It's Either You Or No One (I'm Anti-romantic) Book 2

36| Stolen money

Taking a deep breath, Zoraya patted her chest. This is the first time she is laying a finger on a briefcase. She grinned and stared at the briefcase one more time before placing her fingers on the locker.

The briefcase is locked. Seems like there's a secret password to unlock it.

Zoraya frowned. Must it have to be today of her lucky day? What is she gonna do now? This is an opportunity for her. She already knew what's in there and now the briefcase request for a password and she has no idea what it is.

"Ugh" She sighed tiredly. She just heard the shower stopped. Seems like the old man is done with bathing and now he is ready to exit.

Zoraya's heart beats faster in fear. Oh no, what will happen if he comes out and-wait a second, she has already locked him up in the bathroom so how possible is he to come out without the keys?

A pitiful smirk appeared on her lips and she shook her head in sympathy. "Oh poor old man. You just mess with the wrong woman."

Tilting her head all around. Zoraya was now searching for every sharp objects capable of breaking the strong box.

"Yes!" She beamed after seeing a table knife on the stool. She took the knife and began to forcefully insert it into the clipped part of the box.

It's hard, very stiffed for the knife to pierce through. She battled and battled with the knife and box.

Just then the doorknob twisted. The old man is about to get out but he felt confused when the door jammed. He twisted the doorknob again and again, it didn't open.

Zoraya's eyes and mouth widened in shock immediately the briefcase opened and lashed out millions of dollars right before her eyes.

She didn't know whether to scream, jump, dance, or rejoice. The syndrome of excitement inside of her was too great for her slender body to bear.

Just then, the old man began to bang the door. "Open up, hey slutty girl, I know you locked me up in here. Come on, open the door." He shouted.

Zoraya frightened. He might break the door and barge out like a superman. Though he is an old man but he didn't seem that old when he pounded on her last night till the morning. He was vibrant and strong. What if he uses his strong strength to break out from the bathroom and then he'll see his briefcase with her? For sure her life will end up behind bars and her family won't risk out a penny to bail her.

So many things in her head. The old man shouting and banging the door and she standing with a huge amount of money she had never seen or touched before.

Zoraya was confused. She don't want to miss this opportunity. She doesn't have a bank account to secure the money. What should she do at this current moment?

Without wasting any more time especially when the old man began screaming the staffs and authorities for help, Zoraya quickly took a thick paperbag from her purse.

She offloaded every bit of the money into the paperbag, grabbed her purse, took his wallet and phones from his pant's pocket, wore her shoes and dashed out of the room with immediate effects.

Just twenty minutes after zoraya left, the staffs and attendants of the hotel broke into the room and rushed towards the bathroom door.

Immediately they opened the door with the spare keys, the old man dashed out, panting and wheezing heavily.

The first thing he looked for in the room was his briefcase. He can't find it anywhere.

He turned around towards the men, "My briefcase, did you find it?"
