Answer

$ \Phi_E = -0.98 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{C}$. Inward

Work Step by Step

Using Gauss's law we could get the electric flux for the enclosed surface by \begin{align} \Phi_{E}&=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_{0}}\\ &=\frac{-8.65 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}^{2} /\left(\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)}\\ &=\boxed{ -0.98 \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{C}} \end{align} The electric flux is inward as the charge is negative,
