Chapter 1514 Crazy Pleasures In The Dark:>Ep52

• Nancy knew that my previous life was arbitrage, betting hundreds of millions of dollars on each market move. But I never bet on pure chance like the lottery (which is designed so you lose) or on the collective efforts of folks who went to college on athletic scholarships. If she had asked me I would have told her that "genius" gamblers like Getty always double down trying to recoup their losses. If they win they let it ride, so they never get even, eventually bad things become worse.
• Ending a date with Getty was always tense, Nancy had been thinking of giving the poor guy manual release, after giving her a ring such an expectation would not be out-of-place. Also, she was known to favor him with a few chaste kisses, as he was unlikely to forget himself with grease monkeys at work with her.
• But tonight, after his trip to the twin peaks and exploring her skimpy waistband he was not even interested in a quick hand job, he seemed eager just to end the evening so he could make his phone calls before time ran out. Nancy hoped that he was turning over a new leaf. In a sense he was, a much better leaf for her future, but just not the way he hoped. She was such an optimist about worthless local guys. Especially those who repeatedly proved their negative value.
