Chapter 1524 - 42: Try It If You Want

Nathan thought for a minute, and then he took another credit card from his pocket. He smiled and showed it to Crystal, but she scowled and said, "Big deal!" The card was more impressive than her mother's, but she refused to be impressed. "So what?"

"This is my salary card," Nathan explained.

"From now on, it's yours."

Crystal smiled wryly and said, "You're not afraid that I'll take your money and run?"

Nathan, "Try it if you want. If you succeed, then there's nothing I can do about it. It is a risk that I am willing to take."

Crystal pushed the card away. She didn't want to have anything to do with this man, financially or emotionally. To her surprise and dismay, though, Nathan aggressively grabbed her hand and slapped the card against her palm.

Crystal took the card, then she ground her teeth together and tried to destroy the card. Much to her disappointment, though, the card was much more durable than it looked, and it would not break. Nathan knew what she was thinking and added: "If I were you, I would take as much of your mother's legacy back as you can. By the way, the password is my birthday, so it should be easy to remember."

Maybe for you - Crystal thought. She sighed and put the card in her pocket without thanking Nathan. I won't even use it - she told herself - After all, I don't even know his birthday!

Crystal casually glanced at the bill and made a mental note of how much Nathan had spent so that she could repay him later. She had said that she would pay for their meal, and she intended to be true to her word.

As Nathan drove away from the restaurant, Crystal watched the world go by outside. The sun shone through the window. It warmed her face, and it helped her relax. Gradually her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

When Crystal woke up, she felt dizzy. She was still in the car, and she could hear Nathan talking on the phone. The window on the driver's side was open, and Nathan was resting his arm on the window frame. He held a cigarette between two fingers, and he was talking with Andy through the car's Bluetooth.

Andy sounded nervous. He said, "Mr. Davis, I've completed my investigation. The people who are stalking you are not members of the media. They are Private Investigators. They have been commissioned to take photos near the Beverly villa."

Nathan: "How long have they been there? And what do they want?"

Andy: "Two hours. Luckily, the bodyguards discovered them. They are investigating your marital status."

Nathan: "Don't drive them away yet. Give them four more hours and then drive them away."

Andy: "Ah? Okay... I got it,"

Andy could not imagine why his boss would allow the Private investigators to remain for four hours, and that made him so nervous that the hand holding the cell phone was sweating. His boss had always valued his privacy, so this decision was out of character for him.

Andy got more and more confused as he thought about his boss's decision.

As Nathan ended the phone call with Andy, Crystal closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Nathan: "Are you awake?"

Crystal didn't answer Nathan, and she continued to pretend that she was sleeping. Nathan stared at Crystal. He thought that her skin looked fairer in the sunshine. Her eyelashes slightly quivered, and they reminded him of a cicada's wings in motion. Her skin was as fair and delicate as porcelain. She had a small, high nose, curling full lips, and was cunning and smart. Not only that, but her provocative eyes were also very attractive. Of course, he knew that most people thought that Crystal was ugly, and he didn't understand why they didn't see her the way that he did.

Nathan took a drag of his cigarette and blew the smoke over Crystal's face, and she began to cough so hard that tears appeared in her eyes.

Crystal sat up, glared at Nathan, and snatched the cigarette out of his fingers. Nathan glowered, but he held his tongue. He was curious to see what she would do.

Crystal held the cigarette between her index: and middle finger. She smirked at Nathan and brought it to her lips. She struck a sexy pose, and then she took a drag off the fog. Normally, Nathan wouldn't have let Crystal smoke, but watching her now, he found that he was too aroused to scold her. Damnit! - he thought - Doesn't this woman know that she's playing with fire?

Crystal leaned forward as she took a second drag, and Nathan was able to see down her shirt. Her smallish breasts were pale, and her push-up bra gave them a look of fullness that generally wasn't there. Then, as he leaned forward to get a better look, she blew a lung full of smoke into his gaping mouth.

After exhaling the smoke, Crystal had planned to retreat. To her surprise, though, Nathan seized her hand and pressed her body against the car's door.

"An eye for an eye," Crystal squealed. "That's fair!"

Nathan laughed and said, "Life isn't fair!" Crystal raised her chin and asked, "What's your point?"

"My point is that I don't want you smoking," Nathan said. He lifted his hips, pointed to his crotch, and smiled. "If you want to suck on something, you can suck my dong." Crystal couldn't help but look where he had pointed, and her face turned red. "You bully!" she shouted. "Hooligan! Scoundrel! Beast! I am not going to smoke or suck anything." A wicked smile appeared on Crystal's face suddenly. She bared her teeth and chomped down on the air in front of her. "But if you offer me the chance again, I might BITE!

Nathan's face turned white, and he flinched. A few minutes later, he pulled over, turned off the car, and said, "Get out."

Crystal looked around with a confused expression on her face. She looked at Nathan and asked, "Where are we?" She thought that they were going to the Beverly villa, but he'd parked outside an upscale mall. Does he want to go shopping? - Crystal wondered. That seemed unlikely.. After all, Nathan didn't like shopping. And he had never brought her to the mall before!
