Chapter 1553 - 71: Do As You Like
The man laughed and said, "Go ahead and call the police. If you think you can." He nudged the man beside him. "Officer, this bitch wants to call the police. You want to deal with her?"
"I'd love to," the officer replied. He showed
Crystal took his badge and said, "Come here, bitch.. Do you have a problem you want to report?" The officer stood up and tried to grab Crystal's arm, but she dodged it easily.
The officer laughed and said, "You wouldn't dare resist an officer of the law, would you?"
Crystal ignored him and tried to get her friend to stand up. "Come on, Serenity," she said. "Let's go!" She gave two hard pulls, and then she finally had Serenity on her feet. She helped Serenity put her clothes on, and they walked together towards the door.
They had only gone a few steps, though, when Richard rushed over and blocked their way. "This is my girl!" he shouted. "And I won't let you take her!"
"Do you know this girl?" Crystal scoffed, "Do you even know her name?" "Uh..." Richard was suddenly rendered speechless.
Crystal: "You don't know, right? Then what makes you think she's your girl? Let me tell you something; she's my best friend. She came here for my birthday party, so I'll take her away safely, even if I have to risk my life to do it!"
"How touching," Richard chuckled. "But do you think you're at a supermarket? Do you think that you can come and go as you please?"
Richard reached out and tried to catch Crystal. "Don't say that I didn't warn you," he continued. "That woman is my toy for the day. I suggest you leave her behind and scurry back into whatever hole you crawled out of. If you insist on staying, you will be forced into a threesome or an outright orgy."
The police officer laughed, and everyone else followed his merry example. "I wouldn't mind a good orgy," he said. "It sounds exciting!"
Crystal glared at Richard and put herself between him and Serenity. "You scoundrel!" she hissed.
Richard: "What's wrong with me? I have a big enough manhood to satisfy both of you." "What the fuck is wrong with you people?!?!?" Crystal exclaimed. She looked around the room in dismay.
Eric smirked and said, "What a little hot chili. Curse as much as you like, little chili. The more ruthlessly you scold us, the louder you'll groan when we finally assault you!"
Crystal: "Get real. You're nothing but a yellow dog. You can dream all you want, but I have to walk out of that door. Don't blame me for being rude if you guys try to stop me. I'm not kidding!"
The man on Eric's right, Antony Johns, leaned over and whispered into Eric's ear: "This is funny. She has an attitude, doesn't she?"
Antony Johns was one of Eric's employees, and he had been there on the day of the bag incident, but he only now recognized her. "Wait," he said. "I remember her from the store. Don't you have a crush on this girl? How come you aren't standing up for her, like a hero who saves a beautiful girl?"
Eric chuckled and said, "Do I look like a hero? Moreover, does she look like a beauty?"
That got everyone laughing, except for Antony, who had seen how much his Boss liked Crystal. His face remained serious, and he said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to be a hero, you have to take action now. If you save her, she will be grateful to you, and she will probably dedicate herself to you. You would be a God in her eyes."
Eric thought about that for a while. Meanwhile, Richard looked Crystal in the eyes, patted the empty seat beside him, and said, "Is our beauty angry? Come on, come here, sit down, and let's have a chat. Let me make you an offer you can't refuse."
"She can't refuse it because we won't let her," the police officer added. Everyone laughed except Antony, who was getting red in the face.
Antony glared at Eric and said, "Are you really not going to save her? You know how dirty and mean Richard is. If you don't help her, you are practically signing her death warrant?"
Eric: "If you are that concerned, why don't you save her yourself?"
Antony: "You know that my word does not come backed with the same authority that yours does!"
Eric shrugged but said nothing. Antony sighed helplessly and said, "Boss, you don't make any sense to me. If you're not interested in that girl, why did you give her your business card?" Antony looked away and said, "Never mind. Do as you like. I suppose that it is none of my business what you do..."
Eric drew a cigarette from his pocket and
lit it. He took his first drag, held the smoke in his lungs, and let it fill the room. The smoke spread thicker with each puff, and he watched Crystal through the haze, surprised that no one was complaining. What a stubborn woman! - he thought. He decided that if Crystal asked for his help, then he would help her. All it would take was a pleading look in his direction, and he would step between her and Richard.
Eric waited for the look to come, but it didn't happen. If only she hadn't embarrassed me - he thought. Eric was used to being worshiped by countless women, so it was no wonder that he didn't know how to handle Crystal's indifference. What made matters worse was that cupids' arrow had struck Eric for the first time.
Eric had been distracted, but Crystal's sudden outburst brought him back to attention. Crystal had just finished telling Richard that he smelled like shit.
"Really?" Richard exclaimed. "I smell like shit. That's pretty rich coming from a smelly cunt like you!" Richard pretended to sniff both of his armpits, and he gave Crystal a lewd smile. "I get it. You must want to help me remove my smell with your body's oh so lovely scent. When we smash!" As he spoke, he took off his shirt to reveal his upper body. "Does Eric's little chili want to see if there are other smells on me?" He leaned closer to Crystal.
Crystal grimaced.
