He was oily. His hair, his smile.
“Sit,” he licked his lips. “It’s not often I get a visit from such an elegant lady.”
“I’ll stand.”
“As you wish, beautiful.” His eyes scanned me head to toe then met mine. “Better view for me.”
I slid the envelope across to him.
He took his time looking through the contents, enjoying what was inside. “Here’s your money,” he leered.
I reached for the cash too quickly, brushing his knuckles with my fingertips. I cringed.
He laughed.
I would wear the stain of this day for the rest of my life.

A perfectly oily character, yet it’s the last line that gives the full impact of this character.

I felt a bit ill writing this character but, completely agree, it’s that last line…
