Chapter 148: Would You Like One Of These Men?

Leslie’s beauty was undeniable. In fact, she was so beautiful that people almost suffocated because of her beauty. Her thick, long, wavy hair brought out her snow-white skin color, and she was wearing a white, hollow lace, form-fitting skirt.

From the control room, though, Crystal had Nathan’s full attention.

Suddenly, Leslie looked straight into the camera. She pointed it out to Crystal, and she whispered into her ear. “Do you think someone is watching us?” she asked.

Crystal shrugged and said, “Maybe. But who cares?”

“You’re probably right,” Leslie smirked and walked over to William. She smiled and said, “Mr. Wright, I’m sorry for making you wait. I hope you don’t mind that I brought my best friend, Crystal.”

“That’s fine,” William replied. “And you can call me William.”

Leslie nodded, and then she went around the table and sat down. Crystal followed her and sat down next to her.

Leslie had no interest in this man at all, but William was incredibly happy with what he saw, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. As they waited for the waiter to come, he talked about his ideal life, the family he hoped to one day have, and the type of education he wanted for his hypothetical children.

Leslie found this all incredibly dross, and when she couldn’t stand it any longer, she interrupted him. “Mr. Wright,” she said, “you may see some incredible future for us, but I am not as I appear. I have to confess something to you.”

William watched as Leslie turned and smiled at Crystal. Something about the look she gave her friend made him nervous, and he began to fidget with the cutlery while he waited for her confession.

“My family kindly asked me to go on this blind date,” Leslie finally explained. “I try my best to cooperate with them, but I can’t control my heart. I don’t want to lie to myself or anyone else. My heart belongs to Crystal.”

Crystal’s mouth was full of water, and she almost sprayed it across the table when she heard that. She hadn’t expected her friend to take the date seriously, but this was too much.

William was just as stunned as Crystal was. He didn’t know what he was doing wrong. In his eyes, everything had been going great. He liked Leslie, and he’d even planned out their future together. Before he could say anything, though, Leslie stood up, took Crystal’s hand, and left with her.

As the two girls neared the entrance, Leslie’s phone rang. She checked the Caller ID, and when she saw that it was Arnold, she accepted the call. Then, instead of saying, “Hello,” she said, “I take it you are watching us with the security cameras…”

“Don’t give me any attitude,” Arnold snapped. “Return to your date!”

Leslie: “No. Now that I have left, there is no reason to return. That man is a real snoozefest! Don’t worry, though. You don’t need to find a husband for me. I will find a man by myself, and I promise you that I can find a better one than you can.”

“What do you want to do?” Arnold asked. He had a vague feeling that Leslie was going to make trouble.

“I want to look for a man,” Leslie replied. “There are more men than women in this world. Are you worried that I can’t find a man?”

Leslie hung up the phone without waiting for a reply. Then, as she put away her phone, she leaned into Crystal’s ear. “Find some strong men for me,” she whispered.

Did she ask me to find men for her? - Crystal wondered. Before she could properly process the request, though, Leslie pulled her into the hotel.

Crystal knew that this seven-star hotel was a comprehensive entertainment site. The lobby on the first floor was a restaurant. The second floor contained a guest room and a leisure place, and there was a Sunshine Bath on the top floor.

Crystal narrowed her eyes and asked Leslie, “Are you planning to go wild tonight to get back at Arnold for being so controlling?”

Leslie shrugged and said, “We’re here, so we may as well have some fun. You aren’t going to ditch me, are you?”

Crystal: “I’ll stay, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Arnold came to get us...”

Leslie: “He won’t do anything to me.”

Crystal and Leslie went up to the Sunshine Bath. They made themselves comfortable on the beach chairs, and before they knew it, Leslie had five or six admirers mooning over her. Many men hovered around Crystal, but she didn’t give them the time of day, so they eventually moved on. Leslie, though, was a social butterfly.

After having a couple of drinks, Leslie put on a black one-piece bikini that accentuated her long legs, slender waist, and medium-sized breasts. With her arrogant posturing and seductive gestures, she was like a peacock. She walked proudly by the pool and lazily fiddled with her chestnut curls. Meanwhile, in the swimming pool, men and women of all ages stopped and stared.

Crystal was wearing a bathrobe, and she chuckled as she watched her friend. At this moment, she didn’t want to do anything except watch Leslie prance around on deck. Thus, she didn’t notice when Arnold stepped out of the elevator.

Before Arnold did anything, he stood in the shadows and assessed the situation. He saw Leslie prancing around in her bathing suit, and he scowled. There were six strange men following with towels, cakes, and drinks. She winked at a muscular man in a sports bikini, and when he ignored her and jumped into the water, everyone laughed.

Leslie smiled playfully. Then she walked to the diving board and dived into the water.

Leslie swam like a mermaid, and before long, several men followed her into the water.

Then, when she returned to her seat next to Crystal, they joined her on the deck.

Crystal gave Leslie a funny look and said, “So now what?”

Leslie laughed as she leaned back in her chair. She held her hand in the air, and one of the men put a wine cooler into it. Another man began to rub her shoulders. Then, after taking a sip of her drink, she said, “Isn’t it obvious? These men can take me on blind dates. What do you think? Do you like my idea?”

Crystal shrugged noncommittally and said, “It’s not bad. I guess...”

Leslie: “Would you like one of these men?”

Crystal: “Ummm...No, thanks.”
