Abandoned cottage, 8:20 PM
Rohit leaned against the stolen ambulance van, eyes following Robin as he worked around the forest rest house. Despite everything that had happened in the last hour, he was on a call with Namrata, his voice carrying the ease of someone on an evening stroll.
"I don't understand what your problem is," he said, mildly frustrated.
"Rohit." Her voice came through complaining. "It's too much. I expected a small paycheck and you gave me my entire annual salary. You're making me feel terrible."
He rubbed his temple. "Look, Namrata... I paid fairly for what you did. I understand the pride thing, but consider it compensation for the job you lost because of me."
"What job loss? It was my decision."
"Based on my suggestion. So let me settle my conscience and end this useless argument."
A silence stretched on the line before she gave in.
"Fine. But you have to accept a dinner treat from me. And you can't breathe a word of this to Seo-yeon."
