"Eight thousand dollars is better than not getting any at all."
Sheyan made such a speech to begin the conversation.
The woman sitting in front of him seemed to be of Russian descent. She was called Josina and was very thin.
The woman had thin lips, pale cheeks, and a black hat with a translucent veil which tactfully covered most of her face. If you looked past the dense wrinkles in the corner of her eyes and the pale, flabby skin, she was actually quite the beauty. Sheyan had to admit that if this woman were 10 years younger, she indeed had the qualification to rely on her body to get a job.
On the whole, she gave Sheyan the vibe of a widow - a widow who, despite her financial difficulties, was still struggling to keep up appearances.
But the woman's response to his sentence was very strange. She did not immediately answer him, but had started to eat instead. She looked like she had not eaten in days.
