let you catch up. Didn't you notice?

"Did you really think your Honda could keep up with a Ferrari?

"I'm in a good mood right now, so if you explain things to me, I won't take any action against you.

"If you don't explain, I don't know what I might do.

"After all,+ never said I wouldn't do anything drastic."

Linda stood by the edge of a flower bed, which was now bare.

"My patience is limited," she warned.

One of the men reached for his waistband, indicating they were armed.

Linda calmly pulled out a personal alarm from her bag, sliding her slender finger through the loop and turning it.

"This alarm connects to all nearby police stations and patrol teams.

"I'd like to see whether you'll act against me faster or whether I'll press this alarm button faster."

She then pointed to several surveillance cameras in the distance. "Your actions will be recorded."

The driver looked intimidated and squatted down with his hands raised.

"Ms. Felix, please. Don't press the alarm."

Linda took out her phone and began recording a video.

"Tell me. Who sent you to follow me, and what were you supposed to do?"

"I don't know who it was. The order was placed online, and the requester wanted photos of you with the child."

"My brother and I are private investigators. We left our agency because we thought the commission split was unfair, but we haven't broken any laws.

"Ms. Felix, we haven't caused you any actual harm. Can you just pretend you didn't see us?"

Linda turned off her phone. "So, you want to settle this matter?"

"Do a favor for

She played with her ring. "The compensation I offer will be more than what that person is paying you." The men, initially aggressive, immediately became submissive at the mention of money. "Ms. Felix, what do you need?"

"I'll give you some photos. You need to show these to the requester and tell them you want to meet in person to discuss additional photos."

"Ms. Félix, do you know the requester?" the man asked curiously.

"You don't need to know that. Will you take the job or not?"

"Of course I'll take it! Who would refuse easy money?" The man's expression turned from apprehensive to ingratiating.

Linda handed him a business card. "Add this number on WhatsApp..

"Wait for further instructions before taking any action.

Linda then threw a wad of cash on the ground. "That's your deposit. Once the job is done, you'll receive ten times this amount."

The bills scattered across the ground, and the men scrambled to pick them up, their eyes gleaming with greed.

Linda smiled.

People who loved money were the easiest to control. With the right incentive, they'd be willing to do anything.

She returned to her car and drove away.
