A thunderous roar went through Nancy's ears.
Her back stiffened. "We're not saying anything bad about you. I'm talking to Crystal."
"Tut, look at the stupid way you're smiling. If you're not talking about , who are you talking about?"
Nancy rolled her eyes. "I didn't bother to ntion you. I was asking Crystal about Clark."
Oh, her baby boy, Clark. How could she forget him!
"Crystal, I miss Clark so much."
"He misses you, too. But he's fine, and I've settled him." Crystal said quietly. "I'll get you back together when we get you out."
"Really? Crystal, can you save ? Will you help get rid of Rat?"
"Well, yes."
"Is it enough, you two won?" Paul was furious again when he saw them blocking the sidewalk and having to get out of the way.
Eric stood at a distance by the fountain, a glass of champagne in hand, looking at the strange trio.
Marcos Garcia was standing next to him, and they were very handso.
"I think there's a line that suits that couple," Eric spoke softly.
"What is it?"
"They loved each other but didn't know it."
Marcos gently sipped his mouth and asked him, "when did you beco so literary?"
"I'm just improvising," Eric said, tossing his glass. "I'll leave that stupid woman to you."
Marcos clinked his glass gently and said, "No problem."
There was an unnatural shadow of gloom in his eyes.
When he saw Nancy's smiling face, he seed to rember sothing.
This ti he didn't make a move. He didn't think Eric would happen to deliver the prey to him.
Crystal and Nancy took a tour of the gambling boat, and sure enough, they found a lot of strange chips.
Along the way, many wolf-like eyes stared at Crystal.
Naturally, a lot of people ca up to Paul frequently to ask if the beautiful woman next to him was for sale.
Although Nancy was pretty, standing beside Crystal, she was like a quiet star, blocked by the moon all luster.
Paul's response grew increasingly impatient.
Asked by another daredevil, he punched the man far away.
Did all these people have eye problems? Why would his woman go unattended?
Although he often made sarcastic remarks about Nancy, he was not at all comfortable with his own woman being ignored.
"Why did you hit him?" Nancy scread in a low voice.
Paul stared at her fiercely. "I hit him because he couldn't see. Mind your own. business."
"You are strangely apt to lose your temper."
"What on earth are you doing here?" Paul began to think about leaving.
Just then, suddenly, a voice sounded sowhere.
"Ladies and gentlen..."
A swing fell from the high ceiling, and a voluptuously young woman sat with her legs crossed and a microphone at her ear.
"Ladies and gentlen, welco to Las Vegas on the Sea and have a nice evening here. As this boat is opening today, we have prepared an impromptu program for you."
Everyone's attention was drawn away.
The bunny girl, hanging from the wire, danced on the swing and went on, "Property for love."
A large screen in the center of a large turntable suddenly showed Huston's beautiful landscape.
The girl laughed lightly and said, "As long as you bring a girlfriend, you can take her as a sale. If you win, take all the real estate in a city, and if you lose, give up your love, of course."
As soon as this bet ca out, it imdiately caused an uproar.
Even though all the people who ca here were rich, no one was rich enough to have all the real estate rights of a city at hand!
"If you win, you can keep betting on your offers..." The girl smiled and jumped into a swing seat, where a cascade of buds burst out in an instant.
She shook it gently, holding the ribbon in her hand. "If you're lucky enough, you can take a few cities in. It's so exciting, isn't it?" People who didn't bring a date began to regret it!
Unfortunately, they had no chance to turn back once the boat left port.
"This is an opportunity too great to miss."
The people below began to cry loudly, "What if we were all willing to give up our love? Does anyone with a sale have a chance to bet on it?"
"You will have a competition of the sale first, and the winning sale is eligible to bet." The woman's ethereal voice drifted away, off with the swing.
Apparently, there weren't many n with a date this ti.
There were about a dozen couples here.
Eric sauntered over. "It looks like you got a great deal off the shelf, Paul."
"What do you an?"
"You brought a date."
Paul said sharply. "Is she a woman? I don't think of her as a woman at all."
"It doesn't matter. In the eyes of others, she is a woman."
Nancy's ears moved. "Why am I not a woman?"
Paul gave her a sarcastic look at her chest. He didn't say anything, but the way he looked at her showed that she was flat.
Nancy said angrily, "Crystal, am I flat-chested?"
Crystal was thirsty and drinking champagne. She almost spat it out.
****
"Nancy!" Paul grinned hard, and then he saw Eric's eyes shooting Nancy from the neck down and above the abdon.
He lunged at Eric with his elbow. "Eric, where the hell are you looking?"
"I'm identifying."
Eric blew up in an instant.
"I think it's pretty big," Eric said honestly.
"She's womanly enough. She's skinny and petite. She's as good as she gets."
Nancy's eyes lit up. "Paul, did you hear that?"
Paul snorted. "Even so, it's because I've been taking care of it every day for years."
Nancy was speechless.
"You think you're where you are without ?"
"Indeed, you have toil as well as rit." Eric patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Rat, you've been working hard."
Paul jerked his hand away.
"Look at her again with your eyes, and I'll dig them out."
"Tut, I wonder when you get petty. Why do you suddenly care so much about a woman?"
Paul's body froze.
"Is it love?"
Nancy opened her eyes wide!
"Paul, admit it. You're in love with her."
Paul laughed contemptuously. "Are you kidding ?"
Crystal knew that Eric's provocation had begun. Crystal knew it without saying anything.
"No wonder you've been after Nancy.. You're in love with her. But isn't the way you love her too perverted?"
