At that moment, hearing what Lovi just said, Malisa gently nodded her head, her face still calm but firm. "Good," she replied softly, yet with a tone that carried weight. She reached into her black leather handbag and brought out a sleek cheque booklet. Without hesitation, she flipped it open and began writing. Her pen moved with quiet confidence as she filled in the amount. Once done, she signed it swiftly and passed it over to Cora.
Cora, who had remained silent up until that moment, took the cheque and also signed her part, sealing the deal. Then she extended the cheque toward Lovi, who was watching them with careful, calculating eyes.
He reached out and collected the cheque without a single word, but Malisa and Cora could tell that Lovi's mind was working fast he was already thinking five steps ahead. Still, the fact that he accepted it without any further resistance meant that he had fully committed himself now, whether he liked it or not.
