As the car engine started, Alexander remembered something and held up his phone to make a call. Since he did not get an answer after the phone several times, he looked at the phone with a frown and lay back down on the seat.
…
Mike could not help but retch as he squatted. He had been vomiting for a while now. Although his stomach was empty, he still felt the urge to gag. It was not just because of the disgusting sight. The pungent smell was also unbearable.
“He…” He suppressed his nausea, but as soon as he uttered a word, he scrambled off and gagged, throwing up stomach acid.
“You’re such a loser!” Rhea glanced disdainfully at him, then looked toward the corpse on the floor.
She had not expected this. She squatted and gently touched the corpse with her gloved hand while cocking her head to examine it.
“You even…” Mike finally managed to stop vomiting. He looked over his shoulder, saw Rhea calmly touching the corpse, and resumed retching. This time, he could not even throw up stomach acid.
Rhea was not surprised by his reaction and continued to examine the corpse. “I wonder why. It shouldn’t have happened so soon.”
Puzzled, Mike turned around and tried not to look at the body. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying he was going to die in the first place?”
“Of course!” Rhea looked up and sounded casual, “He had been bossing me around for so long. He deserved this!”
