Chapter 1990 The Fight

• “No, I...” Rosemarie built up her courage out of bitterness, yet fear rushed back the moment she faced him; her voice trembled. “I just think... one... one hundred thousand is too little! Last night was my first time, and I’m still hurting. You know exactly what you did to me, and you paid only that?”
• “It wasn’t just one hundred thousand,” Gale replied. “I also gave your cousin a job. You should understand this. If it weren’t for my connection to you, do you really think, with his qualifications, I’d hire him into my firm? In Dusktown, a respectable position means everything. The post I gave your brother is worth far more than a hundred grand.”
• Of course, he had placed Gerson in his company because the man promised to keep persuading Rosemarie to accept an ongoing arrangement with him. Gale remained thoroughly satisfied with her. A man would often feel a particular fondness and pity for the woman who gave her first to him, and once he had tasted her, he always wanted more. Rosemarie was pure and enticing; they had been together only once, and he was far from satisfied. Yet, she now said she was done with him.
