She had gotten an alert of five hundred thousand dollars from Antonio. Even at that, she couldn’t help but scoff in annoyance. “So much for the said compensation!" Aside the fact that she was carrying a child with no idea of who the father was, she was out of a job which means she had to start job hunting yet again with another politician.
