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?

"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 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.
