Selfless but Secretive: Learning to Love you

Lina woke to the sound of a notification on her phone, she stretched out in her bed and pulled the floral quilt off her body


 Her hand fumbled around the bedside table for her glasses and she blinked a couple of times before reading the message.


'A payment of 10,000 USD has been made into your account 002311097 from W.Zheng at Zheng Corp.'


She looked at the ridiculous amount. As usual he had completely over-paid for Julie's dresses and in dollars too! Lina lay back in bed and typed a reply to Will's number.


Lina: This is too much, you know that right?


Will: Yes I know Lina. Just accept it and don't worry about it.


Lina felt weird about accepting that kind of money, but she decided to let it go. Plus, she didn't know when she'd see him again, after tonight they didn't have anything else to talk about and he would be gone and out of her life.
